Thanos…as you’re never seen him before?

Some of Marvel’s biggest bad guys are not the forces of ultimate evil they used to be.

Doctor Doom is trying to follow Tony Stark’s legacy in Infamous Iron Man.

Now the Mad God of Titan is under siege but not in the way you might expect.

Thanos #1 arrived with a thunderous crash like the Mad God’s boots landing on a doomed planet. Jeff Lemire (Extraordinary X-Men, Old Man Logan) and Mike Deodato team up for a big new chapter in the life of the cosmic menace.

Picking up after the villain’s escape from Earth after Civil War II, the first issue saw the return of other alien characters, a look at an infamous sector of space and set up a shocking new status quo for the classic villain. Continue reading THANOS Shocker

Here’s a first look at Dustin Weaver’s art for Infinity #2 from Marvel. Writer Jonathan Hickman is joined by Jim Cheung, Weaver and Avengers World artist Jerome Opena on the epic clash between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Thanos and the mysterious Builders.

The Hickman/Weaver SHIELD series is not about Nick Fury and super spies but rather Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Howard Stark and other super brains in a history twisting epic.
