Remember how cute it was when Thanos kidnapped Gamora as a child and killed half of her species in Avengers: Infinity War? Or how adorable it was when Thanos threw off his kidnapped/adopted daughter of a cliff so that he could get an Infinity Stone? Well, Marvel has the series for you as a new Thanos mini-series was announced and it will detail the relationship of The Mad Titan and a young girl who would eventually become the most dangerous woman in the galaxy.
Written by Tini Howard, who is also writing the upcoming Age of Conan:Belit series, and drawn by superstar artist Ariel Olivetti, who just came off the acclaimed Death of Inhumans mini-series, this is looking like a series that will be ideal for MCU fans and hardcore comic readers. Though a few comics have given us glimpses of Thanos' relationship with Gamora, this will be the first time an entire series is dedicated to that premise.

Howard told Marvel.com that the series will display their relationship in an interesting light, saying it will be a typical smart girl/big angry guy type of dynamic. Think Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us or Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. Either way, we should be in for a good time.
"I'm a sucker for a smart girl and the big angry guy who becomes her father figure. When I put some thought into what Thanos and Gamora's early relationship would have been like in an interpersonal sense, not the thousand-yard-overview we get in the old books, I go back to 'True Grit.' Or I think of team-ups like Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark from 'Game of Thrones,' you know? These classic duos where nothing threatens the big bad guy -- except for a kid. And it's not because kids are cute and vulnerable, it's because they're honest. And they don't have a full understanding of the world around them yet, so they're somewhat unaware of nuance and danger."
