    How could they possibly follow-up after the great reveal of Issue #3? Which obviously still has me reeling for some strange reason. After all, it shouldn’t had been that big of a surprise, given the ending of the Avengers Movie…

    That said, this issue had a very interesting battle between our now favorite Avenger team and Thanos. We see him continuing to use the poor “zodiac” lackeys to do his bidding - standard Thanos fare. Smug smiles and aloof attitude abound, as Thanos more than handles the Avengers…

    So, what are my overall thoughts on this issue? It was good. It wasn’t perfect - I mean the bit with Hulk and Thor’s Hammer - hmm… a bit of creative liberty there. I doubt Thanos has the ability to control someone, make them “worthy” and then use that worth to smash. Nice thought though, and maybe Hulk was just “guiding” it into Thor’s face? ;)

    This book ends with the Avengers in a bit of despair, realizing they are no match for a cosmic threat, let alone Thanos! It is true - Thanos manipulated the situation (as he always does), treating everyone “in the game” like pawns. The good news is, their hopelessness is abated by yet another big reveal - something this book is starting to rely on apparently. ;) Nah, it was good, another surprise - this time a set of cosmic visitors intent on helping Earth and its Mightiest Heroes.
