Appearance Spotlight: Thanos's Ship

As you might have heard, a movie called Avengers: Infinity War came out recently (April 2018). You've possibly even seen it. And in this movie, Thanos has a ship called Sanctuary. (For full accuracy, the Sanctuary first appeared in the stinger for Thor: Ragnarok [November 2017].)


The Sanctuary is also Thanos's ship in the Marvel comics universe, as seen here from Thanos #1 (2003). It debuted in Warlock #10 (October 1975), although we only saw its inside back then. Regardless, it has a much different shape.


That is, until Thanos Annual 2018 (April 2018), where the Sanctuary suddenly has a whole new appearance, just in time for the new movie - the day before, in fact.


And technically, these ships are both technically the Sanctuary II. The comics' ship replaced the original boxy one, and the movies' ship replaced Thanos's hunk of rock from his first couple of appearances.
