"I keep coming up with ideas that are just so darkly brutal," Cates teased. "I just understand him as a character and as a god. I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing...I don't want to get too much into what I'm doing, but the basic idea is that...I believe every Marvel hero in the galaxy, if you were to catch them on a dark day and asked them how the world was going to end, they'd say, 'Thanos, of course.' He's just always there."

"I'm just excited. I get to draw everything. It's just so big and out there," Shaw added. "Not to belabor the point, but Donny told me the pitch too, and I was like, 'Really?' It's out there, it's crazy, it's huge."
