He seems to be the most defined evil character, actually being fleshed out in regards to not only why he does what he does, but also in how he grows and changes as his schemes take shape and then fall apart. This issue did not disappoint, as Thanos truly seems to be trying to move on with his life, in the only manner he can think of. Wonderful development here.Gold Digger #45: I love this comic, I really do, but they say the ones you love always hurt you, and it shows here. It's not anything bad about the comic itself, its just that, as per his style, Fred Perry has, again, moved on from the previous issue, giving us no immediate resolution. While I think its this ability to juggle multiple character-based happenings at once is great, the fact that only one per issue is dealt with, and the relative infrequency of issues, make this something of an exercise in patience.This issue sees Gina leave with Monty (the big readheaded guy who flattened Daishi from back in issue #4 or so) to go explore a volcano, at his urging, to uncover the truth about his past. She leaves behind the entourage supposed to protect her, trusting in Monty and Joe to protect her. Brianna, Seance, and Genn choose to follow.It's nice to see Monty fleshed out a little more, since the fact that he utterly thrashed Daishi so easily hinted at some odd incredible power he had. However, its odd that Gina was so easily talked into leaving the others behind. They're the ones who came along deliberately to protect her after all. Even if Monty said it would be that dangerous, Gina should realize her friends can protect themselves. Likewise, why isn't Brianna apparently doing anything about the fact that her eye-stripe as returned, and she can apparently use sorcery now? This tidbit had been hinted at for a while and finally came to the fore two issues ago, but has yet to be expanded upon or even mentioned so far! I am glad, though, to see that Genn and Seance are deepening their relationship. Those two deserve to be happy together.On the plus side, this issue had the most beautiful artwork Ive seen in the series so far...quite possibly ever seen in a comic. The two double-page spreads we see are nothing short of breathtaking. Looking over the entire series shows how much Fred's art has improved over time, and its still obviously on the rise.All of this will just lead me to continue with this series, since I just can't let it go. My one comment to Antarctic Press: Stop wasting so much space on advertizements! Why, why do you think that the last eight pages of the issue must be filled with ads for other products you produce?! Let those pages be used for the comics!</blockquote>
