Kramerica Kramerica Carpal Tunnel TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 06/02/04 Posts: 11638 Loc: Santa Barbara, CA	Originally Posted By: joeypost I would also suggest the captain marvel 25-33 storyline. Go buy some beaters to read. 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!

joeypost joeypost Mr. Patience TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 01/26/06 Posts: 17483 Loc: Impatiently waiting	Whats so great about him He was able to achieve ultimate power (twice) by obtaining the cosmic cube and the Infinity Gauntlet. While he lost that power (both times) he was able to single handedly take out most of the Marvel universe. Without the cube or gaultlet he is a force to be reckoned with. He has power, strength and intellingence to go with a mean side unrivaled in the Marvel Universe. In the past he looked for trouble, found it and the heroes could do nothing about it. I am sure your opinion will change after reading the list of books suggested in the thread. _________________________ Home of CFP Comics CFP Comics Inc.

Don't worry, Gary, If you couldn't see the Thanos appearance coming from a mile away, you'd have to hand in your comic collector membership card.

He has always been written as a poetic-type villain. He's extremely intelligent and well-spoken however he is also insane. So are Victor Von Doom and the Red Skull - why is Thanos a better villian? It's just a matter of opinion. Unlike Doom or Red Skull which are earthly characters with earthly desires such as wealth or political power, Thanos' insane desires were on a completely new level. For example, he wanted to kill billions not because he wanted their wealth or not even because he disliked them--he just wanted to win the love of the entity of death and figured that was killing a bunch of folks that it would dot he trick. They don't call him the "Mad Titan" for nothin'. I've also thought his character design was cool looking. His "look" also plays a part in that as a child he was viewed as a "freak" because of his appearance. _________________________ http://www.tampabaycomiccon.com/ http://www.orlandocomicexpo.com/ http://www.nashvillecomicexpo.com/ http://indianacomiccon.com/
