Reddit mentions of Infinity Gauntlet

This isn't exactly Marvel Studios related but there are A LOT of Marvel comics available on Amazon right now for very cheap. For example, Infinity Gauntlet is only $2.20 on there, marked down from $24.99. I should note the sales are for the digital versions that can be read on Kindle and/or Comixology.

You can find all of the adaptations in digital form on Amazon. It says "Kindle Edition" on the Amazon site, but if you buy that edition you can read it through the Comixology app as well. As for which ones are worth reading, here's a super quick rundown of a few worthwhile iterations:


Thanos Quest is the prequel to Infinity Gauntlet. It follows, as the title implies, Thanos on his quest to find the Infinity Stones across the galaxy and the deceptions he employs to take them from their caretakers, the Elders of the Universe. Its a very fast read, and because it features the Elders so heavily I would say its worth checking out for an idea of how the MCU Elders might be employed in the upcoming movie.

Infinity Gauntlet is arguably the most famous appearance of the Gauntlet and certainly flaunts its destructive power the most. Many of the iconic scenes having to do with both Thanos and the Gauntlet come from this adaptation.

The Infinity War is the followup to the above adaptation. Even though it shares the title of the upcoming movie I doubt much of this will carry over. The big issue is the lack of Adam Warlock in the MCU, who is a critical part of this storyline. To try and adapt it without him would be pretty much impossible.

Infinity is probably the best bet for an adaptation to read in advance of the movie. Details have leaked that most of the Black Order, who feature prominently in this, will make appearances in the movie, and there is a lot of setup going on in the MCU Phase 3 for a lot of the subplots in this event. By and large the longest of the iterations discussed here (I think it's in the ballpark of 500 pages), but it's clear there will be a lot of concepts and plot points adapted from this.


There are few more adaptations out there (Infinity Crusade for one) that are are worth checking out, but I would say stick with Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet, and Infinity if you want to have the best sense of what to expect from the upcoming movie. Like the other MCU films, don't expect them to copy anything wholesale, but there are plenty of key moments and subplots that will surely make an appearance from each of these stories.

...that turned out to be a much longer writeup than planned. Hope it's helpful!
