Worth it for some more Annihilus sightings! Cosmic Marvel in the house.

Worth it for some more Annihilus sightings! Cosmic Marvel in the house.
Avengers and cosmic allies must fight the march of the Builders as they sweep towards Earth, meanwhile Thanos attacks. Another OHC I'm just getting around to from my shelf in 2015, this is another Hickman outing (I erroneously read his Secret Wars before this) and it's an enjoyable read. Annihilation really whet my appetite for Cosmic Marvel and this has elements of that with a lot hearkening back to similar plot lines of Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest. It was amusing watching Annihilus spout his various asides and hiss menacingly during the various council meetings, while the Brood queen watched on. Some great art too, now I'm moving on to the companion volume. Recommended! (j4.)

    Do you want to know why this is a 5 star? Because you can pick up the book, with absolutely no knowledge of what's going on, and still be engrossed in the story so much you don't want it to end. Art is nice and most importantly, flows logically from panel to panel. You can take a shot on pretty much anything Hickman has written. He's, if not the best writer, top 3. Aaron is amazing too.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2015
    I have not been enjoying Hickman's run on Avengers and New Avengers. The incursion storyline, wherein other reality Earths are crashing into each other so that "everything dies," is actually pretty boring. It amounts to the Illuminati making bombs to potentially destroy a world that is set to collide with "ours" all the while Captain America and the Avengers race around the planet being too late or unable to change anything. All the activity is futile. So, I approached Infinity with mixed feelings. I hoped the incursion storyline would be resolved but was afraid it would be more boring talk about how they can't do anything to stop it. I was wrong on both counts.

    Unfortunately, the incursion storyline will continue and recent announcements by Marvel indicate it will end with the upcoming main event, Battleworld. So, the Illuminati continue to wax on about how doing what is necessary will destroy their souls. However, Infinity managed to be entertaining because it introduced a new (old) enemy for the rest of the Avengers to contend with.

    The ancient race of Builders is on its way to Earth and they are laying waste to civilizations, Empires, along the way. When the Avengers intercept distress calls from the Shi'ar, they head out in to space to confront the approaching fleet before it reaches home. Iron Man stays behind to prepare defenses in case the Avengers fail; his real purpose is to monitor and stop incursions (which Cap and the rest are unaware of). While the heroes are away, Thanos decides to attack and enslave Earth. And of course, he has an ulterior motive also!

    A lot of plotlines overlap and run concurrently through the story, which kept me engaged. Further, the Builder fleet is so formidable it takes the combined efforts of the Shi'ar, Spartax, Brood, Kree and more to even challenge it. There are many epic battle sequences, but also drastic casualties. More than once, it looks as if the Avengers might only attain a Pyrrhic victory, except that Captain America is an unparalleled strategist. It was great to see the Avengers in peak form, showcasing what makes each of them special against unbeatable odds.

    The downsides of this event is that it was essentially meaningless. Thanos and the Builders are nothing compared to the Incursions (and a host of other ancient species that Black Swan mindlessly rattles off) and this victory won't stop the universe from ending. *sigh* Overall, I enjoyed this mostly because it was a breath of fresh air after the stagnation of the flagship series. Recommended.

    The tale that Hickman gives in this book is amazing overall. The prelude to Infinity is a nice touch and sets up the main story well. The Black Order are an interesting set of characters, and live up to their threat. The plot itself is good, continuing where the New Avengers/Illuminati are dealing with Incursions, while the Avengers take charge in space to combat the Builders. The confrontation with Thanos was done well, and Thane is a character well done. The artwork is amazing and captures the attention for readers. Overall I would recommend this book, though for those that have not read on Hickman's run on Avengers and New Avengers might be confused.

    Yes aspects of this story are a bit similar to previous events that have occurred in the Marvel universe, but so what. All of the pieces put together are simply a thrilling ride.

    As each story converges with what has been happening in Hickman's Avengers the stakes continue to rise. All together makes a story that is the reason I read comics.

