Christwarrior316 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi Guys quick question. Why is Avengers #125 a key or semi key issue? I know it is the first Thanos cover for the Avengers comics, but is this the first time the Avengers are fighting Thanos ? I know his first appearance is in Iron Man #55. Would really appreciate the clarity here. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I wouldn't classify it as a key as much as any of his Captain Marvel books minus the Death issue. Anything Thanos is hot and if he's on the cover it's hotter. Lazyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) You're not really missing anything. Very little Thanos in it, just The Avengers having a fight in space with an alien invasion fleet sent by him. Some nice interior art, but a minor addition to the storyline which was progressing in Captain Marvel. Edited July 30, 2017 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Man Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Always liked that cover. In fact many of the Avengers in the 100-150 range had some decent covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do own the comic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Devourer Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Like many Avengers issues of the time, it is a fairly blah read. The Avengers destroy the device that allows Thanos' minions to communicate with one another, but don't actually alter the Titan's plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) In the Avengers Annual 7 / Marvel Two-In-One Annual 2 crossover story, The Avengers have another battle with his alien henchmen, but that story is far more significant to the Thanos Saga as a whole. It has some classic scenes; especially Warlock's. Edited August 11, 2017 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
