Thanos Rising

 
Bloody good read this one. 2013's 'Thanos Rising' charts Marvels' big purple villain from his disturbing birth, through his troubled formative years and his journey towards the merciless Titan that destiny would have him become, no matter how hard he tried. Strong stuff. Dark themes for a dark character, they don't call him the 'Mad Titan' for nothing. He's clearly not right. Compellingly written by Jason Aaron you almost feel sorry for Thanos at times, only almost though; and as for the illustration, well, Simone Bianchis' work is never not gorgeous, and it's made even more so by fantastic colour artists Simone Peruzzi and Ive Svorcina. As I say, bloody good read.
