I just wish all the cosmic stuff would be given back to Abnett and Lanning, they made cosmic cool again and now Bendis and pals are making it not so good. Under DnA we got not one but three great event stories (Annihilation: Conquest, The Realm/War of Kings, and the Thanos Imperative) which all followed up an equally great story (Annihilation) and set up the best span of cosmic Marvel. They made Nova bombastically awesome, created the GotG line up that everybody knows now, and wove out a bigger picture where everything actually felt related and relevant. That and besides Starlin they were the only writers that really felt like they did Thanos and Warlock right.

I think Starlin came back to Thanos recently for all the post-Infinity/Secret Wars OGNs because of how weak he seemed in those stories. Starlin is Thanos' creator so he felt his protective parenting nature kick in and he reasserted Thanos' power (albeit a bit too much since he did cakewalk the Annihilators with little help from the universe powered Adam Warlock). I mean Thanos is supposed to be the big cosmic universal threat so he should be ridiculously strong but to take out the team of guys who's defining team structure is being the strongest out there with minimal effort or support is too much.
