    I hope Stark isn't going to infer that an american made cosmic cube is somehow more flawed or inferior to a non-american made one.

    Thank God that this awful story arc is finally being put out of its misery.

    Have to say, as much as I want to want to read this (big fan of Bagley), each time I see a preview, Bendis reminds me why he made me quit reading Avengers. Bad dialogues, stupid attempts at humor, inattention to details, hammered in story points and characterization, etc... I'm pretty sure Thor is about to get his ass whupped (again) in the next few panels, just so we can all see what a bad ass Thanos is. And Tony will still come up with a sollutions that nobbody will understand (probably because it'll never be explained) that will leave him all smug and jokey, while the rest serve as glorified wallpaper. Much like happened in his 8 year run in Avengers.
    Well, maybe by the time the TPB comes out, I'll have forgotten how unimpressed these previews left me and will only think: Oh, goody, Avengers and GotG with art by Bagley!
    One can only hope.

    Peace

    Not gonna lie, after that opening, when Thor gets wrecked by Cosmic Thanos I don't see many fans complaining.

    Bendis writes the most God-awful dialogue in comics...I really don't understand how he's lasted this long. I remember a few years ago there was a guy on X-Men, Chuck Austen who was so bad that he was literally ran off by the fans. WHY is he still writing? I can see him doing teen characters....but there's too many, "Heys" "Uhhmmm.." and really just puerile speech (and speechifying) to consider this stuff good. Also, why do I get the feeling we're seeing the script/outline for the Avengers 3?

    Perhaps Thanos should have gone German or Japanese. Maybe then he'd have a shot at conquering the universe. But we all know Thanos is always subconciously sabotaging himself. I guess you figuered the brilliant rabbit Tony is gonna pull out of his hat.

    Thanos got beat so bad he is gonna have nightmares about it.

    Two Hulks, the Thing, Thor, Ms. Marvel and nearly everybody else pretty much mugging the poor sap.

    Its not often you see the Avengers just dogpile somebody.
