X-Men Gold – Back To The Basics | Comics

Long before Professor Xavier started training his mutant students, X-Men were always feared by humans unlike other heroes from teams like The Avengers or Fantastic Four. With their recent war with The Inhumans, that phobia has returned again to cause mass hysteria.

Forming a new team with Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, Rachel Grey as Prestige and Storm, Kitty Pryde leads X-Men as their current leader to stop an attack from Terrax the Tamer. Rachel was hoping for an Avenger or Champion member to show up but Logan asks for their leader's instruction.

It took all of their effort just to defeat Terrax and considerable amount of property damage. Upon defeating him with some solid team-work, Kitty talks to civilians present at scene about earning their trust back again and develop a positive image for their race but no one is ready to listen to them.

Back at home, On top of that, they received an invoice from New York's City Register for a lease on Central Park, where Xavier Institute is currently situated. Ororo and Kurt argue about whether situation has improved for them or not, while Rachel practices in Danger Room alongside Armor and Rockslide.

Piotr was asking Katya if she is up for having dinner together but she points out how noting is as simple as that between them. Their little talk is suddenly interrupted when the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attacks the city and they had to run.

At United Nations building, X-Men confronts newest Brotherhood members Avalanche, Cleevus, Magma, Masque and Pyro. Logan is badly burnt by former ally Magma, as they tried to talk her out and then quickly taken away by Kurt to safety, where they both stumbled onto one of their old enemies; mutant hypnotist Mesmero.

He sends Kurt away using his regained power and took Logan to his secret hideout. Rest of the team was defeated by remaining X-Men members but all Brotherhood members fled to avoid arrest. Director Lydia Nance of Heritage Initiative was already commenting about a Human/Mutant race war on public media and then mayor of New York gets kidnapped by the Brotherhood.

There is a large hidden agenda at play that X-Men later discovers and takes care of. Meanwhile, a mercenary is hunting down mutants in New York City with a deeply-rooted personal vendetta. Elsewhere, mutant thief and occasional X-Men member Gambit took a job to steal a secret nanotech from a secret lab for an anonymous buyer.

Upon learning Olivia Trask has hired him and it was a swarm of self-replicating nanites, he chooses not to deliver. Which eventually caused a stir among two parties and accidentally the nanites became a self-aware Sentinel by merging itself with nearby available computer systems. It quickly overpowers Gambit, then upgraded itself by evolving and engaged all other heroes to create a city-wide havoc.

Thanos – Thanos Returns | Comics

On Outer Rim of space, Black Quadrant used to be ruthlessly ruled by The Mad Titan, Thanos and members of his followers in Black Order. Now, that they all lack a master to follow in Thanos' absence, his former servant Corvus Glaive have taken control over this quadrant and claimed throne that he once served and belonged to his dreaded master.

Many have bowed to him and Black Order has grown under his new command, until the day of reckoning finally came at his doorstep in form of a great tyrant.

The Mad Titan has finally returned to his domain of Black Quadrant to claim back his rightful throne and as he was opposed by many foot soldiers and mercenaries, he only left death and destruction on his path behind. He most definitely was not happy to seeing his former devotee has betrayed him while he was away.

When Thanos confronts his former servant Corvus Glaive, the latter took a futile last stand against his powerful master. Pitying at his pathetic nature, Thanos gives Glaive options of either killing himself or be painfully killed by his master's hand.

Meanwhile, the self proclaimed Champion of the Universe, Tryco Slatterus visits an undisclosed space station to recruit Thanos' enigmatic brother Eros, who is also known as Starfox on behalf of his Inhuman nephew Thane. Back at Black Quadrant, Corvus Glaive meets his fate and then Thanos finally sits on his throne.

At the moon of Titan, Lady Death silently approaches Thane, who appears to be her new lover. She reveals that his god-like father is already dying, so it will not be hard to kill him. Tryco and Starfox then recruit Nebula, alleged granddaughter of The Mad Titan for their noble cause.

Looking for a means to save his own life, Thanos visits Nulla of Centron System but wipes out their entire Nullan populace when they failed to cure him. Then he approached his Titan father A'Lars AKA Mentor for help to a research facility of Shi'ar Galaxy on moon of Gilgrath.

