Marvel - The End #2 p15

Love this story. It, along with Hulk - The End, is the best of the "The End" series put out just before Disney purchased Marvel.

I also think it is the best of the Thanos stories, and serves as a successor to the Infinity Gauntlet saga. It also wraps up the entire Marvel saga to date. As such, I had to have a page from this iconic story.

In this story, Thanos achieves complete power and understanding of all workings of the universe. With this comes the understanding that the Universe is irreparably damaged. This damage was caused by Marvel's practice of reviving characters that have died, which goes beyond the Universe's inherent structure of death being permanent.

So Thanos has to save the Universe by rebuilding it. Who knew Thanos would be the greatest Savior in Marvel history? Lady Death appreciated his efforts and speaks to him for the first time, as well as giving him a kiss.
