@IM53... I bow down to your speed.
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 6/12/2012, 1:53 PM
@JonathaNisMagnuM I've seen The Avengers six times already,and everytime Thanos shows his face and smiles onscreen,I smile and I walk out of the theater with my chest pumped out.The ultimate geek moment even if he is just onscreen for only a few seconds.The ultimate villain and I can't wait to see him unleashed!

AlexDeLarge87 - 6/12/2012, 1:55 PM
His name was Thanos... And death followed him. :)
ThaMessenger07 - 6/12/2012, 1:58 PM
That's quite Awesome....




beane2099 - 6/12/2012, 1:58 PM
Uhm so are these just reprints of The Infinity Gauntlet with snazzy new covers? Cause that sounds like the same story. Am I wrong here? Did I miss something in the fine print?
Hudson3D - 6/12/2012, 2:01 PM
@IM53. .Ha haaaaaaa... love it! Thanks brother!!
You are da man!!!
Hudson3D - 6/12/2012, 2:01 PM
Hows it going Durf?
LAXtremest - 6/12/2012, 2:10 PM
Where's the concept art?
Hudson3D - 6/12/2012, 2:11 PM
@Durf.. Very well thank you. I'm just deciding if I should go and watch a film on the TV or post some porn on here.

Not seen Teabag in a couple of days.
Supes17 - 6/12/2012, 2:12 PM
I thought LOKI is the most talked about Villain...
Hudson3D - 6/12/2012, 2:19 PM
@Durf.. Oh I didn't know he was getting married but I haven't really been here talking to you all for very long.

I'm gonna go and watch a film and chill out.

IM53.... Durf..... See you later bro's...
macfint - 6/12/2012, 2:19 PM
THANOS IS IN THE AVENGERS?????!!! f*k u a-holes for spoili, sorry. Looks sick. Marvel rules. Redemption for FF, Daredevil, 1st Ghostrider, all Xmen except 1st class. ALL Punishers, Elektra???? Wolverine?? that sh*t was gay. Read Havok and Wolverine,"Meltdown". Thats Wolvie, a goddam mutant. Not some tall, good looking dude with hair that he has done every morning. Maybe there was a Mutant with hairstyling powers. U suck
dahamma - 6/12/2012, 2:20 PM
Dude that is so sick!!! I hope his finally look looks close to this!
JMESS - 6/12/2012, 2:26 PM
bring it !
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/12/2012, 2:36 PM
There was no infatuation between the two. He was obsessed with her, but Death never loved him. She aided in his downfall. And Thanos is a sadistic moron. Yeah, I said it. I have to agree with another poster when they said:

"Uhm so are these just reprints of The Infinity Gauntlet with snazzy new covers? Cause that sounds like the same story. Am I wrong here? Did I miss something in the fine print?"

Been there, done that. WHY ARE WE RECYCLING AN OLD STORY?!?!? When I got to the end of the last Avengers Assemble, my only reaction was "WHAT????" How can he even be back? It makes no sense.
DrStrangeFan - 6/12/2012, 2:37 PM
Thanos will own everything
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/12/2012, 2:38 PM
And by sadistic moron, I mean he is like Jafar in Aladdin. He got the power only to have it taken away by his own stupidity. That does NOT equal BADASS IMO!!
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 6/12/2012, 2:44 PM
I wish Marvel would bring Captain Marvel back from the dead.I hated they killed him off.Such a badass character.And I agree he should be in a future Marvel movie.
SageMode - 6/12/2012, 3:09 PM
Now THAT is what you call Comic Book EPICNESS right there. Badass incarnate is what THANOS is, the villain that conquered the Universe twice. MAKE it MARVEL.
vtopa - 6/12/2012, 3:17 PM
I think that Thanos is NOT going to be the bad guy in the next Avengers movie. I think that he will be the bad guy in a FUTURE film that brings together a variety of Marvel TEAMS. So, there will be a few Guardians of the Galaxy Flicks, another Avenger's flick and then a monstrous cross-over where the Guardians (and Nova and Quasar) plus the Avengers plus the Inhumans take on Thanos in a two part epic that will dwarf ALL PREVIOUS FILMS.
CPBuff22 - 6/12/2012, 3:18 PM
The saga that is the Thaos & Adam Warlock story is pure epic.
Nightmare7 - 6/12/2012, 3:19 PM
So Much frickin win!Marvel is the shiiznit!and @MARVELPSYCHO79 yur right Captain Marvel was A Great Character why haven't they brought him back?
ALmighty1080 - 6/12/2012, 3:39 PM
looks like Darkseid
thewonderer - 6/12/2012, 3:47 PM
I'm surprised no one here has speculated how in the hell they're going to defeat Thanos in the movies without making it seem like a cop out.

How exactly is he defeated in the comics?
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/12/2012, 3:59 PM
Intruder - I was speaking strictly Infinity Gauntlet.

TheWonderer - It's pretty complicated. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Infinity_Gauntlet

Right back atcha bro

Apocalypse is very powerful, but he couldn't hold a torch against Thanos. That fight would last about 5mins (and 4:50 mins of that would be Thanos toy around with Apocalypse).
DanteSparda - 6/12/2012, 4:09 PM
I came thrice...

Hope we see Thanos this way in Avengers 2.
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/12/2012, 4:10 PM
Vtopa - That is what I was thinking too. They have to go that route or it's just stupid and going to be very difficult to pull off.
morenfaster - 6/12/2012, 4:19 PM
Is this a reissue? Thanos Quest happened over 20 years ago.
dracula - 6/12/2012, 4:27 PM
For the first avengers they had
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Black Widow
Hawkeye
vs
Loki
Chitauri
dracula - 6/12/2012, 4:31 PM
For Avengers 2 they need
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Ant Man
Wasp
vs
Thanos
dracula - 6/12/2012, 4:33 PM
For Avengers 3 they need
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Ant Man
Wasp
Black Panther
Dr.Strange
vs
Ultron
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/12/2012, 4:46 PM
Dracula - Have you actually read the Infinity Gauntlet? Cause based on that list, you definitely haven't. Thanos wiped them all out with very minimal effort. If they don't introduce Adam Warlock and Dr. Strange (and the Silver Surfer, but we all know that ain't happening) and the cosmic beings like Galactus, the Stranger, Kronos, etc, then it is completely 100% pointless. There is no way they can do the Avengers vs Thanos in the Avengers 2 and if they did, it would be a disaster of EPIC proportions!
MadTitan - 6/12/2012, 4:47 PM
need i say more?...of course, awesome!!
mgeoff88 - 6/12/2012, 4:55 PM
That concept art is great. Thanos looks bad ass.
dracula - 6/12/2012, 5:00 PM
