I think an easy way to look at Thanos stories is that anything written by Jim Starlin, Ron Marz and Keith Giffen is the real Thanos while anything written by other authors should be dismissed as a Thanosi clone.
Being self-contained was a double edged sword. On one hand it didn't get into the crossover event rabbit hole. On the other hand, it led the run to be overlooked/ignored by many since it happened during a period where most Marvel characters were overshadowed by the X-Men and didn't get much exposure outside of comics.

On a more positive note Aaron Kuder drawing Thor should be interesting to see. His art on Action Comics with Greg Pak was the saving grace of that run with bold character designs and kinetic action sequences. Kuder's style should work well on Thor even if it he is working on another 'Is Thor worthy of Mjolnir?' story arc.
You guys need to relax, I'm pretty sure this won't have anything to do with being unworthy, there will be something entirely different at play, we just got years worth of an unworthy storyline, Cates won't go there again, especially not so soon, you can relax.
Jason Aaron strikes again and ruins yet another character with one of his trademark retcons that make no sense, the new victim is Tony Stark.
He really is a cancer, dude needs to be fired and not let anywhere near comic books any time soon.
Sad part is, the Avengers issue was actually good and entertaining, so it does show that he has talent to write interesting stuff, what I don't get is his constant need to butcher continuity in order to tell his stories.
Just read through Carol Danvers beating the crap out of Thor in her own book, because she can blast Mjolnir so far away it can’t get back to him in time.
WTF? I just saw him throw it thorough all ten realms and hit a moving target on Earth while he was standing in Asgard. But Danvers can just push it out of reach.
Utterly ridiculous. Oh, and now that Thor has Hercules level dumbness (according to Kelly Thomson) he can’t figure out his lightning is powering her up through the fight.
Gawd help us.

If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

No, it’s crap. I call crap.
Thor realises VERY early in the fight it’s Carol. They battle across the planet for hours with her mask off. Apparently without any other Avenger noticing or getting involved.
Then she blasts Mjolnir out of his hand. Carols blasts now hit harder than the Hulk it seems. Remember when Thor had one hand on the hammer and Hulk had two and still couldn’t pry it loose? I sure do.
Then she one shots him. The guy who can survive INSIDE THE SUN gets one shotted.
But girl power, so whatever.

Energy he gave her knowing that’s what she does.
But for an explanation you only have to look at how KT writes him two issues later.
“They only cloned Thor’s head? What happened to my beautiful and majestic body?”
Translation - “Me am Thor am bid dum male, ug.”
Not to mention he rages about being cloned while the last two people who used a Thor clone are standing right there.
