There is a good way, buy it as a trade (all-arc-in-one), like this one (http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Gauntlet-Jim-Starlin/dp/0785156593). As long as you have a small amount of awareness of who the main folks in the story are (which you will if you've seen any of the Marvel movies), you should be good to go!

most big comic bppk arches are availabe as trade paperbacks. search for comic name + TPB and you'll find it.

The comics are NOT like the movies. We don't have a script for the MCU Infinity War so we have no idea which comics it will borrow from. If past MCU movies are any indication, it will borrow from many different series spanning decades.

That said, there is a very popular 90's event(s) called Infinity Gauntlet that was followed up by the Infinity War:

> you'd think so, but superhero movies have never increased sales in single issue sales, because unlike an adaptation of a novel, there is no original source material to pick up.

Most of the Marvel movies have been partially based on a preexisting stories. Infinity War, Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, and Civil War for example. Granted the source comics can be very very different from the movies.

> The fact is that while comic book fans might watch the movies, movie fans don't pick up the comics, as such the comics & the movies need to be separate entities.

This is true but part of the reason could be how different the current comic books characters are from the movies. Example: you love Iron Man in the movies. You go to the store to pick up Iron Man comics. There are two Iron man comics on the shelf. One has Doctor Doom in it and Tony Stark is nowhere to be found in the whole comic. The other has a teenage girl as the star and Tony Stark is a hologram side character in his own book. Do you buy the books? Or do you just leave and not buy anything? Sales certainly seem to indicate the latter and lord knows there is plenty of anecdotal evidence as well.

I mean Game of Thrones and Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings all got sales boosts after the movies were successful so I don't see why comics would be any different.

If you want to get into Marvel, here's some good recent-ish starting points I recommend checking out:

u/BBEnterprises · 7 pointsr/Marvel

This comic is "The Infinity Gauntlet" in which Thanos gets his hands on all of the Infinity Gems; this makes him pretty much all-powerful. He literally becomes God. Since Thanos is kind of a dick, this doesn't bode well for reality or its inhabitants.

Adam Warlock leads a plan to wrest control of The Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos' hands and an incredible comic ensues.

It's only $20 on Amazon, I highly recommend it. Your local comic store can order it for you as well, which is probably the better route to go.

u/waitingonmyclone · 7 pointsr/marvelstudios

It's a good time to read The Infinity Gauntlet graphic novel if you haven't already. You can see how everyone fits in, and Nebula actually plays a key role.

u/PhotonCommander10 · 6 pointsr/Marvel

All three of those storylines you can read just the core series, and it still makes sense. Tie-ins are usually there just to make the event come across as more large-scale.

Just FYI, Age of Ultron the movie isn't based on the comic series. It's a name-only thing. I really enjoyed it, but the general consensus is that it was terrible, so you might want to be cautious of that one.

u/Doctorofgallifrey · 4 pointsr/Marvel

Omnibus has all the tie-ins (which you don't really need), while [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Gauntlet-Jim-Starlin/dp/0785156593/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408451414&sr=1-1&keywords=Infinity+Gauntlet) just has the main infinity gauntlet story

Although, if you can also get your hands on The Thanos Quest (which serves as a prequel showing how Thanos acquired the gems), that's worth a read

u/xeiah · 3 pointsr/Marvel

There are a bunch of tie-ins, but I've found that Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet are sufficient. Unfortunately the omnibus, which collects all the tie-ins, is a bit pricy. However, both Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet are on Marvel Unlimited.

Also, I would recommend watching [Marvel Explained's](Infinity Gauntlet Leadup: One Above All: http://youtu.be/GqgrZWwMvy4) videos. They'll give some more background on the obscure characters.

u/Elranzer · 3 pointsr/FanTheories

Or pay the measly $15 for the real thing.

u/Jagdpanzer_E_100 · 3 pointsr/TheMonkeysPaw

Granted, you are given The Infinity Gauntlet and immortality from being killed by this specific item.

u/arkain123 · 2 pointsr/starcraft

It's a saga called Infinity Gauntlet.

u/iwrestledabeartwiceq · 2 pointsr/Marvel

Check out this reading guide! Everything from the beginning up until Infinity Gauntlet is a must read for the character, but after Infinity Gauntlet it's best to skip to the modern age stuff; a reading guide for that can be found here. Thanos plays an important part in Annihilation and then comes back at the end of the run, but Thanos Imperative is kind of confusing and the emotional impact is lost if you don't read the stuff in the middle.

