After months of SHIELD-like secrecy, Marvel has finally revealed details about its previously "classified" Free Comic Book Day 2013 release. Written by Jonathan Hickman and featuring the art of Jim Cheung, it looks like Infinity is all about reestablishing Thanos as one of the biggest and purple-est threats to the Marvel universe...

Marvel Comics announced on Wednesday Thanos Rising, a new miniseries by Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi that will offer what would appear to be an authoritative, modern origin of the cosmic villain who was introduced to millions of moviegoers in the closing moments of The Avengers...

If you think about it, Darkseid and Thanos would probably get along. Their similarities, most notably their obsession with death (or in Darkseid's case, Anti-Life), have often linked the two in fans' minds. As such, writer Justin Jordan and artist Rafer Roberts created a short story for Roberts' site that depicts the classic villains in the only type of friendly setting you could ever really envis

With the character's sudden prominence in Hollywood (spoilerzzz), it's a pretty big step for Keatinge, which is why I spoke to him about his plans for the book, his lo

Marvel's Director of Communications - Publishing & Digital Media Arune Singh introduced the members of the publisher's "Next Big Thing" panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday: Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, editor Sana Amanat, talent scout C.B. ...

Many people met him for the first time during his mid-credit appearance in the record-breaking officially-third-most-successful-movie-ever The Avengers, but even for those of us who've been familiar with the character for a long time, there's still one question to be answered about Thanos: What makes him tick...

Hasbro's Marvel Universe "Greatest Battles" two-packs are about to welcome all new Adam Warlock, Mr. Sinister and Gambit figures, along with a repainted Thanos to the 3.75" line. Tentatively slotted to arrive in stores later this year/early in 2012 according to PGT and BBTS, the two packs will pair Thanos and Adam Warlock with a copy of The Infinity Gauntlet #3, while Mr...

One of the most accepted truisms in super-hero comics is that there's not a whole lot of new stuff to be found underneath Earth's yellow sun.
