Before I begin this review, here's some brief backstory for this comic. When I first started reading this I got a bit confused on where it fit into Marvel continuity. Turns out this is a double-sized recollection of the two issues that were meant to be Thanos' final appearance, until he returned over a decade later in the lead up to The Infinity Gauntlet. Written by Jim Starlin, the characters creator, it's quality is just as good as you would expect. In it, Thanos' greatest enemies the heroes Adam Warlock and Captain Marvel team up with The Avengers, and later with Spider-Man and The Thing to stop The Mad Titan from using the power of objects that would come to be known as Infinity Gems to destroy all life. The storytelling here is amazing. It's no secret that Starlin and Marvel have fought often over the years but even though this was his last work before his return with the Infinity Trilogy, his passion for these characters shine through. The art is great as well, but I couldn't figure out who did it. Once again as a Starlin Thanos story I highly recommend this. As one of Marvel's greatest villains it's a fitting "final" arc.
5/5
(Bonus Information: Thanos' next appearance was in the miniseries Thanos Quest, leading into The Infinity Gauntlet event. I've already reviewed it, and it can be found on my Amazon public)
