Thanos: Redemption

Jim Starlin returned to Marvel for this 2013 one-shot, reuniting with his cosmic creation in a self-contained story that bridges the gap between Thanos Annual #1 and the Infinity event. Written and drawn entirely by Starlin, Thanos: Redemption offers a character-focused meditation on the Mad Titan's quest for purpose, exploring his uneasy alliance with the cosmic entity Mistress Death. It stands as a key chapter in Starlin's long-running Thanos saga, delivering the dense, philosophical space opera that defined his era at Marvel.
