AIPT - David Brooke
Nov 08, 2023Thanos #1 is intriguing. It takes a bold stab at telling a story differently and will make you feel dark thoughts that set up a vibe for Thanos to settle into. The plot of the story remains to be seen at this stage, with this issue feeling more like the 10-minute cold open to a great episode of TV. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Anthony Bergamini
Nov 08, 2023Thanos #1 contains one of the most easy to solve mysteries in comics while also serving as a fun reintroduction to the Mad Titan. The way the story is grounded makes it read like no other Thanos adventure before. Read Full Review

Nov 08, 2023Thanos #1 isn't a bad comic and in many ways it delivers some cheesy cosmic fun. But, unless you're invested in the character or that corner of the Marvel universe, it's not really enough to suck you in. Still, the return of Mad Titan and what's teased has some potential there. Still, this is one that's more for the hardcore invested fans. Read Full Review

Nov 08, 2023The Mad Titan is back as Thanos #1 kicks off with a rather dull introduction focusing in on this brand-new character foreign to the masses. What makes this opener even more flat, is the fact that we get nothing suspenseful or thrilling surrounding this new character. Read Full Review

It's slow and perhaps a little too mysterious. Barring those shortcomings--and you could argue that they aren't even shortcomings--this is excellent. The art agrees strongly with my personal taste, but I think it's very polished and clear, even if it's not your style. I like the time spent building up a mundane viewpoint character. It makes a nice contrast to jumping straight into the punchy-zappy heroics. And of course, the core mystery here is that she's probably not all that mundane.

I liked this issue, but it's definitely not what I expected. The biggest thing I wasn't expecting was the lack of the titular character. It's not something I'm going to hold against the story here, but it was just a bit weird. I will say that I do like the new Illuminati team and I'm really glad to see Blue Marvel getting some spotlight here. I do like the story, though, but I just wish this packed a bigger punch with its interesting premise, if that makes sense. All things considered, this was definitely an intriguing opening issue for this miniseries that defied expectations. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

For a series barring the Mad Titan's name, the debut issue severely lacked his' presence. Instead we get a long introduction to a new female character who has some sort of tie to Thanos - enough so that he carves out the city of Fresno and lifts it into space in search for her. She's met by the new lineup of Illimunati, who we're informed has somehow warped her memory to hide who she truly is. There was nothing inherently bad about Chris Cantewell's script, but the script introducing a brand new character verged on boring. It takes nearly 2/3 of the book to get even a semblance of what might be happening and by there is not a lot to get excited about ahead of the next issue. This may end up being an interesting story, but it may be one I sa more
