Spoilers for Thanos: Death Notes #1 by Marvel Comics
Marvel Comics is revealing a seventh Infinity Stone, as the new Thanos: Death Notes one-shot preview showcases the introduction of a mysterious black stone. In Thanos: Death Notes #1, a talented lineup of creators will explore the past and set up the future for the supervillain in the Marvel Universe. However, in the tease for the comic, a new Infinity Stone was surprisingly revealed.
Thanos: Death Notes #1 by Marvel Comics will shine a light on the Mad Titan's brutal past and his darkest future. In the one-shot, Thor will search for answers about being shown his death at the hands of a version of Thanos wielding Mjolnir encrusted by Infinity Stones. With the most terrifying take on Thanos seemingly about to arrive and wreak havoc, a seventh Infinity Stone, referred to as the black stone, will also make its debut. But is the new Infinity Stone a new seventh gem, or is it not from the main Marvel Universe at all?
Thanos: Death Notes #1 will feature a huge creative team, including J. Michael Straczynski, Torunn Gronbekk, Kyle Starks, Christopher Cantwell, Andrea Di Vito, Travel Foreman, and Ron Lim, telling multiple stories starring the Mad Titan in the oversized one-shot from Marvel Comics. When discussing the one-shot, Marvel editor Will Moss revealed that not only will Thanos wield the Infinity Stone-encrusted Mjolnir, but will also be in possession of an all-new Infinity Stone that he referred to as the "black Infinity Stone."

The black Infinity Stone could be something like a Death Stone, as the Mjolnir-wielding Thanos can be seen leading an undead army in Thor's dark visions. Perhaps, the hypothetical black Death Stone gives him control of death in the Marvel Universe, which allows him to raise heroes from the dead and turn them into his own undead army? Considering his relationship with the actual Death, Thanos wielding a stone with her powers would cause a considerable shakeup. It's possible he might finally become one with Death thanks to the new Infinity Stone. Of course, that's all speculation, as Marvel hasn't revealed the seventh Infinity Stone's true nature.
Regardless, seeing Thanos wielding a seventh Infinity Stone in the Marvel Universe means the version from Thor's vision is one of the deadliest, most unpredictable villains he will ever face. Who knows what the black Infinity Stone is capable of, where it comes from, and how it could react alongside the other six gems. Readers will find out more about the new Infinity Stone when Thanos: Death Notes #1 from Marvel Comics arrives in comic book stores in November.
