Jim Starlin On His Split With Marvel

The End Of A Decades-Long Relationship

♦ Veteran Marvel creator Jim Starlin, and the man who created the villain for this Spring’s Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos, ended his long relationship with Marvel back in December. SyFy Wire just chatted to him to get his side of things…

At the time back in December, Starlin went on his Facebook page to explain that he would no longer be doing any work for Marvel Editorial. The comic book writer and artist explained that the reason for the split had to do with executive editor Tom Brevoort approving a plot for the ongoing Thanos comic series (which may have been cancelled) that was extremely close to the graphic novel trilogy he had been working on with Alan Davis.
