Thanos by Donny Cates

In this 2019 Marvel one-shot, writer Donny Cates and artist Dylan Burnett deliver a standalone story that peels back a new layer of the Mad Titan’s psyche. Rather than a sprawling saga, this single issue offers a focused, character-driven glimpse into Thanos at a pivotal moment, showcasing the creative team’s sharp take on the cosmic villain. It’s a compact but potent entry in the character’s long Marvel history, demonstrating how even a single issue can expand the mythology of one of comics’ most formidable figures.
