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.
Know its off topic but how has Nova been in GotG? He's about the only reason I'd buy the book. I like a lot of the characters that're showing up there, but Nova is the guy who'd make it an instant purchase if he's getting treated right.
Just to make it more Thor related; did anyone enjoy Asgardians of the Galaxy? I've been thinking about grabbing the trade. There's no Thor in that, is there?

You guys need to relax, it's a freaking solicit, at least wait til the story is out to complain.
It's just that one second we are praising the last issue of Cates then the next second we're condemning him because of a solicit, if we keep up like that the Thor fandom is just going to be seen as toxic and no one will want to touch the character.
I get the wounds from Aaron are still too fresh, especially because he is still damning the character in Avengers, believe me I know, but we have to be a little more flexible with the current book and let it play out before judging it, especially from a solicit.
I expected nothing less from Ewing. That guy is legit one of my favorite writers. I'd kill to get him on Superman. Well I suppose I'll be getting the trade if Rich is treated well. Does he have a solid role, or is it more just cameo appearances?
And if Thunderstrike was the best thing about AotG it sounds like a book I might not want to bother with.....does no one have anything to say in its defense, or was it just not good?
As for that solicit, we've known something weird was going on with Mjolnir since issue 1. I'd rather get into it now, wrap it up, and get away from the "hammer's broken" concept as quickly as possible. But Cates has entertained me so far and given me the badass, capable Thor I missed so I'm not gonna decry this as a horrible story months before the issue even comes out.

I mean, I haven't read much of Cates' Thor to really praise him one way or another. All I have to go off of is that he's giving Thor feats, his personality still needs some work, and Thor has a better design now. But I just can't find myself enthused about what that solicit is talking about.
I think it's a book that relies on some familiarity with the characters involved but it's a solid team book overall.
I'm not so much assuming the quality of the storyline as just being entirely tired of the premise.As for that solicit, we've known something weird was going on with Mjolnir since issue 1.
