Are villains born bad or just raised that way?

One of Marvel’s biggest bad guys got a cameo in the finale of The Avengers movie but he’s the star of a major comic book event kicking off this week. Thanos Rising #1 takes you  into the childhood of the alien who grew up worshipping Death and would wipe out half the universe to honor her.

Thanos is the villain that will drive Marvel’s comic books and movies so this could be a critical series for fans to follow.

Thanos Rising #1 hits Earth this this week.
