As a long-time Marvel fan who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless superheroes and villains, I must say that the upcoming “Avengers Annual” #1 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the comic book canon. The story’s focus on Thanos’ complex motivations and his newfound sense of duty for the universe is a refreshing take on the Mad Titan.
Thanos’ tale is one that instills fear and threat, yet he stands as a genuinely complex supervillain. It can be simple to categorize him as merely another malevolent cosmic entity with an obsession for world conquest, which is accurate to an extent. However, Thanos was driven to evil by unique circumstances, and his reasons for wickedness on any given day are diverse. The “Avengers Annual” #1 by Derek Landy and Salvador Larroca seems ready to explore a less familiar side of this giant purple antagonist, although there may be some parallels with both his Marvel Cinematic Universe portrayal and previous comic book versions.
2024’s “Avengers Annual” #1 finds me, as a fan, eagerly anticipating Thanos’ quest for the Infinity Stones once more. This time, he’s setting his sights on the Death Stone to wield ultimate cosmic power. The challenge, however, lies in that these stones are lodged within individuals who will go to great lengths to thwart the Mad Titan. Known now as the Stone Bearers, their ability to coexist remains uncertain.
As a gamer, I stumbled upon an interesting revelation in “Avengers Annual” #1 – it turns out Thanos’ coveted gem has taken up residence in an unforeseen host, someone who’s walked both the paths of hero and villain. This discovery leaves me eager to see what unfolds for Earth’s mightiest champions, and delve into the two notable shifts this narrative seems to have brought about within the Mad Titan himself.
Thanos has a new motivation (and a familiar outfit)
In an exclusive sneak peek from “Avengers Annual” #1, as published by Looper, Thanos sets out on a quest to locate the Infinity Stones before they unite and challenge him. Contrary to the Thanos we know from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who seeks balance through The Snap, or the classic comic book version that aims to court Death, this portrayal of the Mad Titan seems to be guided by a sense of obligation that may ultimately benefit the universe, though it could also serve his own interests.
In this depiction, the armor worn by the Mad Titan appears to be influenced by his costume in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), rather than his traditional comic book outfit of bright blue and yellow. While his MCU attire is widely recognized as his iconic look for many people, it’s a departure from what we’re accustomed to in the comics.
In a different part of the universe, it’s been confirmed that the infamous Death Stone has taken up residence within Agent Phil Coulson, who met his unfortunate end inside the Pandemonium Cube during his brief but chilling tenure as a supervillain under Mephisto’s employ. The sneak peek hints at no hard feelings between Coulson, Thor, Nick Fury, and Captain Marvel, despite his villainous past. Yet, given his previous transformation, it’s crucial that our heroes stay vigilant when it comes to keeping tabs on him.
In other locations, tension is building among the Stone Bearers, as Star, Quantum, and the rest of the hosts can’t seem to agree, causing constant arguments before Thanos arrives. Take a look at the following images for a sneak peek into the chaos that will unfold in “Avengers Annual” #1.
Will Thanos team up with The Avengers?
From the sneak peeks of “Avengers Annual” #1, it seems that Thanos is no longer fixated on courting Death’s love, despite his ultimate goal being the control of their newly created Infinity Stone. Instead, he now has a renewed mission to protect the Marvel Universe. The potential alliance between the Stone Bearers could ignite a dangerous situation, which may bring about chaos for all involved.
The cover of “Avengers Annual” #1 hints at a potential alliance between Thanos and the Avengers, which could make for an intriguing plot given their tumultuous relationship. It’s uncertain if these age-old enemies will team up, as implied by the artwork, but the contentious behavior of the Stone Bearers indicates trouble ahead, regardless of whether these longtime foes can bury their hatchets. Will events force Thanos and Earth’s strongest heroes to unite? A more vital question is whether they can set aside their past for the common good. These queries will be addressed in the upcoming issues.
On September 25, the first issue of “Avengers Annual,” written by Derek Landy, Salvador Larroca, Guru eFX, Cory Petit, Kat Walkington, Kaeden McGahey, Nick Low, and C.B. Cebulski, along with Ron Lim, Israel Silva, Mike McKone, Dean White, Ryan Meinerding, R.B. Silva, and Pete Woods, will be accessible both online and in physical stores.