After that you've got Thanos Rising which is a modern telling of his origins (which is controversial amongst fans but I enjoyed it). From there you can go to Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers which includes Infinity where Thanos is one of the main antagonists and plays a part throughout the rest of the run.

Jim Starlin, Thanos' creator, did three graphic novels over these past few years but they really range in quality, and the continuity is weird. (Liked the first, second was dreadful, and the third was the best)

If this all seems a bit overwhelming and you just want to pick up a few trades, the ones I have in my collection are: Captain Marvel & Thanos' Origins, Essential Thanos/Warlock, Thanos' Rebirth and Prelude to Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity Gauntlet, and a handful more but those are the ones I'd recommend highly!
If you have any more questions about anything I'll do my best to answer them!

u/Varranis · 2 pointsr/Marvel

See below. Reading Jason Aaron's Thor first, then Cates' Venom, then Absolute Carnage is a really rewarding reading experience for new/returning readers IMO. That and Thanos Wins + Cosmic Ghost Rider are what got me back into comics.

Thor: God of Thunder #1 - #11 by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic (#1 - #5 are on Kindle unlimited here)
Thanos Vol. 2 #13 - #18 by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw
Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 - #5 by Donny Cates and Dylan Burnett
Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic
Venom Vol. 4 #1 - #6 (on Kindle Unlimited)
Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin and George Perez
The Vision #1 - #12 by Tom King and Gabriel Walta

I've heard Hickman's Fantastic Four and Avengers runs are very good as well, but I haven't read them myself.

Some ongoing books worth checking out are:

House of X / Powers of X
Immortal Hulk
Venom
Absolute Carnage

u/johnnyboyyy23 · 2 pointsr/comicbooks

Good picks!

Also, I have a stupid question. Do you get the entire story if you buy the graphic novels like this? Like is all of Infinity Gauntlet or Old Man Logan contained in these collections? I'm always confused when looking for story arcs to buy.

u/Nscope90 · 2 pointsr/comicbooks

Hey buddy. Just fyi, r/comicbooks will be the last place that says your strange and or weird for liking comics, dive deep into em for goodness sake! I'm 26 and I started collecting at around 21 myself. It's been nothing but a pleasure and I'm glad I got myself into the world of comics. I sincerely understand why you have that concern but you should ask yourself this, while we're experiencing the medium of comics surge in popularity like never before, isn't now a better time than ever to unashamedly dive into it?

Physical books are absolutely still strong in the medium and are showing no signs of losing their relevance in the market.

I would suggest you start with these two books for a broad first look into the big two publishers Marvel and DC.

https://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Gauntlet-Jim-Starlin/dp/0785156593

This storyline is what the entire series of Marvel films has been leading into. It features a vast array of characters in a plot that's easy to follow and requires only a very basic knowledge of Marvel's roster of characters to get to grips with it.

https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Dark-Knight-Returns-TP/dp/1563893428

This book is widely regarded as one of the best if not the best Batman story. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough.

If you have specific characters in mind that you want to explore, try the search bar in this sub for previous posts asking about them.

u/Anus_Blenders · 2 pointsr/movies

Lol thanks. My old account was Anus_Blender without the s and I deleted it. Then I regretted it and made this.

Anyway, Civil War is pretty good. It was controversial at the time because a lot of people felt like Marvel made the characters do things way out of character. I liked it though. But if you like Iron Man you probably don't want to start there.

Infinity is a recent-ish event. I loved it. It takes the Avengers and puts them in a cosmic setting. There are giant space battles, Thanos, and all sorts of good stuff.

There's the entire Annihilation group of stories. Guardians of the Galaxy spawned from that and it's really good.

