Rebirth of Thanos (SS 34-38). This is a nice setup for Thanos' return to the Marvel Universe that has an appropriately cosmic feel and does a good job of reintroducing a few of the major players. It bounces between epic and humor, and I found that awkward on the first read, but after I returned to it a second time I enjoyed it more, except for the ever-annoying use of the Impossible Man in the middle issue [7/10].It's nice to have (40) as an add-on to the story, but it's largely a setup for 41-4...
I got sidetracked with some other books and haven't found time tor eturn to this one. I will at some point in the future.
After watching Infinity War the film I decided to have a look for the comics where it all began. This was a pretty cool storyRandom Thoughts:-I really love the scale of this one. Some darn powerful heroes come in this one and you can really feel the battle taking place all around the universe-I also loved how Thanos uses his powers here. I was a tad let down by how he chooses to use them in the film but he really goes all out here and pulls no punches. -Amazing art and amazingly well draw. Thats...
The main story is one of, if not the best Marvel big event. This has the main story, the Thanos Quest (which is very good and imperative to how Thanos gets the gauntlet) and a ton of Silver Surfer to start. Very fun to read! And then the second half is a lot of tie-ins that sometimes matter a lot (like how Dr. Strange sets up a bunch of stuff for the main storyline) or not at all (like Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, and Clagger (Cloak & Dagger) fighting Mephisto, who pops out for a page to say hey to
I essentially enjoyed this as an aside as to Avengers 3 and 4. 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. I liked the bits where the films mirrored the books and enjoyed the Cosmic Beings in particular.
4.5 stars.Whew, what a ride! First of all, Infinity Gauntlet is a five star event. To this day it is still one of Marvel's most important events. Besides that, all of the Silver Surfer issues were fantastic.This collection as a whole, however, has a few issues. First of all, it is waaaaaaay too long. Some of these tie-ins barely have anything to do with the main event. Secondly, even while reading everything in order, all of the stories still don't really line up all that great. Finally, there w...
It was a little hard to understand sometimes and the pictures weren't very goodđź“·
*Possible Infinity War spoilers if you’re the only person in the world who still hasn’t seen it*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. This is a really good series that is packed full of Marvel’s best heroes and villains fighting one of the most recognizable of antagonists, the mad Titan Thanos. A must read for any Marvel fan.
The core Infinity Gauntlet is a great tale. The tie-in bits are of differing quality. Some are wonderful, like the Hulk chapters, some are poor, like the Doc Strange bits, and some are too lengthy, see Silver Surfer. The biggest criticism I have of this collection is that the issues collected are not in any coherent order. You'll have to use the table of contents to find the order original published. It will have you hopping all over the book instead of being able to read front to back. Otherwis...
Thanos you brute! Movie Thanos is negligible compared to this. It's all about absolute power and so much action. I liked it quite a lot! In a word, Fantastic!
This is a great Marvel story. You learn a lot about both Adam Warlock and Thanos throughout the events. Plus I always love seeing the cosmic deities in Marvel, like Galactus and The Living Tribunal. Definitely worth the 5 stars.
3.5 stars. I read this in preparation for the movie and am very curious to see what they do with it.
I really enjoyed, this and I escpecially loved the Thanos Quest, which is the prequel to this. It also shows how the Silver Surfer gets involved and why he's such a twit.Because this is an omnibus it comes with plenty of crossover extras, such as Doctor Strange and the incredible Hulk. Some are good and some are poor. I just wish the crossover comics were placed in between the official infinity gauntlet comics instead of after. It would've improved the flow of the story and made more sense. The
4.5 Stars "Prepare Thyselves for Battle most Fierce and Awesome"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. The whole universe is at mercy of the purple titan! Who can stop such a merciless god?! 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...
This was good, but I feel like some of the issues included weren't related to the storyline at all. It was a bit chaotic and confusing since some of these were lesser characters no one remembers.
MEH
Thanos vs the Marvel Universe, it doesn't get more classic then this i guess...Jim Starlin, George Perez, Ron Lim and many more made a book for the ages with this one, and this is ofcourse the inspiration for a big chunk of the MCU that rocked our socks of with Infinity War and Endgame. I read most of this omnibus many years ago (junior press ftw) but not everything in this omnibus. I am not the biggest fan of tie ins, but most stuff here is good ! We see lots of The Silver Surfer, Doctor Strang...
Wow! This was the largest comic collection I have ever read. But it was also very good. This crown jewel of comics crossovers came along in 1991. I love the blending of cosmic and arcane powers and the interactions of a broad range of characters from the Marvel Universe. It was great to see Drax and Gamora long before the popular Guardians of he Galaxy films. The lead-in issues of Silver Surfer (#34-38, 40, and 40-50) were an excellent way of building the legend and imminent threat of Thanos. Th...
Reread this and Infinity by Hackman to get a refresher on the story before the new Avengers movie comes out. Still as enjoyable and over the top as I remember and its always fun when the cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe show up.
So I can see some of elements taken from the comic & used in Avengers Infinity War. Also thought this was hilarious.
