This is weird for me to admit, but The Infinity Gauntlet just may be my favorite comic for a wide number of reasons. What makes it weird is how much I disliked Marvel when I was a kid, and how much I now like their characters as an adult. When I was a kid back in the 60s, I read DC comics almost exclusively because I liked how the stories always ended in each issue, and I didn't read Marvel because it felt like they could never end a story or were always referencing other comics I knew I never get to see. This was a big deal when you are 10 and your sole source of comic book money is returning pop bottles for two cents each. Now, that I'm retired and can afford to buy a compilation every now and then, I like how the longer story format can really help us see the characters struggle with ongoing conflicts and aspirations. Thanos is a great character because how he continues to gain ultimate power, lose it, die, come back, get power again, lose it, and die repeatedly is noted in the story. That the most evil villain in the comic universe could somehow be more effective if he had just enough psychotherapy to overcome his own self-defeating behaviors is absurd and hilarious. If you want a good 90s style comic that is self-aware of its own campiness, you could not do better than The Infinity Gauntlet.Read full review

The dopest Marvel event ever? Most likely, but lately I've been thinking Annihilation may be up there too. This is THE event to get if you want to get to know Thanos. Sure, you can go back and get the Cosmic Cube saga, and Thanos Quest and the Silver Surfer issues leading up to this, but this is a great starting point to see if you swoon for the prune-faced villain. Starlin is awesome here, all your big Marvel players are present as well as all the abstract cosmic entities. This gets real stale with Infinity War and Infinity Crusade. So this is the one to get. For reals.
I’m glad I made this purchase specially from who I purchased from. Communication was excellent. They let me know my package was on its way with tracking provided. Packaging was excellent. I would purchase again from them if they have what I need.

The comic was physically in great condition! I love that the whole series of Infinity Gauntlet comics are in this one paperback book. The color inside is very wonderfully done by the manufacturer & preserved by the previous owner.
