The Infinity Gauntlet
The Infinity Gauntlet | Jim Starlin, Ron Lim
12 posts | 18 read | 2 to read
For the dark Titan, Thanos, the Infinity Gauntlet was the Holy Grial, the ultimate proze to be coveted above all else. With it came omnipotence, the absolute control over all aspects of time, space, power, reality, the mind and the soul. The gaining of supreme might meant the beginning of a black nightmare for the entire universe. On the edge of Armageddon and lead by the mysterious Adam Warlock, Earth's super heroes join in a desperate attempt to thwart the nihilistic god's insane plunge into galactic self-destruction. If they fail, the astral gods of the universe wait to step into the fray. But in such an awesome conflict, will anyone prevail? Will anyone survive? In the vein of other mega-crossovers, like Secret Wars and Contest of Champions, The Infinity Gauntlet is jam-packed with Marvel's most recognizable characters. Spider-Man, the Avengers, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men all answer the call to action, with the fate of existence itself hanging in the balance. The Infinity Gauntlet is truly an unforgettable epic on a cosmic scale!

The writing is overblown but I do admire this arc for the giant crossover cosmic cataclysm event that it was. The art is still very ~vintage~ since this came out in 1991 and the few female heroes there are all have that tiny waist/twisted back look to them 🙄 I‘m glad I read it to check it off the list but I don‘t think I‘ll be revisiting this one.

T minus 7 or so hours til I see Endgame and find out what spoilers were real or not!

Finally reading this comic before seeing Endgame tomorrow! I understand why they didn‘t go with “Thanos is desperately trying to impress his lady love, Death” as his motive in the movies but damn is that so much cooler and more metal than “the universe is mismanaging its resources and have I got the solution for you” 💀

Texreader Hope you love the movie as much as I did! 5y

My son and I saw Avengers: Endgame last night. I‘m still shaken by it. I was a blubbering mess watching it, and even the morning after, I‘m still fighting back tears. The only thing I‘ll say is that you do not want to miss seeing this in a theater. Waiting for it to come out on digital or disc would be a mistake, because there are so many stunning visuals and this is a milestone moment in cinema. #AvengersEndgame

LibrarianRyan JELLY!!!!!!!!! Hope to get there this weekend 5y
kamoorephoto I saw it too, with my son...INTENSE. I laughed, I cried. We sat there speechless for a while afterwards. He‘s on strict instruction not to talk about it at school, and he‘s going to see it AGAIN with friends on Saturday. I can‘t believe the rollercoaster that movie takes viewers on 🌮🌮🌮🌮 (edited) 5y
BillBlume @LibrarianRyan hope you get to go soon! 5y

BillBlume @kamoorephoto my wife Sheri won‘t get to see the film until Thursday. My son and I are going to be struggling not to spill any details between and then. Haha! 5y
kamoorephoto @BillBlume OMG I don‘t know how you are going to do it!!!! 5y
LibrarianRyan @BillBlume sitting in for the late show. Josh hates Marvel so it was easier to get one seat. 5y

Just come out of an Avengers double screen. Infinity War then End Game at midnight 😁 Don't worry, no spoilers here, after all #ThanosDemandsYourSilence. All I will say is this: it was brilliant. Before the film, we discussed our favourite MCU movies to date. Mine was the first Avengers movie. That has now changed. #DontSpoilTheEndGame but go see it. I'll certainly be seeing it again in multiple numbers 😊

CoverToCoverGirl Going on Sunday! .. with my entire family.. can‘t wait! 5y
Eyelit So looking forward to this! 5y

Only tangentially literature related, but this has to be the weirdest cross-promotion I have ever seen in my life.

Because Thanos is purple, I guess? Wouldn‘t raisins make more sense?

Caroline2 That is weird!?! 🤷‍♀️ 5y
GingerAntics We had some green table grapes that were Disney Princess. No idea why. We‘ve also had Star Wars grapes. Doesn‘t make any sense to me either. 5y

This is my #LibraryBookHaul today!! Got 4 issues of Green Lantern and Infinity Gauntlet (which I've been itching to read for some time).

If anybody knows where I can find some John Stewart Green Lantern graphic novels, please let me know.

This trip was due totally to my wife, @TheBookAddict being addicted to books. It's not just a social media handle...it's her life. She had us in the library on a Sat. unexpectedly. Thank goodness. Lol.

TheBookAddict It‘s good to be spontaneous once in a while! 😅😁 5y

I'm always late to the party. However better late than never arriving. 😊

I haven't been in Litsy in a few days and I didn't know that there was #Readathon going on this weekend. Thankfully I didn't miss #4in48Readathon hosted by @Syndelle777 I'm a good 12hrs behind so I probably should've picked smaller books to read however these are all due back to the library soon 🙆

Here is my tentative TBR for this weekend.

#LibraryBooks #BookishBabe

I promised myself that I wouldn't post any more comics, at least for a while, but I can't think of anything which takes us further #outofthisworld than Starlin's Infinity Gauntlet saga. It involves both space travel and interdimensional shifts, yet the characters are surprisingly fleshed out, especially for an older comic. #booktober
