With Thanos rumored to be appearing in both the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and the Avengers 2 movie, Marvel Comic has announced a new limited series featuring the character. The Thanos Rising limited series will be released in comic book stores starting in April.
Thanos Rising will be written by Jason Aaron with art by Simone Bianchi. The series will focus on the origins of the death-loving Thanos, providing a glimpse into Thanos’ early days on the planet Titan.
In describing Thanos Rising, writer Jason Aaron said, “This is not a super hero story. There are no good guys swooping in to save the day here. This is the origin story of a very bad dude. A cosmic mass murderer.”
When asked how the planet of Titan will look, Artist Simone Bianchi revealed, “Visually, I have tried to mix different inspirational sources for Titan, as I usually do. I loved what I saw in the “Tron” movie from a visual point of view, but then there is also some of the Castellini high-tech Mecha design of the 1990’s mixed with what I had done in my first run of Wolverine, especially for Wakanda.”
