Collection of comics where avengers came face to face with the mad titan
Most of comics in this collection were average or mediocre. But some stories really stood out. Favorite charcter was Adam Warlock. The funeral speech by Captain Marvel was also great. I know I'm to old to be reading comics(maybe not) but I still wanted to understand what it felt like. I am happy I tried.

I tried. I really did. I made it roughly halfway through this collection before giving up, remembering why I’ve always avoided superhero comics.

A various collection of comics smashed into one online graphic novel. Overall it was as expected for earlier made comics. The graphics translated well in digital form. But it just wasn’t up to par with the typical Graphic Novels you see in 2019.

Random comics with thanos in them and no throughline. Surprisingly poorly written, cool old school artwork though.

Was finally able to finish this 1973 run after starting a couple of years ago. I loved that it brought in so many side stories and characters plus all the big names and how they all come together to show not just the full threat of Thanos but how he was defeated.

Super Cool
With all the hype around the infinity war movie, reading the comics was really cool. It really increased my anxiety over the conclusion though as Thanos’ might is even stronger in the comics 😩

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this book is that it contains mesmerizing, ridiculous, angry, drug fueled work of three of Marvel's most rebellious rebels and, while the three are hardly talked about anymore in this age of Bendis, Morrison, Brubaker, et. al., this stuff is pivotal to the big budget, mega-billion dollar "Marvel Cinematic Universe" of today. Almost every single Marvel film has referenced this stuff in some way. And now it's all dovetailing into this work itself.
Englehart, Gerber and, especially, Starlin. You get all three in this volume (maybe not always at their best) shaping the once and future Marvel. They must find it hysterical given how contentious their relationship with the company often was.
Anyway, as others have pointed out, this covers a hunk of the same material that the complete Warlock by Jim Starlin collection does and that book is far more of a pure expression of what was wonderful about this formative period in Marvel's "Cosmic" history. That said, this is still some outrageous, over the top, fun and will tell you everything you really need to know about the demi-god who was in love with Death, Thanos.

Avengers had very little to do with Avengers and mostly Captain Marvel. Leads up to Infinity titles.
