I've read a 12 issue mini-series which I borrowed from a friend about one of Marvel's best villains, Thanos.
Issues 1-6 were by Jim Starlin, the creator of Thanos, and concerned the mad-Titan's quest to make-up for his past misdemeanors by making amends.
It was a fun comic, with Thanos having to go up against Galactus and with Warlock, Pip the troll etc also appearing it was a typical Starlin cosmic comic.
Issues 7-12 though were by Keith Giffen who went for a slightly different tack. It was actually interesting to read a story about Thanos that was by someone else but I didn't enjoy them quite as much as the first 6 issues. Perhaps it was a "good" Thanos is already wearing thin on me and I want to see him go back to doing what he does best.Being (very) bad. I did like the fact that he gets himself a herald at the end of the series though. After hanging with the Big G for a bit I suppose it was inevitable.
Overall, enjoyable but not essential. Rating 6.5/10
