Jace breaks down the final issue of the epic cosmic story that introduced the Marvel Universe to Thanos. Jim Starlin wraps up the story with Captain Marvel victorious, but not in the way you might think. Also why does Captain Marvel mourn even though he won the battle? Jace also talks about the level of respect Captain Marvel gained and how he grew throughout this initial story by Starlin. The art by Starlin is also classic and bombastic with the flair for detail that has become synonymous with the artist over the years. How might this tremendous work look with today's production values? We can only speculate. Thanos, as you might expect won't stay vanquished for long and we will continue with the reading order soon as we find out just how Thanos will return!

Jace continues his examination of the first cosmos spanning Thanos story from legendary creator Jim Starlin.  Today's episode breakdown Avengers #125 as the fleet Thanos sent to Earth is about to attack and only the Avengers stand between them and the earth downfall. This is the penultimate issue of the story Starlin has been crafting since Iron Man #55, but we have the incredible Steve Englehart writing this one. Why does Thanos refuse to help his fleet when they are confronted by Earth's Mightiest Heroes? What scheme is Thanos up to now? How will it impact his godhood going forward? Will this choice lead to a victory for the Avengers and Captain Marvel or will Thanos's plans finally bear fruit? Great bronze age epic & heroic storytelling from Englehart as he sets up the finale from Starlin in Captain Marvel #33

Also this issue has classic John Buscema & Dave Cockrum art and an incredibly striking cover.
