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

Doctor Strange featured comics canon Easter eggs, cameos and massive ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The latest Phase Three film opened doors to new dimensions, introduced new villains but how did it wrap into the big cosmic conspiracy weaving through all the Marvel movies?

I love when non-comic reading but Marvel movie fans come to me wanting to know more about the comics and asking those geektastic questions like, “wasn’t that a stone like in the other movies? That’s part of a bigger thing right?”

Yes, I respond enthusiastically and dive in.

Nearly every film has one common element that will lead to Avengers: Infinity War: Infinity Stones.

In the comics Thanos gathered these six stones on a cosmic Gauntlet and unleashed Death (an actual entity he worships) across the Marvel universe.

Where are those stones and how does Doctor Strange fit into the quest for pieces of the ultimate weapon? Continue reading MARVEL Movies INFINITY Update

If Thanos wiped out half the universe with the Gauntlet in his devotion to Death,  imagine what he could do if he harnessed the power of destruction and rebirth of the Phoenix?

Marvel announced Thanos via Comicbook.com by Jeff Lemire and Mike Deodato as part of the Marvel Now! in the aftermath of Civil War II.

The super villain has been broken and humbled but stands ready to reclaim his power and status among Marvel’s pantheon of powerhouses. Continue reading THANOS vs PHOENIX In New MARVEL NOW Book?
