      I watch a few other comic-related channels too but Omar literally is the best, he does the best & most comprehensive work as a fan/collector & as a vehicle for amplifying our voices as fans. The fact that he gets exclusives on upcoming releases shows both sides (fans & Marvel sales dept) truly know he has a gift!

I had forgotten when Death brought Big T back to the land of the living he was even more powerful than he was way back when when he was holding off Thor and the Thing (at the same time) in hand to hand.

    Difficult work, going through all of this & putting it in the right order 😲 I started the Cosmic/Thanos arc with the "Avengers vs. Thanos" collection & Guardians of the Galaxy Solo Classic Omnibus. I'm glad you put _Cosmic Powers_ in here, too, I just found a remaindered copy on clearance for $10 at one of my LCS!
    I organize my bookcases alphabetically by title/team/character & sub-organized chronologically, so reading certain things in order can be a challenge, thank you for this.
    Edit: Oh man, that Silver Surfer EC has some intense moments! I missed out on those tie-ins for years before buying it & MAN was I hooked 😄

      - Are you sure that something from the ORIGINS-Book is reprinted with GotG? There're no GotG in it.
      - in THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL is influenced by the death of Starlin's father
      - That's actually Nebula's original look. The one we're used to, esp. since the Movies, came later.
      - Warlock didn't have to get rid of his good & evil. It was a choice. He thought that by doing this his decisions would necessarily be neutral & just.
      - Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection is actually the continuation of SILVER SURFER: HOMECOMING. The reference the events of that GN. I'm surprised that it's not in there.
      - The one in THOR isn't actually Thanos. Not anymore anyway. Starlin came back to retcon this & others (like KA-ZAR and so on). Thanos is basically Starlin's Main Focus. Even in CAPTAIN MARVEL & the WARLOCK-Books. After IG he wasn't really a villain anymore. He certainly wasn't fixated on Death anymore. For example see the IW-Tie-ins from MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS (I, THANOS - actually the 1st time Death spoke to him). In THOR he was back to his old ways. Without any explanation or motivation. I guess Starlin was pissed & did INFINITY ABYSS. After that, in THANOS 1 - 6 he presented the redemption with without any subtlety so no one would make those mistakes again. Personally, I think that most writers didn't get Thanos. Marz (but some people refer to him as Ron Starlin Jr.) and DnA are the exceptions. Well, Giffen was alright too. But the rest, not so much. It's like I'm reading about a different character. IA isn't very good. As much as I agree with Starlin retconning stuff like THOR his agenda is way to obvious. Makes it a little ham-fisted.
      - THE END: Starlin claims that he wasn't clear on the concept. He conceived it within the regular continuity. It shows later on because it's referenced in THANOS 1 - 6. Personally, I think he might've ignored the concept. Just a little bit. Officially it's out of continuity. Personally I read as continuity because that's how Starlin wrote it. Also, there's really nothing in it that contradicts continuity at that time. It's Starlin going back to his lust for philosophy. It's a tough read at times. But I prefer it over IA.
      - Starlin left Marvel because of some argument after THANOS 6. Not the 1st time, not the last time. ;-)
      - Do you know JIM STARLIN: A LIFE IN WORDS AND PICTURES?

      @@NearMintCondition I know, I just really disliked it as a departure from all the work Starlin had been doing...and deadshot/terminator Star Lord is just a terrible flavor that seems inconsistent with all the previous Star Lord material and everything that follows. That's just how I feel about it. I would love to see al the Starlin material collected into another Omnibus or two with only what non-starlin work is needed for context. I think it could look like a Starlin's Infinity Watch Omnibus (with Silver Surfer/Warlock resurrection in it and the Blood and Thunder material if there is room, then collect the rest with Abyss, The End, and Thanos 1-6 as an Infinity Fragments Omnibus...with maybe Silver Surfer Homecoming thrown in for fun).
