Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus

Product Information

Thanos Quest could have been an awesome tale of Thanos taking down some of the biggest challengers in the universe, but instead, Thanos quickly breezes through the owners of the six gems with no problem and makes his gauntlet.

With a career dating back to the early 1970s, he is best known for "cosmic" tales and space opera; for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock; and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. But even as the Mad Titan gathers the six Infinity Gems from across the galaxy, assembling them into the Infinity Gauntlet and gaining truly godlike powers, a host of heroes gather to oppose him.It'll tell us "these events happen in between issues 2 and 3 of The Infinity Gauntlet" or "This issue takes place during issue 4 of The Infinity Gauntlet". It doesn't make any sense to plop them all at the end so that we are reading things that have already taken place. As a product of its time, the main event is very strong, offering both a stellar cosmic storyline and a fun look at the Marvel heroes of the '90s and the universe's cosmic entities. The team of Silver surfer and Drax were able to find Adam warlock, who was dead as a doornail and is resurrected to stop Thanos.

Here with Starlin writing almost all of these issues Marvel did a great job of avoiding that problem. I love the blending of cosmic and arcane powers and the interactions of a broad range of characters from the Marvel Universe. Still as enjoyable and over the top as I remember and its always fun when the cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe show up.This Mega crossover tells the odyssey of Thanos, who travels across the universe to collect the Infinity gems AKA Soul gems AKA Infinity stones and combines them using a badass gauntlet to achieve omnipotence. In the late 1980s, Starlin began working more for DC Comics, writing a number of Batman stories, including the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug. My knowledge of Marvel during this time is not as great as during its initial fifteen years or in the early 2000s so at first I struggled before getting into the story.

The reset button at the end is the main problem with the series, but pretty expected given what occurs. This is truly one of the best comic book events of Marvel, spanning two limited series and six titles which add up to 45 individual issues!

They are (usually) very good and really help flesh out the situation and just how far its effects are felt.

Reread this and Infinity by Hackman to get a refresher on the story before the new Avengers movie comes out. These two special events do a great job of highlighting the Elders (and the In-Betweener) and introducing the Infinity Gems and the art on them is exquisite. I hadn’t read this comic since I was really young, and I wanted to brush up on all of the post-snap details so I can make my predictions for Avengers 4 next year.

Skipping Quasar, Sleepwalker, Spiderman and the horrid Cloak and dagger issues would be a good move. One would expect a crossover that is 1200+ pages would have a long lasting impact on most characters. If you intend to read the omnibus, I'd recommend reading the other serials when they occur in their proper time slots instead of all at the end like the omnibus was designed. Marvel, it seems to me, takes the whole "modern mythology" thing very literally--or, at least, more so than I've seen DC take it. I also liked the twist that subcausiously Thanos wants to be challenged or defeated so that was an interesting layer too.
