Boy Marvel has been kicking out some great stories starring some of Marvel’s greatest villains.\u00a0 I mean you have the Age of Ultron story that is causing chaos and now we have Thanos Rising.\u00a0 What I love about the Thanos Rising story is that it is an origin story like none other before.\u00a0 We actually get to see what makes Thanos become the killing machine that we all love to hate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanos Rising #1 told a story of how a boy was born on Titan.\u00a0 But this boy was considered special by all, well except his mother.\u00a0 His mother tried to kill him because she felt he was a monster.\u00a0 This landed her in an asylum and made this boy grow up without the compassion of his mother.\u00a0 This boy is named Thanos.\u00a0 Thanos is a mystery\u00a0 to all but more importantly, he is a mystery to himself.\u00a0 It is his curiosity that lands him in a cave full of carnivorous reptiles.\u00a0 These reptile attacked his friends, well all of them but one.\u00a0 A strange girl who Thanos considers a friend, but she is more like an evil temptress pushing him to his dark side. It is this push that makes him kill an entire species of cave lizards in issue #1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In issue #2, we find an older and wiser Thanos bored with his studies and what his world calls as science.\u00a0 He is still looking to find his inner self.\u00a0 Until he gets that satisfaction, he will always hunger for that knowledge.\u00a0 This friend I mentioned earlier keeps pushing him in directions that no man should tread, but of course Thanos is no man who Titan has ever seen. What makes Thanos tick?\u00a0 What creates this blood thirst he has?\u00a0 Who is his next victim?\u00a0 I could answer these questions and so much more but I do not want to ruin the story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The writing of Jason Aaron is just brilliant!\u00a0 The artwork of Simone Bianchi is dark enough to get the point across and follows along with the mood of the story.\u00a0 I give this series a strong\u00a0 8 out of 10 rating,\u00a0 I personally cannot wait to see what Thanos discovers about himself next.<\/strong><\/p>\n
