With a direct connection to the current Avengers titles, and with a writer known for sprawling, big-idea, science hero adventure, Infinity promises to hit my own personal comic crossover sweet spot. Think the first Secret Wars or the underrated Operation: Galactic Storm crossover. 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.
