Has it been enough time that we can talk about this without considering it a spoiler? Hmm. Well, I suppose a spoiler alert wouldn’t help, in that if you haven’t seen Avengers or read “Avengers Assemble” #3, turn away. But by now, most people who care have probably heard the news, so let’s get it over with: Thanos is around again.
However, a lot of people don’t really know who Thanos is. So, in conjunction with him appearing in that movie and that book, Marvel is reprinting some Thanos stories alongside “Avengers Assemble” #7 (which looks to be a pretty big Thanos issue) for everyone who is curious. You’re going to get a reprint of “The Final Threat” and “Thanos Quest”, only one of which is easily available to find today (“Thanos Quest” is in the “Return of Thanos” trade paperback, which is a prelude to “Infinity Gauntlet”), and it’s all coming out in September.
Here are some covers for you:
