I am, in fact, an old adult, and I loved this book! This novel fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is basically a story about two estranged brothers, the Collector and the Grandmaster, whose lives intersect after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy (1) and Thor Ragnarok. I really enjoyed the portrayal of these two siblings and their rivalry, not just as brothers but as folks who, until recently, considered themselves masters of their respective universes. They still compete and one-up each other, have not buried their mutually bitter feelings towards the other, and are far more similar to each other than either would ever admit, but they're also family! And what is more universal than spending time and bickering with family? This book also serves as a "Previously on..." reminder before the Infinity War movies, as it briefly rehashes the key events that have occurred in the MCU until now. These re-tellings are told as stories about the Infinity stones, not about earth heroes, and therefore provides a fresh view of past events and what they mean for the war to come. The casting of del Toro and Goldblum were, in my humble opinion, friggin genius. Mr. Snider does a great job of working with the voices of those two characters as developed in Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor Ragnarok, and did an especially amazing job of capturing Goldblum's manner of speaking. The humor mixed with menace we saw in the Grandmaster in Ragnarok is definitely present, as is the Collector's "game face" attitude, sprinkled with a touch of unexpected empathy. Exploring these characters further was a lot of fun, especially since they get under each others' skin better than any hero can. Mr. Snider also took the time to drop some supercool easter eggs for the crazy, die-hard Marvel Comics fans. I cheered at a reference to one of my all-time favorite characters, a Korbinite named Bill. Catch them all! The easter eggs, I mean...and the stones. Review: Surprisingly fun read for a tie in novel. - You know it's a good book for a piece of media when it actually hooks you in, the characters feel right and the writing doesn't totally bore you. I have many tie in books from different series and I can easily say that this is one of the few where I was very hooked when reading it. This also included two favorite MCU characters I was not expecting, The Collector and The Grandmaster and both are written so well here imo. I know some would find the characters being to written so differently from their comic counterparts to be very bad, however these two in the MCU are different and I like reading this book because of that. That being said, if you are going in, reading this and expecting the personalities from the comics and not the movie, I'd say not read it if that bothers you. Amazing considering this is a book intended for younger readers and yet, I had more focus on it than the books I've read meant for much older readers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,384,835 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,191 in Children's Superhero Science Fiction #31,882 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | Cosmic Quest | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (121) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.75 x 8 inches | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0316482730 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0316482738 | | Item Weight | 9.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | April 3, 2018 | | Publisher | Little, Brown Books for Young Readers | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![MARVEL's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume One: Beginning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S6grZXNsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who Needs a Nemesis When You Have A Brother? *by B***D on April 24, 2018* I am not a young adult.

I have many tie in books from different series and I can easily say that this is one of the few where I was very hooked when reading it.

Amazing considering this is a book intended for younger readers and yet, I had more focus on it than the books I've read meant for much older readers. ### ⭐⭐⭐ short shrift for these characters *by J***D on August 26, 2018* I enjoyed the film tie-in "Avengers: Infinity War: The Heroes' Journey" so much that I immediately ordered this. Unfortunately, this was nowhere near as entertaining. The story envisions a meeting between The Collector and his "brother," The Grandmaster. After the power stone explodes in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, The Collector's museum is devastated and he himself is ruined. While he is visiting a low-level pawn broker, he encounters his brother, who is similarly humbled after the events of Thor Ragnarok. They decide to embark on a mini-adventure to obtain an Infinity Stone that is supposedly on Knowhere. The problem for me was a combination of too much knowledge about these characters from the comics versus how they are characterized in the films. Both are significantly powered down compared to the source material; which is fine for films where they are just minor supporting characters. Their eccentricities make them memorable and fun - for a short period. However, when you make the the main protagonists, it kinda falls apart. Readers are expected to believe that a being who was prepared to give 4 BILLION units to Gamora for an infinity stone is now penniless and without the powerful influence he once wielded. And the plot is really just a series of loosely connected scenes: the visit a bar, they visit a pawn shop, etc. It was often silly rather than engaging. The ending tried to set up a sequel, but I'm not sure where ti can go considering what happened in the Infinity War film. I will read the next book, just out of curiosity, but this one just didn't work for me. A younger audience (which I admit is the intended audience) would probably be less critical. ## Frequently Bought Together - MARVEL's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume One: Beginning (Cosmic Quest, 1) - MARVEL's Avengers: Infinity War: The Heroes' Journey (Road to Avengers: Infinity War) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/60806511-marvels-avengers-infinity-war-the-cosmic-quest-volume-one-beginning](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/60806511-marvels-avengers-infinity-war-the-cosmic-quest-volume-one-beginning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