Despite his total unwillingness to help save his son, Mentor reluctantly obliged when his son threatened to slaughter everyone else on that moon. When this one eventually leads to another dead end for him, Thanos finds himself up against Shi'ar Imperial Guard.

Though he might be weaker than his usual self but Thanos still packs some serious punches and gave the entire fleet of Imperial Guard quite a tough time. When they all fall before the ruthlessness of The Mad Titan, Majestor Gladiator of Shi'ar Empire himself comes to see the case personally.

Even if Thanos of Titan manages to withstand them all, can he finally hold himself up against his own son and his newly assembled gang? And what secret Thane is not telling rest of his teammates before they prepare to meet a former herald of GalactusTerrax the Tamer?

Death Becomes His Son

The arc titled "Thanos Returns" contains issues #01-06 of the second monthly ongoing comics series of Thanos from Marvel Comics in 2017. This is a brand-new take at Thanos's character that is something we have seen before and the aftermath of this story will lead to the next one, which is even more spectacular as the universe is possibly getting another new threat to tackle for survival.

The story definitely doesn't end with The Mad Titan being dead but he is set into a new quest on the following arc "The God Quarry".

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective | Comics

In an undisclosed location, Drax the Destroyer was accompanying his friends in the Guardians of the Galaxy to fight a coven of aliens to stop them from detonating a dirty bomb powered by magic. Led by Kitty Pryde, the new Star-Lord of the team, fellow Guardians members Groot, Rocket Raccoon, The Thing and Venom were fighting against the oncoming enemy horde. As always, Drax's ruthless efficiency has earned them an easy victory in the end and they decide to part ways for now to celebrate on their own.

When he wished to tag along, Kitty mentions that she is going out for some girl-stuff and Groot was going to disarm the bomb with Rocket. The duo of The Thing and Venom heads for a pub in Alpha Centauri, leaving him saying there is no more room. So, Drax decides to pursue his life's mission of killing Thanos and Rocket lends him his rusty space worthy vehicle Space Sucker! However, the ship's system failed and he is forced to crash land in an unnamed moon and then walked for long in search for a mechanic.

He came across Ora's bar after walking miles only to meet and greeted by Terrax the Tamer there. Angry and frustrated over the matters he has been enduring for past few days, Drax decides to take his temper out on the former herald of Galactus for now. Surprisingly enough, Terrax is not here to fight and offers to buy him a drink. Though he is not much of a talker himself, he listens as his host describes how he was previously obliterated into nothingness and then found himself alive again.

As Drax was looking for a mechanic to repair his broken ship, the barkeep Ora takes him to her workshop and offers to fix his vehicle if he helps to catch a thief who has been stealing from her. He was looking for Terrax to help him catch the thieves and when they meet outside, Drax engaged in a fight against a band of slavers on street and Terrax joined in. Ora took out the last one while Drax unsuccessfully chases the goons to stop them from getting away. He realizes that he was actually roped in to rescue children from those kidnappers.

In the middle of these chaos and confusion, someone stole the Axe of Terrax the Tamer. Unable to get him up at his feet, Drax leaves a grieving Terrax behind while investigating scrap-metal thieves, also the reason behind a massive disappearance of people. He sees a couple of raiders plucking up pieces of his ship and gives a chase. One of the raiders led him to their secret hideout, where trying to free the tortured people, he is taken down. Eventually he finds himself in an arena against The Serpent AKA Fin Fang Foom.

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective

Considered as the tattooed muscle-head for Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax is rarely left alone to pursue solo adventures. So, writer CM Punk and Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Vs. Carnage) came up with a plot for Drax the Destroyer to send him on his life's mission that storyline is illustrated by artist Scott Hepburn for Marvel in 2016. Current members from The Guardians showed up in the story at the very beginning and Drax gets to tag along with a former heralds of Galactus; Terrax the Tamer for a very unusual team-up experience, who was thought to be killed off by Phoenix during Avengers/X-Men War.

With the revolution of live-action film franchise in recent years, Marvel is re-inventing their various popular characters by putting them on solo adventures in their own monthly series for a while to see how it goes. Also, bringing a legendary figure like Fin Fang Foom into this story for something that is very personal to him was also something that felt fresh. This storyline collects issues #01-05 from the first ongoing volume of Drax limited series and is then continued in the next arc titled "The Children's Crusade".
