Thanos as you want to see him!!! This TPB edition collects “The Infinity Gauntlet” #1-6.Creative Team:Writer: Jim StarlinIllustrator: George Perez IF THE GLOVE FITS… Thanos begins here already in full power, no waiting, no hunt for gems, oh no siree!Thanos is in possession already of the Infinity Gauntlet with all the six gems: Soul, Mind, Power, Time, Reality, Space.Therefore, controlling all those six aspects of existence, basically he became a god (curiously, enough his first act is prob
I admit, I read this because of that scene in Avengers. As good of a reason as any, I think. And I'm glad that I did, because it's really enormous fun.Yes, the exact dialog and the exact character designs are a bit dated. But George Perez is an artist I don't think I could ever get tired of, and the plot and pacing are exciting and absorbing. Thanos is a very intimidating opponent under any circumstances, and now with almost unlimited power, nobody can truly beat him but himself. So the strategy...
This was a loaner from my neighbor and not something that I would have normally picked out for myself. 'Cause it's...old. And the art looks...old. It even smelled...old. As I read over the blurb on the back, I was like, Hey, Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet? Isn't that the theme for that cartoon that my kids like so much? Superhero Squad!...and then my son snatched it. Honestly, I didn't fight him for it either. I mean, it looked so...old. But a few days later, when I heard him telling his brot...
I don't really feel at home in the world Marvel has created, yet with all that The Avengers: Infinity War hype (that I have fallen for as well, there is no denying), I was intrigued to find out how the Cinematic Universe compares to its prototype. The Infinity Gauntlet is big and ambitious in its scale. We meet Thanos, who is in possession of all six stones that give him ultimate power of soul, mind, power, time, reality and space. What he hasn't won yet (and what makes him very different - and
Back when I was a kid, I followed my favorite superheroes whenever I could afford it. Thor and Karate Kid were two at the top of that list. It probably wasn't so much the colorful costume as it was what they could do. Thor's mighty hammer could smash things, and he looked like a Viking, while Karate Kid could chop things up with his hands at a time when the only ones who did martial arts were the experts who's adds in the comic books said they would share their secrets for a dollar in cash, chec...
This was pretty good. Finally reading it after all this time and I kinda enjoyed it.The premise is simple. Thanos gets his hands on the Infinity Gauntlet and decides to wipe out half the life from the universe and we see the aftermath of it and the assemblage of Avengers and other team heroes with Warlock at the helm and they take the fight to the cosmic behemoth and well its an insane fight the way Thanos takes down the Avengers and there is that moment with Cap which was crazy and finally the

Not a comic to be missed if you loved Avengers Infinity War! The recent Avengers film is excellent. It’s one of my favourite films in the marvel cinematic universe (despite the tears I may have shed) so I wanted to read its source material, and it really didn’t disappoint. Sure the artwork’s a little dated, and the film capitalises on the action and makes it more dramatic and flashy, though the story is so strong here. The success of it resides in its ability to blend so many elements into
Sure, it’s all kinda bonkers, but what do you expect when Thanos, the Mad Titan, becomes the most powerful being in the universe? By the beginning of issue #2, he has already murdered a quarter of the universe’s populace just to impress his queen of hearts, Mistress Death – not your run-of-the-mill romance. And then the space-time continuum starts to shift, entire solar systems are ravaged, Planet Earth is derailed from its orbit, falling into another ice age…I found the book’s unreserved commit...
This was honestly brilliant!The story was so well constructed and I loved to see if develop, taking some surprising twists and turns a long the way!It was nice to see so many different marvel characters involved and I'm excited to see how they use this concept for the infinity war movies.Admittedly, the cosmic characters and scenes were not my favourite but the art work and story made them enjoyable and entertaining to read.
