Infinity Gauntlet

A good story with plot twists and an uncertain finish

I read this to get a sense of the original story before the soon to be released MCU Avengers movie. Although a couple of plot elements may be retained, I don't think the movie will bear a lot of resemblance to the comic. Without the Adam Warlock character (who has not appeared in the MCU movie universe yet) the plot will stray quite a bit from the comic. Looking forward to the mixture of the Guardians of the Galaxy with the rest of the Avengers characters.
While this graphic novel is pretty self-contained, I still wondered what else was going on with the characters in the start and those who weren't included. There is no real time-frame within the story. The lack of any member of the Fantastic Four made it feel very stand-alone rather than a true universe-altering plot line. When I was finished, it felt like the story took place over the span of a couple of minutes.
Overall, I'm glad I finally read this book.
