I understood West Coast and Great Lakes were the next two Avengers movies.

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one.
And on topic, I actually went on Amazon last night and bought about 80 bucks worth of core reading material. Marvel zombie that I am, this character was always outside my reading focus. As of last night, that changes.
OMG, really? One of the greatest storylines within the Marvel universe. His creator is a demi-god among comic creators.

Yeah, I grew up on all things Spidey, later Daredevil and Peter David Hulk, had an awkward X-Men phase in high school, all along reading whatever I could get my hands on, so came a bit late to the FF and Avengers. But, it's never too late to be introduced!

Make sure you get Marvel Two in One Annual 2 and Avengers Annual 7
Definitely. Time to un-hoard some of my Avengers Annual #7's. Perhaps 4 or 5....

Have you read Starlin's Warlock story arcs from Strange Tales #179 on?
Marvel Two In One Annual #2 and Avengers Annual #7?
Arguably two of the greatest reads/arcs Marvel has ever put out in the bronze age.

Nope.
I need a definitive Walock/Thanos/Captain Marvel Must read list.

I got:
The Life and Death of Captain Marvel The Rebirth of Thanos The Infinity Gauntlet and a more recent work
It's my understanding I've covered all of the major bases. I'll know more what I'm talking about and need to fill in in a few months.
I think that the above issues have some of the following but chronologically I think this is how you should read it:
Iron Man #55 starts you off of course.
Captain Marvel #25-33 is next. Marvel Feature #12 and Avengers #125 should be read too during this period.
This leads into Warlock #9-15. His Origin is in #10. This run cannot be missed. He does sit out 12 & 13 but if you're going to do it right you really should read the whole run. Warlock plays a HUGE part in all this and those issues give you a huge insight into the character.
And then you go to Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2 for the end of what Jim Starlin refers to as the First Thanos Saga.
The Death of Captain Marvel should be read next. Take an intermission, have a beer and pizza and then come back.
Start anew with Silver Surfer #34-50 and then Infinity Gauntlet 1-6 for the 2nd Thanos Saga.
After that there is a lot of source material but whatever you do don't miss Annihilation. You can get by with just Annihilation Book 3 but read all for one of the best cosmic storylines ever. Note that Thanos is not in the entire Annihilation series but IMO you need to eat your veggies along with the main course.
*****
Speaking of Annihilation they used much of the designs from the Annhilation Wave for the big stuff that throttles Manhattan in The Avengers movie. They looked AWESOME!

Nate, pour your objectivity into Strange Tales #179 onward. it's mind boggling.
