Infinity Quest! Finally!, October 26, 2007
This review is from: Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos (Fantastic Four) (Paperback)
The infinity gauntlet is one of the best series ever written, and this FINALLY collects Thanos:Infinity Quest. A series i could never find way back in the day when "gauntlet" was coming out. The 1st half of the book is the resurrection of Thanos and his meeting and outwitting of the surfer. Good stuff. The story of how Thanos obtained the gems is where the real meat is though. He shows his usual ruthlessness and also shows some introspectiveness, and a glimmer of remorse over the vanquishing of a particular foe. There is also a reprint of some ancient logans run comic that shows just how far back Drax and Thanos rivalry spans. If your reading this you probably find Thanos a pretty fascinating character like i do, and this story shows him at his best. A must buy for Thanos fans.

not the best SS, but pretty good, January 14, 2007
This review is from: Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos (Fantastic Four) (Paperback)
This run should have been called SS guest starring Starlins creations. When Jim Starlin took over he brought a great deal of excitement with him, he also brought the world of Thanos that he created many years ago in Captain Marvel & Iron Man. I am not complaining, i have always been a fan of Thanos, Drax, Mentor & friends. I also enjoyed the addittion of Impossible Man in this collection. Ron Lim is one of the more under rated artist, I wish he would get his own series, maybe the new Nova.
The only fault I find in this collection is Starlin tended to minimize the SS in terms of power, he comes on as greatly inferior to Thanos. We all tend to forget his original appearences, the SS represented an Angel of Death ( while Galactus represented God himself ). In defense of starlin most people seem to have forgotten what Kirby meant with the creation of this Iconic Charecter screaming for his own book ( not a mini )

Finally this is collected in a trade!!, April 7, 2006
This review is from: Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos (Fantastic Four) (Paperback)
The silver Surfer issues collected in this trade were some of the first comics I ever read.
And some of the BEST I have ever read.
Some writers cannot get the aspect of cosmic comics done right.
But Starlin is clearly the right guy for the job.
The art and writing are perfect in this book!
A true GEM for true fans of the Silver Surfer and Thanos alike!
You cannot get a better point of view into Thanos mind than these issues. which is also a good trade to have next to your Starlin Thanos Volume 1 trade
