Here's a Closer Look at The Avengers' Thanos

We may have already gotten a glimpse of Thanos at the very end of Marvel's The Avengers, but thanks to the Blu-ray and DVD's Avengers Initiative: Marvel Second Screen Experience app, fans have been able to capture a few gems, including new closeups of the Mad Titan in all his menacing glory.

Check out the images below for a better look at The Avengers' big bad, as well as some never before seen set photos from the production (via ComicBookMovie):

Thanos: Son of Titan Canceled

After his appearance in The Avengers and with the reveal of Guardians of the Galaxy being the next Marvel film in the works, Thanos has made an aggressive resurgence in the pages of Marvel Comics. In fact, just earlier this month Marvel made a big to-do about a new series called Thanos: Son of Titan, a five-issue mini-series by Joe Keatinge and Rich Elson that was set to explore the character's origin. I say "was," because as revealed in a Marvel retailer update, the series has been scrapped.

Appearing in this month's Previews catalogue, the Marvel Mailer update to comic shops read, "*THANOS SON OF TITAN #1 (OF 5) & VAR (AUG120580-1, $2.99, FOC 09/24/12) has been canceled." Sometimes this happens and the book is simply resolicited for a later date, but that isn't the case here.

I reached out to Marvel and they confirmed the cancellation but declined to comment further. It's strange to be sure, as this was a series Marvel pushed pretty hard, including a debut in USA Today and lots of buzz at Comic-Con a few weeks ago.
