The mad titan reigns supreme! He'll be playing a big role in The upcoming comics and movies, so i'll get a thread going now.
Any news on the whole Warlock ban and what that does to Starlin's advertised upcoming runs?

YES! Thanos and Nova avatars! Anyway, the only thing I've ever read with 616 Thanos is the original Annihilation event, but he kicks ass there and has totally taken the top spot on my list of "Greatest Villains Ever". He's just tons of fun to read.

Annihilation was a terrible portrayal of Thanos. Read Thanos Quest and The Inifinity Gauntlet.

There was a preview of the Infinity Revelation inside the GotG free comicbook day comic. Somewhat interesting. It wasn't really explained why Drax was swapping appearances.

Then my love for Thanos blossomed with Marvel Universe: The End. The Thanos Imperative is okay. I didnt care much for Infinity. Story-wise, I understand why we got the Thanos we did, but that wasn't the Thanos I fell in love with. The motivations were pretty similar, but with none of the complexities of his earlier portrayals. Originally Posted by Aroguetennant

As mentioned , the silver surfer/Green lantern crossover. Originally Posted by aquitaine

The crossover was actually canon in pre-nu52 continuity as it was mentioned by Parallax Hal in the parallax : emerald night one-shot during final night that he has been chasing Cyborg superman all across the universe and into another universe which happened in the crossover.
The ending of this crossover leads directly to the DC vs Marvel/Marvel vs DC crossover.
*note the corner of the pic , the friendly ring slinger at the time from the other company. Thanos keeps track of all things cosmic.

While Infinity was not that great and his characterisation also not perfect, it sure as hel gave him some awesome feats
Every time Thanos gets beaten by a Hulk/Thor-level being, my heart hurts (just like in Bendis' horrible run of Avengers Assemble)

If I recall right this happened in the green lantern silver surfer crossover. Originally Posted by aquitaine

Is drax without a purpose if he kills Thanos since this is what he was created for?
