Title: THANOS Post by: Perry on November 18, 2016, 01:41:44 PM Well, not really a "Marvel HEROES Solo Book", but ...
;D Thanos Issue #1 Ohhhhh, this is going to be good. Pure set-up, but the characters we see in this issue, some recently spotted and some I have not seen in a good days age, make this a very intriguing issue. Jeff Lemire? Okay, yeah, I'm all over that guy's writing Mike Deadato? Ha, like there is any doubt. Thanos? Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner!!!! 8 outta 10 -Galactic Heavyweights :) Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Jeff on November 18, 2016, 08:29:48 PM Awesome! I was hoping this was going to be good!
Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Perry on November 18, 2016, 10:44:46 PM Yeah, this has better potential than the Aaron mini. At least so far.
:-\ Not that Aaron's was "bad" I just wanted a little something different. :) Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Jimmy T on November 18, 2016, 11:40:03 PM If there is any other character that I hold a strict bible of interpretation to, it's Thanos
(along with Adam Warlock, Captain Mar-Vell (Kree versions, thank you very much), and duh, Superman ;) ) So...I'm truly curious if this can be good! Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Perry on December 24, 2016, 01:02:07 PM If there is any other character that I hold a strict bible of interpretation to, it's Thanos You may not like this then. ;D Just kidding. I only say that because of one thing ... one thing that has yet to be explained, but is still there non-the-less that makes me scratch my head a little. As of now, I have been able to thoroughly enjoy both issues, but I am still confused about a major point in this series. That said ... Issue #2 I finally found why I am digging this so much. Ha, aside from the two obvious points being the writer and artist ;D This book reads like the old Abnett and Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy. That is what this feels like. So strong. Plus, as I was suspecting, this is going to bring around a lot of potential answers to a lot of questions regarding some arc from the past starring other people that I won't say until people start to read this. :D :D Got that? ;D :D :D :D Anyway, take the time, put your feelings of confusions aside after you read issue one (Jimmy ;)) and enjoy what could be the greatest adventure Marvel has put to paper in a long time. At least since Hickman left. Though this also has the feel of leading up to another "Event", which makes sense as how long can a Thanos book truly last without being part of a larger story, it still has a strong taste that makes it a worthy read each month. Also, that makes me think of something I will post in Thor ... Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Jimmy T on June 16, 2017, 09:09:31 PM If I didn't have to say it, I loved the first issue. Can't wait to continue reading this!!
Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Perry on June 17, 2017, 12:13:54 PM I think issue #10 is Lemire's last issue and I also think that is about as long as I would want or need a Thanos book to last. Of course I am still enjoying the hell out of it, but yeah, some things need a natural end and I think this story is/should be one of those things.
Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Jimmy T on November 02, 2017, 02:14:12 AM Still only at issue 6. 4 to go yet before commenting!!

Man you are so right with this statement. I love that he brought in random cosmic characters and made them fun to read. Starfox, Terrax, even Thane. The addition of Title: Re: THANOS Post by: Perry on November 02, 2017, 01:43:53 PM I think issue #10 is Lemire's last issue and I also think that is about as long as I would want or need a Thanos book to last. Okay, I change my mind. :D Now that I know Donny Cates is coming on, taking over the writing duties, I think I will be more than happy for this title to continue. If his (Cates) other books are any indication, I will be loving his take on Thanos (and his Dr. Strange as well) And yeah Jeff, I love the use of c and d listers. Use that library of characters!! ;D And the only thing I fear with the Phoenix Force use is its ... overuse. I do like it here, you are right, it was a well done plot devise :D Also agreeing with Jimmy, though I am not sure where I read his feelings on the matter, but I also am not a fan of Thane. Just not a good character. Not one of Hickman's best to say the least (although maybe it was an editorial forced action and he wrote around that?) I like his drive, just not a fan of his. That may not make sense. Shockingly. :D :D :D |
