The Titan’s Quest Continues In “Thanos: The Infinity Relativity” OGN
“Thanos: The Infinity Relativity” OGN sees Jim Starlin continue his adventures with the Marvel Cosmic universe. I thought Starlin’s last OGN “The Infinity Revelation” was a little substandard. Starlin has a tendency to supplement his art with completely expository writing, but his grasp on the characters is almost irresistible. So once again, I follow them into the abyss. Let’s hope this June’s OGN is a little more appealing than the last.
This coming June, the Mad Titan continues his crusade for untold power! But first, Marvel is pleased to present your first look inside THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN, a brand-new, full-length original graphic novel written and drawn by legendary creator Jim Starlin! Following up 2014’s New York Times Bestseller Thanos: The Infinity Revelation, this new original graphic novel marks the second chapter in Starlin’s epic new Thanos trilogy and another stellar offering from Marvel’s all-new OGN line! Featuring the world’s most popular super heroes and super villains brought to life by the industry’s most popular creators, each Marvel OGN debuts 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, 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? His Infinity Watch has been reunited alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy. Between these two titantic teams, 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 the next chapter in his cosmic epic this coming June for THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN!

IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
