In order to take vengeance on Thanos, Castle made a deal with Mephisto, which is always a smart and good thing to do. After he made short work of Earth, Frank Castle was one of many to be sent straight to Hell (guitar riff). On Earth-TRN666 (yep), Thanos conquered the universe.

This is all to say that while there might not be a ton of substance, this omnibus is a heck of a lot of fun to read, and the adventures collected here take us all the way through the Marvel Universe and back again.Ĭollects: Thanos (2016) #13-18, Thanos Annual (2018) #1, Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #1-5, Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History (2019) #1-6, Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) #1-6, Avengers (2018) #22-25, Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider (2019) #1-5 material from Thanos Legacy (2018) #1, Wolverine: Black, White & Blood (2020) #3 Thanos #15, written by Donny Cates, art by Geoff Shaw and Antonio Fabela, lettering by Clayton Cowles Thanos (Pretty Much Never) Wins The character likewise bears more than a passing resemblance to Deadpool or Harley Quinn, cracking wise while put into one impossible situation after another. Even as we see new creators bring new takes on the character, these stories by their very nature are filled to overflow with theatrical fights, absurd comedy, cosmic threats, and, one imagines, lots of guitar solos.Ĭosmic Ghost Rider is said to have taken cues from DC’s Lobo: a spacefaring agent of chaos, chomping cigars and traveling through the stars on a space motorcycle. Much of the work brought to us by the creative team behind Cosmic Ghost Rider, Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw, fits in the last category, and nowhere is that more true than this omnibus.

Sometimes comics are poetic, sometimes they’re an action-filled romp, and yet other times comics can be the reading equivalent of listening to a particularly epic/absurd metal album. Thanos #15, written by Donny Cates, art by Geoff Shaw and Antonio Fabela, lettering by Clayton Cowles
