Earth has been marked as an “Avengers World”, protected by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and more from the deadliest threats facing humanity. A powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers! But even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united Avengers Universe is there any chance of survival!
With our heroes at the other end of the universe, who is left to protect Earth? Enter Thanos, the galaxy’s most ruthless threat and an unparalleled force of brutality who brings order to the chaos of life through murder. The greatest threat to the Mad Titan’s work—and perhaps the universe’s greatest hope—is something he created leaving no world safe. Earth’s last hope may lie in the hands of a man who can level cities with a single whisper: Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans. But can the fearsome leader of a race hated and feared by his world, lead his people against Thanos? If they fall, so does the Earth—and the entire universe with it.
The Biggest Heroes. The Biggest Threats. The Biggest Sacrifices. This is Marvel’s Infinity.
Written by New York Times best-selling writer Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by superstars Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver, INFINITY is a six-issue comic book event debuting in August with an oversized first issue.
“Events stories simply don't come bigger than Infinity,” said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “ Jonathan Hickman is joined by three of our top artists — Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver — to deliver an epic tale that covers all corners of the Marvel Universe and narrows the gap between Earth and the cosmos like never before. It's called the 'Marvel Universe' for a reason.”
Thanos by Jim Cheung
Readers get their first look at Marvel’s Infinity for free on Saturday, May 4 as part of Free Comic Book Day with FCBD: INFINITY. In this all-new story by the creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Jim Cheung, witness the opening shots of the war that will be heard around the galaxy. Plus, relive Thanos’ first solo story which has never been reprinted till now!
“I'm very excited about Infinity for a number of reasons,” said Hickman. “First, I think it's wonderful that the story is coming organically out of what's been going on during Marvel NOW!. Things that we've seen unfold in AVENGERS, NEW AVENGERS, THANOS RISING, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and others are the catalyst for Infinity. And second, for me personally, Infinity is the first big step in a series of big steps that make up the long term plans for the Avengers books I have the privilege of writing. It should be a lot of fun.”
Every issue of INFINITY includes a code for a free digital copy of that same comic on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and Android devices. Additionally, each issue of INFINITY features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app, including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your reading experience at no additional cost.

-
Black Bolt is supposed to be a big part of it too

-
When did the Falcon start looking like the Black Sauron?
-
That's not the Falcon is it? I thought the Falcon was on the Minorivengers team.
-
falcon is just pulling double duty like ironman, shuri, black bolt and a few others
-
Thanos and his generals
-
Covers of infinity

In the photo with Thor, Falcon, Hyperion, Cyclops, and Monica Rambeau, who in that yellow ? ?

-
@evol - That yellow ? (Ex Nihilo) showed up in the 1st couple of issues of the rebooted Marvel Now Avengers (main) book.

He and this chic created some "black" looking dude named "Adam" who is supposed to be the perfect lifeform or some ? , if I remember correctly.
I need to go back and reread those issues. -
Oh. And that ain't Cyclops in that pic. That's some chic named Smasher. The 1st Earth born member of the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard.

That origin story sounds an awful lot like Adam Warlock. I don't like it. My ? Warlock is unfuckwitable.
-
This Adam cat sound like warlocks backstory. I don't like it. Oh that girl Smasher. I need to get my marvel now on now. I have been catching up on old comics for about 3 years now.
-
LMAO @ The Biggest Heroes. The Biggest Threats. The Biggest Sacrifices. This is Marvel’s Infinity.
they cant be serious, cant wait to see them top this
with that
-
Infinity gauntlet will never be topped. Starlin is the ? of this comic book ? .
-
I wouldn't say it topped the IG saga, but Annihilation was damn good.
-
been a few years since i really read anything, will be interesting to see how thanos is a bad guy again

Nightmask and Starbrand are originally from the New Universe books that came out several years ago (pretty good and more of a down to earth telling of superheroes). Marvel even did a New Universal a few years back trying to reintroduce the New Universe into Marvel and that's what we have here with the Starbrand and Nightmask. Nightmask's origin has been greatly changed from his original concept though. Starbrand first made it's appearance in an old Quasar book..at one point, the Starbrand had merged with Quasar iirc. -
I have a feeling Thanos' generals will end up being his children.

Now that u mention it, I DO remember this happening. Crazy how long ago that was (late 80s/early 90s).
Spitfire was my favorite from the New Universe line.
