This morning Marvel announced a followup to Jim Starlin’s Thanos OGN from earlier this year in the form of “Thanos: The Infinity Relativity.” And while I appreciate giving the mad titan back to the man who created him, I can’t help but feel he writes cosmic marvel with it’s exposition on it’s sleeve. A problem I found glaring in his “Thanos: The Infinity Revelation.”
Despite those reservations, I’ll still read this new graphic novel. I just hope that Starlin has time to improve his dialogue and give the story some range that it needs. Cosmic characters are quickly becoming no more strange than the modern superheroes on screen, so hopefully we can shrug off the grand salutations, outer monologues, and meandering story for something truly focused and thought provoking. Because at it’s best the cosmic universe should make us question our own existence.
This coming June, the Mad Titan continues his crusade for untold power as legendary creator Jim Starlin returns for THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN, a brand-new, full-length original graphic novel! Following up 2014’s New York Times Bestselling Thanos: The Infinity Revelation, this new original graphic novel marks another stellar offering from Marvel’s all-new OGN line, featuring the world’s most popular super heroes brought to life by the industry’s most popular creators and debuting in a high-end, oversized format featuring sophisticated packaging and design.
Annihilus, lord of the Negative Zone has re-ascended to power, more dangerous and more deadly than ever before. When he and his Negative Zone armies make another, renewed assault on our universe in search of a source of infinite power, a fragile alliance of the universe’s most unlikely protectors will form to stop him.
Now the Guardians of the Galaxy, Gladiator the Majestor of the Shi’ar Empire, and Adam Warlock and more must unite like never before! Only Adam Warlock’s complex cycle of death and rebirth has left him more confused than ever before. What is his purpose in the universe? Why is he here? With his Infinity Watch reunited alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, between them they may hold the key to ending the threat of Annihilus once and for all – but to do so they’ll need to enlist the help of another.
Could it be that the fate of everything lies in the hands…of Thanos?
Find out when comic legend Jim Starlin returns for his next cosmic epic this coming June for THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN!
