A fun read, considering its Marvel, but a bit confusing and hard to really get attached to when I didn't really know half the characters involved. I found myself more concerned for specific character's well-being than everyone as a whole, simply because I knew (and therefore cared) more about those specific characters. It also left some stuff unresolved and I felt like I really had more questions than answers in the end. Still, worth getting some background knowledge for the eventual movie.

Stakes are really high for this arc. Bad that half of living creatures disappeared but even worse when worlds were disintegrated and natural disasters killed what's remaining of the Earth.
There's urgency in Warlock's conversations yet there's some mystery to it. It seems he's just reacting to whatever will happen next though by the end he seems figured out what he wanted to do to get that gauntlet.
I like how the battle went from hopeless to hopeful then hopeless and again, as narrated by Eros. Even with the celestials and Eternity they were powerless against Thanos and the gems. And a little folly, unchecked ego, failed him. Usually it's these trivial things that cause failures and render our success worthless.

Bİr kişi elinde sonsuz gücü bulundurursa bunun verdiği sorumluluk ve bunun getirdiği yük nedir, ne değildir bunun cevabını veriyor The Infinity Gauntlet. Bazı açılardan pek tatmin edici bulmasam da "güç" kavramını en güzel şekilde açıklayan eserlerden birisi. Infinity War öncesi okumak gerekiyordu... Ve görev tamamlandı!

Pretty great, but a bit less cool than The Thanos Quest.

In order to impress his paramour, Death, Thanos kills half of the universe using the Infinity Gauntlet. The remaining half of the universe, guided by Adam Warlock, is pissed off and means to stop Thanos at any cost...
As part of justifying my Marvel Unlimited subscription, I decided to finally read The Infinity Gaunlet. Hell, I'm only seventeen years late. On the heels of reading Warlock: The Complete Collection, I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully, this one was a lot easier to digest.
The Infinity Gauntlet was probably the most ambitious crossover to date when it was published in the dawn of the 1990s. Starlin resurrected his pet project, Adam Warlock and wove a tale of epic destruction. Basically, the remaining heroes of Earth team up with Warlock and the Silver Surfer to try to strip Thanos of his godhood. It doesn't go well.
For a 90s book, The Infinity Gauntlet is surprisingly readable and the art stands up well. Hell, it's George Perez being George Perez for most of the issues. Ron Lim is no slouch either.
The interplay between Warlock, The Silver Surfer, and Doctor Strange is my favorite part of the piece. I also like that some of the heroes know they're way out of their element. Thanos swatting the heroes down like gnats was pretty satisfying. One of my favorite character elements was Doctor Doom trying to swipe the Infinity Gauntlet for himself, like everyone knew he was going to do.
I don't actually have any big gripes with this, surprising for a comic from 1991. I thought Quasar went out like a chump and most of the heroes could have been left out. Wolverine survived a little too long. Other than that, no complaints.
The Infinity Gauntlet is an interesting piece of comic book history that holds up surprisingly well today. Four out of five stars.