For older stuff there are so many... but Infinity Gauntlet is a classic cosmic story about Thanos pretty much killing everything. Walter Simonson's Thor run is pretty much required reading for any Thor fan.

This is getting long so I'll just stop. There are tons of good ones out there and your taste may be different from mine. I'd look here for more.

As for buying physical copies, you could look on Amazon or your local comic shop. I only read digital so I can't say much about that.

u/CynicalRaps · 1 pointr/marvelstudios

Nope, $25 brand new in store, and as low as $12 paperback on Amazon . Also no, the original infinity War comic is a 6 issue arc immediately after Infinity Gauntlet story . The one you listed was a Warzones/Secret Wars tie in story.

u/ShaneSupreme · 1 pointr/FriendsOver40
u/DaftlyPunkish · 1 pointr/Marvel

I found it for about $23 at Vintage stock or you can get it on Amazon here.

u/PizzaTheHutt415 · 1 pointr/shield

Definitely check out the actual Infinity Gauntlet comic story arc if you havent. There is some really good stuff in there

u/xTheCartographerx · 1 pointr/Marvel

I haven't read much of the comics so the weekend before last I bought Civil War and Infinity Gauntlet, which turned out to be very prescient purchases given Marvel's announcements the following Tuesday. In any case, I've really enjoyed both, so I would recommend Infinity Gauntlet. Word of advice though - the Infinity Gauntlet that I bought begins with Thanos having already acquired the infinity stones, so I would back up a bit farther if you want the whole story.

u/drock45 · 1 pointr/Marvel

Without going into too much detail: Infinity Gauntlet followed by Infinity War.

Civil War (as for tie-ins, I recommend Spider-Man and Front Line )

Someone else will have to give you more info on Thor. There's Thor: Ragnarok but I don't know much about it

u/grubas · 1 pointr/NYYankees

Depends on who you want. I love Age of Apocalypse. You could dig up the original Infinity Gauntlet series, I believe that's available in trade paperback.


If you can find a comic store they should have like 230 page books that are compressed comic series.


Like this



But if you go in theres these great mini runs that are only a few comics that range from dumb but funny or just weird. Like "Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe", or "Marvel Zombies"

u/GiantJacob · 1 pointr/comicbooks

I understand why you are weary to ask for specific books, but there are some books that are important to the marvel universe or comics in general which would be pretty safe bets.

For Instance:

  • Marvels, which is the history of the marvel universe through the eyes of a reporter for the Daily Bugel. Shows events from the Namor and the original Human Torch, to Captain America, to the X-Men, to Spiderman, to Galactus. Really cool depiction of the marvel universe.
  • The Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos tries to take over the universe. Very well recieved event that the 3rd and 4th Avengers movies will be "based" on.
  • Secret Wars, much older than the other books so much campier style, but it was (I believe) the first big crossover book from any publisher. Its also where spiderman gets the black suit that turns into venom and great moments throughout.
  • Annihilation (All three books), Was a relaunch of Marvel's Cosmic line and sets up for all of the cosmic books for many years to come. Very cool book. Can read with no prior knowledge whatsoever.
  • Watchmen, Good book, very important to the comic medium itself. Published by DC but not set in that universe.
  • The Dark Knight Returns, Again published by DC but very important to Batman and comics in general. And who doesn't love Batman.
  • Any charcter has at least one trade that is good standalone and is important to the character, but without knowing your preferences I can't recommend specifics

    Even if these arn't your absolute favorite books, they are relevant to the history and there is a pretty high chance that you will want to read them at some point.

Infinity Gauntlet

If you're going to see the movie, you might want to read that. It's good for a comic. It sticks to the story and doesn't go off on tangents like some series do. Get the actual book though, not digital version. The digital is a pain to read, requiring zooming and scrolling.

Or just say that's for nerds and move on. That's an acceptable option too.

u/Bletchlypark · 1 pointr/comicbookcollecting

I have this so I can read it and not touch my originals.

u/Skelthy · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Superman Red Son and All-Star Superman. Both are really good stories worth checking out!


I'd love to have this.
