@Harvey. Is that all in the six books??

[HarveySwick]

Those scans are from Thanos Quest #2!

[HarveySwick]

 

All I know is that Thanos was a genius! Must have been the mind gem!

 

There's no way Daredevil disappearing was a coincidence! Thanos KNEW he had to get rid of of' Hornhead! He was afraid of facing the Man Without Fear!

Thanos was actually affraid of Ben Afflecks' portrayal of DD

So many books to get!!

 

Can someone shoot me a PM or post of what books I need to get for the story.

 

Do I have to start with iron man 55?

 

Thanks

[southerncross]

IG is good by itself, Thanos quest is a good prelude on how he got the infinity gems, And Silver Surfer 34 -59 To enjoy the ride we had back in the 90's.

 

I don't have the books anymore I sold 98% of my collection 2 months ago and only have 230 books I decided to keep.

It would be very informative if someone has the books and can post a order for the above books to be read in, I think this would be great for new people discovering this amazing story for the first time. thanks :-)

The Thanos Quest #1-2

Silver Surfer #44-50

Quasar #24

Cloak and Dagger #18

 

Main Event

Infinity Gauntlet #1-6

Silver Surfer #51-59

Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme (Vol. 3) #31-35

Nice Job Harvey.

 

Read Thanos Quest 1 & 2 first the do IG 1-6 next. The rest is at your leisure.

 

For other fun Thanos stuff read

Thanos 1-12 Mini Series

Avengers Annual 7 and Marvel Two In One Annual 2

Death of Captain Marvel

SS 34-60 is awesome as well.

Great list Justin! I have most of them, but am picking up the stray crossover books that I missed the first time around.

 

And if you want to go to the "next level" beyond all that, here is a list of the Infinity War ( aka: Doppleganger Special ) crossover issues:

 

Alpha Flight: 110, 111, 112

Avengers West Coast: 96, 97

Captain America: 408

Daredevil: 310

Deathlok: 16

Dr. Strange: 45, 46, 47

Incredible Hulk: 383

Iron Man: 294

Marc Spector Moon Knight: 41, 42

Nomad: 7

Quasar: 38, 39, 40

Silver Sable and the Wild Pack: 4, 5

Silver Surfer: 67, 68, 69

Sleepwalker: 18

Warlock and the Infinity Watch: 8, 9, 10

 

 

Infinity Crusade has some crossovers as well

 

 

[mangbus]

For the more modern quality reads > Not IG Related but Thanos centric

 

Thanos Imperative 1- 6 (w/ Ignition and Destruction)

Thanos: Infinity Abyss 1- 6

Marvel: The End 1- 6

 

I enjoyed all of these as well as all the titles everyone is listing from the 80s/90s.

 

 

 

[mangbus]

Marvel needs an IG Omnibus... just sayin

 

[retrothecollector]

Great list Justin thanks!

[HarveySwick]

I was just thinking this on the way to work. Why not include TQ, IG and all of the tie in /crossover books. My guess would be they'd release it around the time of the movie (if they're smart!)

+1...great way to onboard and acclimate young or unfamiliar comic readers.

 

The WD compendiums have been great for getting some of my friends interested in the WD comics.

[ItsJustRyan]

It would be great it they released these compendiums with the crossovers mixed in so that you could get everything in chronological order

[ZaCrew]

I'm surprised this thread hasn't brought more interest to Iron Man 55 in the BA section.
