The Mad Titan Thanos has gathered the Infinity Gems - and he plans to transform our universe into a nightmarish tribute to his true love, Death!

About the author
Jim Starlin
1,339 books446 followersJames P. "Jim" Starlin is an American comic book writer and artist. With a career dating back to the early 1970s, he is best known for "cosmic" tales and space opera; for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock; and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Death and suicide are recurring themes in Starlin's work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine.
In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. Starlin also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974).
When Marvel Comics wished to use the name of Captain Marvel for a new, different character,[citation needed] Starlin was given the rare opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. The Death of Captain Marvel became the first graphic novel published by the company itself. (
In the late 1980s, Starlin began working more for DC Comics, writing a number of Batman stories, including the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug.-Nov. 1988), and the storyline "Batman: A Death in the Family", in Batman #426-429 (Dec. 1988 – Jan. 1989), in which Jason Todd, the second of Batman's Robin sidekicks, was killed. The death was decided by fans, as DC Comics set up a hotline for readers to vote on as to whether or not Jason Todd should survive a potentially fatal situation. For DC he created Hardcore Station.

No story has stuck with me or brought me as much enjoyment as Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet crossover event from 1991. I was a 10-year-old kid at the time, the kind that spent most of his time in his room reading instead of outside playing. I already knew the X-Men, the Avengers, and, of course, Spider Man. What I didn't know was how awestruck I would be by the cosmic players in Marvel's universe. I wasn't prepared for the wonder, philosophical dilemmas, or the caliber of peril they would bring to my favorite characters. The Infinity Gauntlet event was a six issue mini-series and I read it from start to finish more times than I can remember. It was my best friend for a short time those 27 years ago.

If you're going to spend this much money on a set like this, I assume you already have an idea of what you're getting into. So I won't bother with a review of the individual books.
The box and books inside it are beautiful. Extremely well put together, heavy hardcovers with great paper stock. I can't imagine a better way to present them.
If you're hardcore enough about Starlin's stuff to be thinking about it, it's a great buy.

Because this review is for the Box Set, I will slowly add to it as I get through each book.
Despite the price tag, the box set thus far has been easily worth the price. The packaging is beautiful. The books themselves are standard size hardcovers, however the height and depth of the box/case is the size of an omnibus. The case opens outward to reveal the books and is strong. The binding on the individual books is strong and the paper stock durable. For those on the fence, it is a lot of money, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Gauntlet Prologue: SILVER SURFER (1987) 34-38, 40, 44-50; & THANOS QUEST 1-2. Although I had read the Infinity Gauntlet 6 issue miniseries many times, I had never taken the time to read the build up to it. As such, I wasn't aware that it stemmed so much from Silver Surfer. There's only a story or two in this collection that could probably have been removed, but the stories themselves are so enjoyable, I found myself not caring how some of it would even tie together into Gauntlet. Origins of Drax the Destroyer and finding Warlock in the Soul Gem world with Gamora are truly fun reads and will also be a fun look backwards for people who are only familiar with the modern or movie versions of these characters. Overall . . . more enjoyable than Gauntlet itself. Also a nice step into learning about Eternals (Thanos's brother and father more specifically).
Gauntlet: INFINITY GAUNTLET (1991) 1-6 A quick read. Although the story has dire consequences for the Marvel Universe, the story itself doesn't pack much of a punch. Thanks has the gauntlet and the infinity stones and the Marvel Heroes attempt to stop him. Much of the fun is in the art, as the artists were tested to show the power of the stones and the results they would have when used. A fun read, possibly required reading for anyone calling themselves a HUGE marvel fan . . . but maybe only in some circles . . . there's much better marvel stories out there. Thanos has no warped altruistic motivations in this story. The sole reason for his actions are purely selfish in that he wishes to court death. Fans of modern stories and the films, aren't going to find the complex character they want.

This is the run that got me into comics as a kid. Reading it now after the MCUs take on it, still has the same effect on me.
Prelude, Infinity Gauntlet, and IG Aftermath were very enjoyable and I’m reading Infinity War and Infinity Crusade for the first time. Seeing parts of IG in The MCU was a dream come true.
Infinity War:
This was good, and I enjoyed Thanos’ role as a anti-hero. The two crossover volumes were pretty rough for me but the issues touching on Galactus’ involvement with Gamora, Surfer, and Doctor Strange were good. Maybe the upcoming Infinity War omnibus will put those issues in the correct reading order.
Infinity War Aftermath:
We explore why Adam is in a coma, observe the Inifinity Watch as they try and master their assigned gems, Silver Surfer’s dislike of Warlock, Drax just being an annoying character who was eventually reimagined, and mostly skippable Quasar issues. Overall, there were some bits that were good for the setup of Crusade, but Starlin definitely could have shortened this part of Warlocks’s by several issues.
Infinity Crusade:
This was my first time reading Crusade and while I enjoyed the overall point of the story, I agree this volume in the box set could and should have moved some of the crossover issues into the the crossover books.
This go around focuses on Warlock’s feminine side, The Goddess, and shows is how one’s “good” side is no better than one’s “evil” side. The goddess essentially takes control of all beings with a spiritual side which exposes her nature and not entirely wholesome.
Heroes team up with Thanos yet again. We see more fights between allies. Warlock, yet again, goes on a spiritual journey to learn that living as a being of pure logic is destructive to all the aspects that make us whole beings: good and evil.
