Thanos #4

Though the titular character barely makes an appearance,Thanos#4 continues the series' winning streak. By having the Mad Titan absent,writer Jeff Lemire gives himselfthe narrative space to carve a new way for Thane to progress as a character, while tying the son back to his father. Mike Deodato and Frank Martin keep the book an intense visual masterpiece.Thanos#4is a depraved space-opera, and one of the best books on the stands. Read Full Review

Lemire taps heavily into characters and conflicts that began in Jonathan Hickman's Avengers run, but Lemire lack's Hickman's flair for grandiose wordplay. Read Full Review

This was a really enjoyable issue with a lot of cool stuff. I really liked the black coven, Thane's friendship with Lobo-looking guy, and Thane's rescue. It was a good read. It's a bummer that Lemire is leaving Marvel, but this is not the kind of series that likely had a long life anyway. Hopefully Lemire has enough time to finish this story in a satisfying way.

Rewind to find out how poor Thane, cosmic patsy, fell into the center of this plot to take down Thanos. Jeff Lemire shows off his knack for combining plot and characterization in a fast-moving mix. Thane is such a pushover that he's both hilarious and tragic, and he'll almost certainly be the weak link in the plot against his Daddy. Mr. Deodato's art is ... I guess "sufferable" is the right term? He assembles decent visuals out of a busy collage of bits that don't quite impress on their own.
