I caught up on these three last night.  I love what Abnett & Lanning are doing with Thanos and the Guardians of the Galaxy here.  This is going to be fun.

My only gripe is that it has all of the other cosmic characters in it.  This should be a Guardians only story.  They have enough characters to keep us going.  One exception: I like that the Silver Surfer is going to be a part of this.  I just don't care to see the Inhumans or the Mohawk guy from the Imperial Guard.  Even Nova is not necessary for this adventure.

But I LOVED the big reveal at the end for who the real bad guy is from the Cancerverse.  Should have seen that coming with a name like Cancerverse.

Written by DAN ABNETT and ANDY LANNING. Art by MIGUEL SEPULVEDA. Cover by ALEKSI BRICLOT Thanos...Nova...Silver Surfer...Quasar...Gladiator...the cosmic heavy-hitters take the stage as Marvel's latest sci-fi saga rockets onwards! A rival universe where life is the ultimate curse--and reality is determined by twisted, monolithic gods--is gouging into our own! Even the great abstract figures of creation like Oblivion and Eternity have taken up arms! What possible significance can Star-Lord and his band of misfit heroes hope to have? And how will the Mad Titan Thanos choose to take his stand? Find out here - and also find out why Aint It Cool News says: 'Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning continue to put out stories full of amazing characters and exquisite scenery...each issue is jam packed with the best Marvel space characters that put most of the stories on Earth to shame.'

Thinking this will lead to the a COSMIC AVENGERS title. As I have seen where ... crap, forgot who it was now ... but ... crap ... well anyway, another writer has been given another AVENGERS title. Was it ... Van Lente?

It may just end up being another mini or something like NOIR AVENGERS, but I am hoping for Cosmic.

THE THANOS IMPERATIVE #5 (of 6)
Written by DAN ABNETT & ANDY LANNING
Penciled by MIGUEL SEPULVEDA
Cover by ALEKSI BRICLOT
Thanos lives, but now Lord Mar-Vell moves in for the kill! The Undying Lord of the Cancerverse has underestimated the tenacity and fury of his adversary, but no longer! The Mad Titan is outnumbered and outgunned by the Cancerverse forces, and his unlikely allies—Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and the other brave misfits—find themselves making a last stand to save the galaxy’s #1 villain! It’s another unpredictable chapter of the saga that IGN.com calls “First class stuff...it’s accessible and epic” and Newsarama.com hails as “one of the most enjoyable reading experiences of the year; it’s a summer blockbuster backed by humor and characters I actually care about.”
