James P. "Jim" Starlin is an American comic book writer and artist. With a career dating back to the early 1970s, he is best known for "cosmic" tales and space opera; for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock; and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Death and suicide are recurring themes in Starlin's work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine.

In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. Starlin also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974).

When Marvel Comics wished to use the name of Captain Marvel for a new, different character,[citation needed] Starlin was given the rare opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. The Death of Captain Marvel became the first graphic novel published by the company itself. (

In the late 1980s, Starlin began working more for DC Comics, writing a number of Batman stories, including the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug.-Nov. 1988), and the storyline "Batman: A Death in the Family", in Batman #426-429 (Dec. 1988 – Jan. 1989), in which Jason Todd, the second of Batman's Robin sidekicks, was killed. The death was decided by fans, as DC Comics set up a hotline for readers to vote on as to whether or not Jason Todd should survive a potentially fatal situation. For DC he created Hardcore Station.

Este libro es el primer número de una colección de más de 10 entregas publicada por Marvel, que cuenta todas las historias relacionadas con Thanos, el Titan (incluido lo que tiene que ver con el guantelete del infinito que hemos conocido gracias al universo cinematográfico de Marvel MCU).
El nunero 0, que leí el año pasado, es una breve mirada al origen, nacimiento y niñez de Thanos y su precoz relación con la Muerte.
Por su parte, en este número, vemos a un Thanos ya maduro y poderoso, que controla la galaxia y busca apoderarse del universo convirtiéndose en un Dios. Interfieren con él unos pocos Vengadores (casi todos diferentes a los que se presentan en el MCU) a la cabeza del Capitán Marvel, un guerrero Kree que adquiere conciencia cósmica, y con el apoyo de Drax El Destructor, una entidad creada por Mentor (padre de Thanos) para lograr la destrucción de su hijo.
Como es de esperarse, hay mucha acción y escenas simbólicas a lo largo de toda la historia. Una gran obertura para comprender a detalle todo lo concerniente a este escalofriante titán.
El trabajo escrito y gráfico de Jim Starlin y compañia es muy bien logrado y vale la pena ser admirado con palabras como las siguientes:

Con cada victoria viene una pérdida, con cada alivio viene un arrepentimiento. Solo unos cuantos pueden entender... Y entender es elegir una vida sin elecciones simples...
