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.

Former EA Exec Joins THQ

THQ has hired Ron Moravek as executive vice president of production. Moravek will report directly to THQ president Jason Rubin and has been hired as part of an initiative to “embrace new strategic business models, digitally connected experiences, and a more focused, high-quality game slate.”

Moravek is the co-founder of Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment, which THQ acquired in 2004. Moravek previously served as vice president and COO of EA Canada and most recently was a senior advisor to cloud-based internet security firm NuCaptcha.

THQ has seen several corporate changes in the past six months, following Jason Rubin replacing Danny Bilson as president and the resignation of vice president Teri Manby. Moravek’s appointment comes after THQ “shifted its focus” earlier this year, following the failure of its uDraw tablet peripherals.

THQ has seen continued financial trouble throughout 2012, closing its San Diego studio and most recently announcing plans to consolidate its quality assurance facilities. It’s also facing a class-action lawsuit regarding uDraw.
