Oh Mentor, the pitiful father. Spending your life as a disappointment and shame of your son... you had such high hopes for your firstborn, but eventually were killed by the hands of your very own son. How must have it felt, to carry the burden of guilt on your shoulders for hundreds of years? Even the inevitable becomes destructible one day. So for once, the family gathers to seize the opportunity of this advantage. The father is dead, but the epicure brother, the rebellious son, the enraged daughter and the Champion of the Universe are up to a doing. Let's see how epic it is going to end up!
Thanos the Galactic Savage! Enjoyed the pacing of this one. Thanos has God cancer and he is deperate to treat it. The Titan family really is in shambles, and Thanos, as usual, handles the troubles with ruthlessness. Poor father, created a Monster and was dismantled by him. Thanos only has weeks to live. Waiting to see where this goes.
I find the concept of Thanos having god cancer really cool and inspirational. This series is pretty good so far, even if this is only issue number 2 (I mean, I only had to read one issue of All Star Batman to know I hated it, so I guess the reverse is possible, right?)
