My favorite Marvel event comics have been this kind of universe-hopping sci-fi epic, highlighting the company’s more traditional characters like The Avengers, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. I haven’t been able to say that about any major crossover event comics since Final Crisis. It’s tough to judge after a single issue, especially one that weaves so many different plot strands together, but Infinity #1 is a first chapter that leaves me wanting more. It’s not just another round of heroes fighting heroes in New York, but a cosmos-spanning story spiraling in around our home planet. Infinity is an event comic that feels like a legitimate event. ![]() ![]() The Last Continent: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market):Ĭarpe Jugulum: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Jingo: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Hogfather: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Maskerade: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Interesting Times: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Soul Music: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market):įeet of Clay: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Men at Arms: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Lords and Ladies: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Witches Abroad: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Reaper Man: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Moving Pictures: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market): Guards!
