Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There's a good chance you stumbled upon this review because you recently saw (or plan to see) the film, "Avengers: Infinity War," and you'd like to know how things play out in the source material. First of all, if you enjoy comics, particularly the Marvel universe, then I definitely recommend picking up this paperback. While many big events get overhyped and turn out to be disappointing, Infinity Gauntlet actually left many fans very satisfied. There's a lot of story buildup, not tons of fighting, but we enjoy seeing so many characters coming together to defeat Thanos, a villain who is seemingly invincible. This book collects all 6 issues, which only seemed to have a minor contribution to the events that play out in the movie. Some of the major characters in here - Silver Surfer, Warlock, Mistress Death - don't even appear in the film. Same goes for Wolverine, She-Hulk, and Doctor Doom. However, the general premise is there, and it's possible they used other material as a source like Infinity War, Infinity Crusade, or Infinity Watch. I wouldn't know, admittedly I haven't read them because I was always told Infinity Gauntlet is the best. There's not a lot I can say about this series without spoiling the plot, so I'll just tell you that it's well written by Jim Starlin, and beautifully illustrated by George Perez and Ron Lim, who are all highly respected in the comic industry. Pick this up today and enjoy an epic story about some of the biggest characters in sci-fi/pop culture.
