Starlin's return to the Marvel playpen feels a little like an attempt to placate the guy who created some really valuable characters and plotlines (in movie terms) by indulging him with a few comics. The fact that Starlin may actually own Thanos may have something to do with it...

Now I loved practically everything he wrote between 1970 and 1999, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that his style feels horribly dated now. Under his pen, Warlock and Thanos come across like Waldorf and Statler on the muppets - fondly going over old disagreements with each other and anyone else who crosses their path because it's all they have.
