The Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin - Paperback

Incredible book I read it online and I instantly rushed here to get the real version, arguably the greatest marvel comic book of all time and I definitely recommend, honestly the only thing what wasn’t perfect was the art because it’s pretty old it feels a little wierd reading but other than that it’s perfect

This is my first comic book, but is also the best as it is worth of money with all the 6 comic collection of this issue. It is fantastic and best, I recommend you to buy this but also buy it's SAGA.

You know about this Infinity Gauntlet trade paperback because either you're a longtime Marvel comics fan or you've found out about this storyline because of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). This is part of one of the most famous Marvel sagas ever but we need to start by clarifying that the saga doesn't start with this volume. In fact, this collection does a rather poor job of explaining what has happened thus far and what is the wider context.I recommend that you start by reading the TPB "Silver Surfer - Rebirth of Thanos" and the Epic Collection "Silver Surfer - Thanos Quest". There is another Epic Collection "Silver Surfer - The Infinity Gauntlet" but it contains mostly low relevance tie-ins which you can safely skip. What you get with the two aforementioned collections (and there is slight double dip between them but it's still worth buying the two TPBs) is the background story of how Thanos came back from the dead and is serving Mistress Death in her bid to control the population of the universe, while the Silver Surfer becomes aware of these nefarious plans and starts to fight back. Crucially, you get to see how Thanos collects the six infinity gems, defeating their owners (The Collector, The Grandmaster, The Gardener, etc.).Then we go to this collection "Infinity Gauntlet", which collects Infinity Gauntlet 1-6. I will avoid big spoilers but the context when this collection starts is that Thanos, with the power from the infinity gauntlet, snaps his fingers and makes half of the population of the universe disappear, including several characters that we know. With absolute power, he becomes the center of attention for earth's heroes, headed by Adam Warlock and his companions, but also for several cosmic entities and even some villains like Galactus and Doctor Doom. Everyone gangs up to go against Thanos but how can you defeat someone who enjoys absolute power, even being flanked by a powerful minion like Mephisto?I won't go into spoilers on how the story unfolds but you can be sure that it's epic, one of the most epic in the history of Marvel comics. The collection is written by Jim Starlin, a legend of the business and the author who created Thanos and essentially the Marvel cosmic universe, while George Perez and Ron Lim take care of the illustrations. I am personally a fan of Ron Lim's art and this collection contains several epic moments where his illustrations really shine.A must read for Marvel fans. Now, be advised that even if there is closure to the story, the saga itself doesn't really end here so you will want to pick up "Infinity Gauntlet Aftermath", "Infinity War", "Infinity War Aftermath", "Infinity Crusade" and potentially also "Thor Blood and Thunder". This is because the Infinity saga is actually a trilogy, it doesn't end with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Parfait 👍🏻

Ya había tenido la oportunidad de tener una de estas copias del comic en mis manos, pero por razones que no me interesa ni le interesa a usted como comprados saber, aquí me encuentro haciendo la reseña de lo que es una de las mejores sagas de comics que haya hecho MARVEL antes en su historia.OJO si eres nuevo en el mundo de los comics y te interesa ingresar a esto debes comprender dos reglas fundamentales, la primera: Este es el tercer comic de 18 que componen la colección, para comenzar de forma apropiada deberás adquirir: Avengers Vs. Thanos. Y en el mismo comic deberá mencionarte cual continua.Segundo, esta versión es Inglesa por lo que si lo tuyo no es el inglés no te recomiendo su compra, pero si no tienes problema con ello lo recomiendo más que nada porque no pierdes algunas cosas que pudieran mencionar los autores originales.Si te preguntas si lo recomiendo, la verdad es que si, pero ten en cuenta que dejan partes abiertas para dar trama al siguiente comic, recomendado perfectamente.Llego en un día por prime y estoy viendo si conseguir alguno otro que me falta para tener la saga completa en mis manos.
