Perhaps - but I think Thanos would cut a sorry figure if written by Nietzsche, who derided and rejected nihilism as a wish for the end, for nothingness, on the part of a weak, decadent, abortive spirit. Actually Darkseid would be the better representative of the Nietzschean philosophy as the pure embodiment of the will to power. I think my interest is that yeah Nietzsche was much more than a nihilist and Thanos is a superficial nihilist. But I think he'd add so much more complexity to Thanos than Starlin's first preoccupation with Death and the ending of all life for her. Nietzsche would give him more depth in how he viewed the world at the time and his views on religion, which Starlin heavily saturates in the Warlock/Thanos relationship. To me Starlin writes about religion as I would/have. Angry and vengeful. But the reason Nietzsche clicks with me is his take on religion and it's affect of man is so much more intellectual than mine. Sure he shows emotion and distain for religion but he always tempers it with logic. Something Thanos fancies himself good at. With Starlin helming Thanos there's always a motivation of emotion but a superficial facade of intellect. I think that's something Nietzsche would excel at. As far Darkseid I can't comment much. I've always seen him as a two dimensional warlord/dictator with no motivation other than power over others. Seemingly different than Thanos' obsession with power forcthe sake of power. But I'm certainly not expert on Darkseid's motivations. Darkseid sought the Ant-Life Equation to control more than Apokolips but dominate all life in the Universe. So Darkseid and the New Gods written by John Milton. |

I just found out he's going to do a lecture/signing where I work next week. I re-read Masterpiece Comics at least three times a year. Would love to meet the man and have him sign an Apple Terms of Service agreement for me! |

So Darkseid and the New Gods written by John Milton. I'd like to see a modern-day comics writer attempt a new Gods series in the style of Milton. Grant Morrison can do the Miltonic speech, as he showed in his Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein series a few years back, but I'm not sure who else would be up to the task. |

Michael Moorcock should have written Sandman after Neil left.
since there'd be no Sandman (or metaphysical 'Neil' work) without Moorcock anyway.
