The art is retro and incredible (Especially in the limited series Thanos quest) and the dialogs are super tacky. The main theme is that the story is a solid idea with tons of potential that ends up being rushed and leaves us with a terrible conclusion.

Reading all their stuff gave me a better understanding of the characters and made the story hit harder. 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 ? The last two are another big let down as the ending is wholly underwhelming and just the shittiest was they could have gone about it. It was the time when characters still used thought balloons and used to narrate the obvious for reader's convenience. Skipping Quasar, Sleepwalker, Spiderman and the horrid Cloak and dagger issues would be a good move.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". Death and suicide are recurring themes in Starlin's work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine. The Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus starts out reprinting the events previously assembled in Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos, the limited Thanos Quest, and a few more Silver Surfer episodes to appropriately set the stage for the actual Infinity Gauntlet mini-series. For one, it means that these comics are the greatest canvas imaginable for those two most inspiring words in the English language: what if? The omnibus then gives us 26 tie in issues of various comics that take place during the Infinity Gauntlet.

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 love the blending of cosmic and arcane powers and the interactions of a broad range of characters from the Marvel Universe. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. The Doctor Strange and Hulk issues lie somewhere in between but have their high points, such as the final Doctor Strange issue, which is the perfect conclusion for the volume.In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. 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! I also liked the twist that subcausiously Thanos wants to be challenged or defeated so that was an interesting layer too. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. I finally got a copy of the infinity Gauntlet omnibus and was wondering of its worth investing in the trilogy (Infinity War/Crusade).
