Thanos Rising #1

Thanos Rising #1 was very interesting.  It starts with Thanos returning to the moon Titan where he was born.  He is there to visit his mother’s grave and to remember his own past.  This is a past that we get to see for ourselves.  We get to see his birth and eventual rejection by his mother Sui-San. Thanos is a funny looking child for an Eternal they even call him a mutant and it does not faze him.  He even makes friends at school and eventually finds a girl whom likes him.  The girl encourages Thanos to seek revenge on the creatures (they look like iguanas) that ate his friends after those friends were trapped in a cave-in.  I was reluctant to buy this comic as I feared it would just be Thanos silliness but instead this first issue is rather laidback and deliberate in the telling of Thoanos’s early life.  I will try to keep up with future issues.
