Everybody should read Annihilation, it's tremendous.
And yeah, things have been uneven since. The art has made surges in quality, the writing has been up and down. I will say that I'm really enjoying the new Thanos and Gamora books that are out right now, and both showcase some of the best art I've seen in cosmic Marvel.
Some of my favorite stories are the ones that explore the compulsively inquisitive and self-serving side of Thanos. So few writers at Marvel seem to understand him, utilizing him instead as a cliched villain plot device.
But he's much deeper than some generic space warlord, he's a meticulous monster. He killed half a galaxy for a woman's love, and I think that's something every man can identify with.
