Thanos Rising #1 Or…Why the Colorist Counts!

Much more than your typical bildungsroman set among the stars. Aaron and company deliver a story that lays the groundwork for possibly the greatest Saga the Marvel Universe has ever told. This is where it all begins; the birth of Thanos is met not with alarum but with despair. A mutant among the denizens of The Eternal’s underground city, it is all to clear right from the start that Thanos’ path in life can only be one of disorder, destruction and death.Ever since the end of last summers Avengers big screen debut, everyone has been talking about Thanos, The Mad Titian and now the time has arrived to explore this enigma of the Marvel Cosmic Universe with the release of Thanos Rising #1 now on comiXology. Of course long-time Marvel fans could tell you Thanos is not to be messed with. From his courtship with death among the stars in the original Infinity Gauntlet, to his re-emergence in the Cancer-verse in The Thanos Imperitive, the purple skinned terror is just about as bad as it gets but that didn’t stop the stellar of Jason Aaron, Simone Bianchi and Simone Peruzzi from exposing his long lost secrets to the readers of today in Thanos Rising #1.

With such a fantastic array of Talent attached to this title, it’s no secret Marvel has pulled out all the stops on this one. Long time Wolverine fan-favorite scribe Jason Aaron impresses when paired with artist Simone Biachi; fans of the duo’s previous work together already know this. However long-time fans and newcomers alike are in for a real treat thanks to Cover artist turned colorist Simone Peruzzi. All too often colorist and left in the corner when it comes to opening credits and other sundry, but here Peruzzi makes his presence known while talking his first foray into the interiors of a book set in The Marvel Cosmic Universe. The end result of which, are pages that pop in print, and absolutely sing in digital; especially in CMX-HD.

On paper, having a main character whose skin in purple seems put one ingredient in a recipe for utter disaster. However among the capable palette of Peruzzi Thanos have never looked better.  Leave the purple dinosaur jokes at the door – while the life and times of Thanos of Titan could hardly be considered a laughing matter, one thing’s for certain; the creative team on Thanos Rising has packed the book with as much detail as there is story and comics fans won’t be putting this book down anytime soon.

For The Love Of Loeb Don’t Miss These Comic Books

It started out as a retrospective look at one of Marvel’s most popular characters from one the industry’s most celebrated creative teams.  Daredevil: Yellow brought together Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale for a one of a kind comic book about Marvel’s Man Without Fear that wound up changing the way people look at superheroes. In the wake of prized fighter Battlin’ Jack Murdock’s murder, a new hero emerges from the depth’s of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. It’s an origin story comics fans have heard before, but never like this. Compelling, visceral and as much a work of High Art as it is a masterpiece of modern comic storytelling Daredevil: Yellow was but the first of phenomenal works to come.

When Jeph Loeb teamed up with Tim Sale one year later for a cerebral look inside the life of Peter Parker for the acclaimed Spider-Man: Blue mini-series, the pair didn’t just re-tell the same origin story, they explored the world of a fledgling hero faced with his darkest hour. But they didn’t stop there…

Then came HULK: Grey and once again Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale joined forces; this time tackling the formative years of Marvel’s very own not-so jolly green giant, only to make him grey in the phenomenal HULK: Grey limited series. This introspective look at the man behind the monster is both moving and sincere. It not only leaves readers wanting more but also delivers the perfect jumping on point for anyone looking for more than just the words “Hulk Smash!”

Today Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, Hulk: Grey and more of the generations-spanning work of Jeph Loeb is on sale for half-price on comiXology. Do yourself a favor and pick up these groundbreaking works at an incredible price. Read them for yourself or even gift them to a friend, either way you can’t loose…Think of it as your chance to score some reading material while you wait for more news on Captain America: White
