Not a big Thanos fan; in my opinion, Darkseid could eat him for breakfast and shit him out before lunch, but...

Great work, as usual, JB; nice angle & use of perspective.

For those who pay attention to such things -- there is a slight cheat in the perspective here. Viewed from the side, Thanos would be leaning slightly forward. This was necessary to avoid having his right boot growing out of his hip!

I discovered Thanos before Darkseid and the Marvel vs Thanos storyline was so unbelievably cool that it left a lasting impression to me (I think many others, like Matt Reed if I remember correctly).
Darkseid I first met during the Great Darkness Saga. I had even read Mongul vs Starman/Superman before knowing Darkseid. What stroke me as too weird, when I found out the chronology of ieach character, was the conception of Mogul. Why did DC allow a copy of a copy of one of their characters be created? Wasn't it completely reduntant?

I think Thanos, Mongul and Darkseid are completely different villains. They have simular looks but I think personality and motivation wise they differ greatly. You could not just plug Mongul into a Thanos story or Thanos into a Mongul story. Nor could you swap Darkseid and Thanos.

This angle must be very hard to pull off

Well it does help that Thanos and Mongul were both created by Starlin (I think that Len Wein had a hand in Mongul if I recall).