    The book itself is masterfully put together also. Since it combines Avengers and New Avengers they have cut and spliced the story into chronological order. It makes the read a breeze.

    You can't go wrong with this book.

    This was an excellent read. The artwork was outstanding. However, this is part of a larger story beyond this book. So, more reading will be required to understand exactly what is going on--Hickman's New Avengers and Avengers. The Thanos and the Black Order storyline is great. I highly recommend this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Finalmente un buon crossover Marvel
    Reviewed in Italy on January 20, 2015
    Dopo molti crossover della Marvel che hanno convinto poco per trame improbabili o finali deludenti arriva Infinity.
    Una storia corale su diversi fronti che convince per la trama soli che si compone di 2 eventi che convergono nella stessa storia.

    Questo volume raccoglie la miniserie principale più i numeri delle testate maggiormente coinvolte e necessarie per seguire lo svolgersi degli eventi, tralasciando tutte quelle storie riempitivo che di solito si porta dietro l'edizione italiana.

    Hickman si conferma come uno degli scrittori di punta della Marvel degli ultimi periodi.
    Le matite sono affidate a nomi come Deodato Jr, Opena (qui immenso), Leinil Yu e Jim Cheung, tutti in splendida forma.

    Un volume davvero bello da leggere e rileggere.

    Consigliato!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Old-skool Thanos in a contemporary space opera
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2014
    This OSHC (not an Omnibus) collects Infinity 1-6, New Avengers 7-12, Avengers 12-23 & Infinity Infinite Comic 1-2 and features pages of variant and composite cover art.

    There are many ways to evaluate and review a book. Perhaps the most telling is how quickly you read through it. At over 600 pages this is a big book, but I read it in just three sittings which for me is the ultimate compliment.

    After more than a decade of Brian Bendis dominating Marvel, this book feels so utterly diffent. Hickman has already proved his credentials on his substantial, highly original FF run and is clearly the right man to take the Avengers galactic.

    Although this follows Bendis’ Thanos vs Avengers cash-in, ahem arc, there is no mention of it here. This is old school Thanos, leading a band of accolytes in the way that Jim Starlin used to write him, before he became a self-pholosophising, introspective nihilist. And given the title' Infinity' you might be expecting some remix of Starlin’s Infinity Gauntlet, which this isn’t. In fact it’s far more of a space opera (in the style of D’nA) than a cosmic odyssey (in the style of Starlin or Marz). There are many genre reference points throughout and the inevitable nods to iconic imagery - Hickman is clearly having some fun but the narrative is played straight.

    I won’t spoil the plot, but you’ll probably want to catch at least a couple the preceding Avengers instalments to be up to speed with this big story. It ties in well with recent marvel events across the MU (and sets the scene for follow-ups) and is written in a mature and straightforward style. Dialogue is in character, without a ‘whoof’ or a ‘boom’ anywhere!

    Hickman goes for realism throughout, with Hulk pretty much just the very strong human in a spacesuit, while it’s rightly left to the heavy-hitters Thor, Hyperion, Smasher and Captain Universe to engage with the serious stuff. Refreshingly, Hickman clearly views Thor as Marvel's powerhouse as he always was, but bucks the 'nu marvel' trend. Most of the art is great, some small bits not so. Yu has come on since his highly confused layouts but still has a way to go. Artistically, closing Surfer instalment is a treat to behold.

    Since Marvel updated the OSHC format the pages have got thinner and the covers (underneath the jacket) feature a mono art detail of the interior art. This book has Galdiator and Cap grimly observing a space battle as it unfolds - a perfect summary image of this story. After the run of faintly preposterous, dissapointing ‘events’ Siege, Fear Itself, AoU etc. (most of which smacked of lazy, money-generating cynicism) this feels like a genuine landmark event in the Marvel continuum and sets the scene for many ongoing concepts. Long may Hickman continue.
