Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus

Product Information

Here with Starlin writing almost all of these issues Marvel did a great job of avoiding that problem. Because this is an omnibus it comes with plenty of crossover extras, such as Doctor Strange and the incredible Hulk. Then, when the Marvel Universe teams up to take on Thanos, we get a lot of waiting, while Adam Warlock plans and waits until just the right minute to set things into motion. I would have liked to see more Spider-Man (especially considering that the solo Spidey story in this collection was, quite frankly, a little weird and a little dark--not bad, but.

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. The art is retro and incredible (Especially in the limited series Thanos quest) and the dialogs are super tacky. But on the other hand, it also means that the suspension of disbelief can be stretched to nearly a breaking point--and also that the villain can be made so powerful that defeating him becomes unrealistic. 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 — including the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Doctor Strange and the Hulk!I did really like most of the supplemental issues, even those that aren't necessary, but I should have to go back and establish the time-frame for each issue.

When Marvel Comics wished to use the name of Captain Marvel for a new, different character,[citation needed] Starlin was given the rare opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. 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. Definitely came away feeling like I have a much better understanding of Thanos and impressed with some of the best writing of the Silver Surfer I've seen.

About the first 850ish pages followed the main story straight thru starting with the Silver Surfer prologue issues, Thanos rising mini-series, and then the Infinity Gauntlet issues. 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. 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. 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 – including the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Doctor Strange and the Hulk!
