Thanos: Infinity Abyss

Rating:
Summary: Another of Jim Starlin's excellent cosmic epics.
Review: *mild spoilers*

Jim Starlin has been writing comics for more than 30 years now. He has many credits under his belt, but perhaps his most appreciated works are his cosmic epics, where the fate of the universe (if not more) hangs in the balance.

In INFINITY ABYSS, the tale centers around his greatest creation, Thanos, who used to be a villainous nihilist but has "mellowed" of late. Odd semi-doppelgangers of Thanos are trying to destroy the universe, and only the original can stop them. But he cannot do it alone-- he will need the help of Adam Warlock, Pip The Troll, Moondragon, Gamora, Dr. Strange, Captain Genis Mar-Vell, and a certain friendly neighborhood Spider-Man...

Some Starlin fans found this miniseries disappointing, but I enjoyed it. Neither his writing nor his art have weakened over time. He effortlessly blends high-stakes cosmic battles with humor.

Highly recommended for all Thanos fans; mildly recommended for just fans of Marvel Comics in general.
