Thanos is back. The most powerful and terrifying supervillain in Marvel Comics is out for blood — and the Illuminati. Specifically, the Illuminati that consists of Marvel’s strongest and most mysterious heroes, working under the radar of the bolder and brighter likes of the Avengers. The Illuminati has taken something from Thanos, and the Mad Titan will do anything to get it back. The problem is that something is someone — and that someone has no idea who she really is.Written by Christopher Cantwell, illustrated by Luca Pizzari, colored by Ruth Redmond, and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit, Thanos #1 marks the return of the most terrifying Eternal in the Marvel Universe–and kicks off a new chapter in one very important character’s grand journey, whether the Illuminati want it or not!Marvel issues are known for their witty dialogue, clever plots, and distinct brand of snark, all of which have come to define modern Marvel across various media. This has worked for and against some issues, depending on the story’s gravity. In the case of Thanos #1, the sarcastic edge writer Cantwell employs is something of a distraction, at times overwhelming his otherwise strong yet subtle sense of storytelling, especially through the silent actions of the characters. The issue’s opening sequence is dominated by an interior monologue via the character Roberta Marshall. While the topic she describes is poignant and does foreshadow some of the events to unfold not only in this issue but in this series overall, it’s tonally uncomfortable and ironic. It detracts from the already compelling visual narrative going on in the background. This continues throughout this issue as if Cantwell is afraid to allow the silence and the panels to speak for themselves without Roberta’s monologue. While this is an unfortunate drawback, it doesn’t kill the narrative, especially not during the climax, when the majority of the cast enters center stage, giving Roberta more characters to bounce off with and dialogue put forward.RELATED: Every X-Men Comic Currently Running (& Their Most Recent Issue)
