Ratings and reviews

He's bad and potentially the most dangerous being to exist. This could be the screenplay for the coming 2018 movie, if so all my friends will very surprised by two things. Who the true hero is and how the story ends. Death and life are recurring actions of this tale, although the order is mixed but necessary. Truly one of the great comic books to have ever drawn/written.

Dive into the sentimental story of a young boy named Thanos who seeks loves embrace throughout this touching series. Witness firsthand in how love and passion can truly prevail and how a young boys dream can come to absolution.

When I turned the last page I was like "awww that's it?!" Really good read. Mostly loved how the writers dialed in on Lady Death. Other potential readers, this Thanos origin arc wont disappoint. Enjoy
