Thanos: The end? Starlin.com announces that, "due to irreconcilable creative difference," Jim Starlin is leaving Marvel's "Thanos." According to the website, Starlin has scripted and penciled Issue 6, and is finishing the script to Issue 7. Issue 3 comes out Dec. 3 (Link via The Pulse.)

Reaction on the Comicon message boards is swift and, well, largely indifferent.

Poster A: "Thanos is one of those quirky characters that only certain writers (in this case his creator, Starlin) can get a handle on and do justice to."

Poster B: "Does anyone else even WANT to write about Thanos besides Starlin?"
