Stellar reception: Never ones to let their lack of familiarity with a creator get in the way, the Comicon gang reacts to word that Keith Giffen will replace Jim Starlin as the writer of "Thanos":

"Interesting move. Is this Giffen's first writing gig for Marvel?"

"Most of his [Giffen's] Marvel work was doing art chores and Kirby swipes back in the 70's. Last work I can recall him doing off the top of my head was some of the last issues of Killraven. And it's probably for the best that he's writing and Ron Lim's doing the art. Because I can't think of anything more nauseating than the concept of Thanos being rendered in a Munoz swipe style."

"Another DC boy to f*ck up a good Marvel book. So long Thanos it was great reading you with Starlin while it lasted."

Thankfully, a few posters step up to point out Giffen's extensive resume.
