Rebirth of Thanos (34-38). This is a nice setup for Thanos' return to the Marvel Universe that has an appropriately cosmic feel and does a good job of reintroducing a few of the major players. It bounces between epic and humor, and I found that awkward on the first read, but after I returned to it a second time I enjoyed it more, except for the ever-annoying use of the Impossible Man in the middle issue [7/10]. 
 Thaons Quest (1-2). These two special events do a great job of highlighting the Elders (and the In-Betweener) and introducing the Infinity Gems and the art on them is exquisite. However the quest itself is somewhat plodding [6/10].
