Prepare for a journey that will not only change the course of one boy’s life…but will soon change the very nature of the Marvel Universe. What comes after “Marvel NOW!”?

I believe that this story has already been invalidated, dismissed, and retroconned, so thanks Marvel for not having any idea what you’re doing with your comic books!
That being said, this is a great book, if a bit predictive around the middle part. Great art and the story flows well enough that I can recommend it to anyone interested in reading a story about how Thanos came to be the Mad Titan, just read it with the knowledge that this is already not the official story anymore even though it only came out in 2013.
