I went back and ordered the first 6. They may actually be in my mailbox - need to go check since I've been out of town.
Brian Michael Bendis writing Thanos perked my curiosity and I'm looking forward to reading this series.
Well, to tell the truth, the story has been a little underwhelming. All the elements are there to make a good story, it just doesn't have that pizazz. It reads like a paint-by-numbers story. I hope I'm proved wrong and by the end it blows me away.