For those readers interested at a potential glimpse of the content of the Avengers (Assembled) sequel this is your choice of graphic novel. Infinity Gauntlet focuses on the proposed villain for this future movie, a villain known for meddling with the power of the Tesseract (or Cosmic Cube), and who runs by the name of Thanos. For the most part this graphic novel keeps a nice balance between message, story and visual elements, that is when the story doesn't become cosmically imbalanced by the bat...
Well I just had to finally sit down and read this before Infinity War. Thoughts? It's not bad. Basically Thanos wants to prove to death his worth. So what does he do? Well he kills a lot of motherfuckers. There's a huge moment where basically every avenger ever plus some all go to fight the big badass but he simply swats and beats them away. Killing a ton shit. Of course they'll come back but before that he stomps out most of them. Good: Liked watching Thanos beat the fuck out of everyone. I als...
I found this at the top of a list of the best Marvel Events offered on Goodreads. The Infinity Gauntlet formed the plot of the latest two "Avenger" movies. Great news: if you liked the movies you will love these comics (I read them on Marvel Unlimited). The story has little similarity, and the cast of characters expands beyond the Cinematic Universe. The "movie-Thanos," if you will, manifests a clear, sound, intelligent mind. He masks his corruption under the guise of humility, a villain with li...
In order to impress his paramour, Death, Thanos kills half of the universe using the Infinity Gauntlet. The remaining half of the universe, guided by Adam Warlock, is pissed off and means to stop Thanos at any cost...As part of justifying my Marvel Unlimited subscription, I decided to finally read The Infinity Gaunlet. Hell, I'm only seventeen years late. On the heels of reading Warlock: The Complete Collection, I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully, this one was a lot easier to digest.The In...
Thanos has gained control of the infinity gauntlet, a glove armed with the six infinity gems. With the gauntlet the mad titan is the strongest being in the universe, but the universe's heroes still choose to fight.I try not to judge older works of art as critically as newer ones because the great ones especially are often borrowed and improved upon over time. This is no exception in the massive crossover Infinity Gauntlet. The story is good and it's easy to see how it influenced many future comi...
Got a healthy hankering for purple prose? Crave a continuing cast of character constantly referring to themselves in the third person?Looking for a collection of cosmic cataclysms colossal enough to leave Michael Bay lost in pyrotechnic longing?Well, have I got a book for you.
I read this back when it was originally published in 1991, and I remember thinking, “Wow! This is a comic that combines the best of Marvel’s more grounded heroes with its cosmic elements to create an epic story of a threat to the entire universe. Someday, maybe in about 20 or 25 years when motion picture technology advances to the point where they can make superhero movies that look really cool, Marvel could start their own movie studio and release a series of films based on some of these charac...
With Infinity War Part I coming out soon I decided to give this a try. I gotta say, I had lots of fun with this!What’s it about?Thanos has this glove with a bunch of shiny stones in it called the infinity gauntlet (you may have heard of it) and those stones contain extreme power. Thanos, being an evil madman uses that power to do a lot of insane and wicked things, so heroes and villains of the Marvel universe team up to stop him.Pros:The story is crazy, exciting and interesting! It’s surprisingl...
Having seen the Avengers movie, I wondered who that odd looking fellow with the menacing grin was in the post-credits scene and did some googling when I got back home. His name is Thanos and the info I read pointed toward a book that does the character the best justice - "The Infinity Gauntlet" - and luckily my local library had a copy so I grabbed it and sat down this afternoon to read it.While the book is 20 years old at this point, I loved it. But what's it about? It's about Thanos and his lo...
Considering the big event spectacles and crossovers that have over-saturated superhero comics since it's publication (surely that's just a coincidence) The Infinity Gauntlet holds up better than it has any right to. The melodramatic aplomb from Jim Starlin still charms and the cosmic spectacle created by George Perez, Ron Lim, Joe Rubinstein, Max Scheele, Ian Laughlin, Tom Christopher, Bruce Solotoff, and Evelyn Stein is surprisingly dazzlingly. It's like a summer blockbuster by Roland Emmerich
