Why Thanos is smarter than Spider-Man.

This is from Infinity Crusade #3. It's written by Jim Starlin and illustrated by Ron Lim.

Warlock and Thanos are trying to find a way to stop the Goddess.

I cropped the last panel out, because it was the start of another scene.

Later...

Warlock contacts Pip...

Thanos and Warlock's conversation with Mephisto continued in The Warlock Chronicles #3, written by Starlin and illustrated by Tom Raney.

After Warlock returns...

Finally, in Infinity Crusade #6, after the Goddess is defeated...

	And that, boys n girls, is classic Thanos. Scheme upon scheme, games upon games. For all of his powers, toys and assets, it is Thanos' dark mind is most dangerous weapon. (Reply to this)

	I assume that blank panel is Adam realizing that he'd prevent evil by wiping everything out? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, I just cropped that panel out because it dealt with an unrelated scene. :o (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ya know, I love that last line, but looking back, the Infinity War/Crusade really pissed me off.

Jim Starlin basically made all the heroes and villains of the MU look like total idiots for the sake of his pet creations. No one, not Reed Richards, Captain America, Dr. Strange, anyone! could even look at Warlock or Thanos without losing 50 IQ points.

If he never writes Thanos again, it'll be too soon.

	Hate to be a wet blanket here but... isn't this rather over the new scan limit? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Having never read this before, I believe my actual IRL reaction was, "FUCK YEAH, THAT'S HOW WE DO IT ON TITAN, BITCHCAKES!!!" (Reply to this)

	Oh Thanos, never change. What I like the most about him is his very dark, wry sense of humour. (Reply to this)

	Bah. Mephisto always looks stupid in these cosmic shows. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, to be fair, the cosmic event isn't what made Mephisto look like a Fraggle. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	From your entry headline, I was expecting the Thanos-copter again. (Reply to this)

	I love Thanos proteus_lives 2009-04-20 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	He is truly a cosmic character. His evolution as a character has been pretty steady Thanos isn't good. Thanos isn't evil. Thanos IS. (Reply to this)
