Thanos #16

There are so many reasons for me to recommend the is book. If you are a fan of Ghost Rider or Punisher, this is a no-brainer to pick up. Read Full Review

This issue not only delivers on just being an origin it also sets up Cosmic Ghost Riders upsoming solo series and does way more world building than I ever expected. So much goes on in this issue that under a lesser writer it could come off rushed and chaotic yet Cates handled this issue with such grace and you can tell him,Shaw,and Fabela are having a blast pouring their love into this story.

This book is crazy in every sense of the word, and it's worth much more than the price of admission. Read Full Review

If you can only pick up one superhero comic book this week, buy the ticket and take the ride with Frank Castle - pick up Thanos #16 today. Read Full Review

Thanos continues to be a fantastic series and the praise it is getting is well-deserved. Cates' writing is top-notch and the combination of Geoff Shaw and Antonio Fabela delivers some awe-inspiring art. Thanos #16 delivers bombastic action, laugh-out-loud comedy and some good introspective character study. This is the best book Marvel Comics is putting out right now and is one of the best comic books out right now period. The creative team is firing on all cylinders and it does not seem like they are letting up anytime soon! Read Full Review

Thanos #16 is a fantastic read. Action, dry gallows humor, abstract sci-fi concepts, and utter ruthlessness come together for an enthralling narrative bolstered by great artwork from Shaw and Fabela. This one is definitely recommended. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Thanos Wins is perhaps the most unique story going right now. In retrospect, you know you're not reading the book of a protagonist. And yet you can't help but cheer for Thanos in certain ways. Donny Cates is bringing his "A" game in order to give you a Thanos, unlike anything you've ever read about the Mad Titan. This is amazing storytelling and art from top to bottom. Thanos definitely is winning here! Read Full Review

THANOS #16 is a fun romp that tells the origin of the alternate reality Ghost Rider version of Frank Castle. It's filled with humorous dialogue and gags. Writer Donny Cates made this one of the most memorable issues I've read in a while. Artists Geoff Shaw and Antonio Fabela helped make it a hilarious book. Read Full Review

This is a series that deserves to continue past the next Marvel relaunch. Read Full Review

I want to like Donny Cate's apocalyptic take on the Mad Titan, but the current story is too bogged down in details to be wholly satisfying. Read Full Review

This story is still going strong. We finally have the origin of the Ghost Rider, which is actually really interesting, and we saw the fight between the Thanoses and The Fallen One. While the fight isn't over, I feel like this first part was pretty short; I wish it was longer. But that final panel, though. Marvel really has me fucked all the way up with this Thanos run. It's mad like the Titan. Still 10/10.

Straight up one of the best Marvel comics I have ever read. It is epic. It is funny. It is expanding what we know about the Marvel Universe. All this with great art, both character and splash pages are incredible to look at. Oh and do you like it when a character is introduced with their sweet logo on the page? Then prepare to be a very happy comic reader. Seriously this comic rules.

This is without a shadow of a doubt best book marvel has going for it. that's pretty much my review. Donny Cates has really elevated the titles that he has taken over for marvel to the next level and paired with phenomenal artists like geoffrey shaw and ryan stegmann has me itching to read anything he puts out. I think that Donny has a better idea of how the minds of these Marvel bad guys work than anyone else writing comics right now.

Wow! Donny Cates really knows how to end his issues, am i right? Again leaving us with a "HOLY SHIT! WTF!" reaction on our faces. This issue also made this version of the ghost rider my favourite one. Great respect to Johnny Blaze and Robbie Reyes. But Cosmic Ghost rider is just the one for me. His origins story is believable. I understood why he behaves like that. In some pages, the artwork is just too amazing for my eyes to see, especially the one featuring Galactus and Mephisto. Bigggg credit to Geoff Shaw! As always, along with Kelly Thompson, Donny Cates is now one of my favourite Marvel Comics writer. Keep it up man! #THIS IS HOW MARVEL COMICS SHOULD BE AND FEEL LIKE!

I'm not going to lie; I'm more a DC guy. Lately, I've been trying my best to get caught up with Marvel since Legacy has happened. My point: this BOOK, not just this issue, this BOOK, is freakin' amazing! This story is imaginative, so dang creative, and leaves you wanting more. This writing, especially since issue 13, has been great. Don't get me wrong, I've now read all issues of this series and they are all pretty dang good! But, let's recap: Thanos is pulled to the future by the Cosmic Ghost Rider who is commanded by future Thanos himself. Thanos has literally laid waste to almost everything. The "boy", as young Thanos is called, was drug there by the COSMIC FREAKIN' GHOST RIDER! Which we find out is Frank freakin' Castle... who has a dog... which is actually the freakin' Hulk!!! Did you read what I said? How could you not want to read this after that sentence? Old Thanos needs the help of Young Thanos to find lady death. Well, this issue gives us the back story of how Frank Castle became the Cosmic Ghost Rider, the deals he made, and it actually makes sense. It is done SOOOO well. Frank makes a deal with Mephisto, to later make a deal with Galactus, to later make a deal with Old Thanos... it's just nuts!!!! And the art is fantastic throughout all of this. We find out that the Fallen One, who young and old Thanos are trying to take down, is The Silver Surfer. And he's been waiting all this time to stop Thanos by collecting everything he can, including the annihilation wave and Thor's hammer! This is by far, the best ongoing in Marvel or DC. If you're not reading this, you have too stop everything and start right now! Read the entire thing from issue 1.... but if you can't, start at 13 for this story arc. Keep up the great work!

Peace more

I was sold on Donny Cates' run within the first few pages of issue 13 after Thanos conquers the Chitauri. This creative team hasn't taken their foot off the gas since. The series is just a ton of fun and the back story to the Cosmic Rider is a blast. I'm glad to see so many of these issues going to 2nd and 3rd printing, and i'd like to think it has so much more to do with Cates and Shaw than the Infinity War movie. I may actually have to buy a Venom comic (shudders) with Cates writing it.

It's the stupidest and greatest Ghost Rider story on a another comic book.

This book is on another level. It's epic throughout and funny when it needs to be at the same time. Kudos to Cates and Shaw for giving us this beauty.

It was a good read with great art, but my only gripe would be how easily Frank started to work with Thanos. Other than that it was a good story.

I think dragging that out would have been unnecessary, Thanos just decapitated his partner and tossed the rider away like a piece of paper. I think at that point Frank was just looking for a friend.

I think we did not read the whole conversation. Probably everything we have seen is just a summary.

This was a really spectacular issue. I loved seeing Frank Castle's past and his team-up with Thanos.

Before we get down to the brass tacks of Surfer vs. Thanoses Round One, the creators treat us to a delightful dose of Cosmic Ghost Rider backstory. It's not revelatory but it is a blast. The cliffhanger, with Surfer showing off a hell of a gamechanger for Round Two, is both awesome AND shocking. This issue brings the story back to its core principle: The pure comics equivalent of bitching heavy metal guitar solos. Rock on!
