Infinity by Barry Reese (#1 - #3)
The Cast: Warlock, Gamora, Ms. Marvel, Nova, Mantis, Captain Marvel
Antagonists Faced: Count Abyss, Thanos, Dark Warlock
Stand-Out Character: Dark Warlock
Best Moment: The many deaths, rebirths, and deaths in Issue #3!
Infinity is MA’s first foray into the cosmic landscape of our universe and it is an ambitious and exciting. After the events of the Annihilation Wave, the cosmic landscape of the MA Universe has changed and the remaining threats out weigh the sources of good remaining…until Adam Warlock steps in to plug the gap. Joining him are Gamora, Ms. Marvel, Nova, Mantis and Captain Marvel, all drawn to Warlock’s purpose and desire to save as many lives as possible.
Warlock’s missions are not entirely clear so far, and the flies in the ointments of an alternate reality and evil version of Warlock and the continuing threat of Thanos, hang over the series, and the attempts to restore Eternity and Infinity was an outstanding way to kick off the series, with our heroes facing down Lord Abyss. The creation of Infinity Station is the answer to Knowhere and allows for an endless possibility for stories going forward, and the political interactions with the Shi ‘Ar and others will make for fascinating reading.
Characterization is spot on, especially for the most important characters (Warlock, Thanos, Nova) and the hanging ending of issue #3, with Dark Warlock having imprisoned Gamora and Pip in the Soul Gem, blowing up the just resurrected Warlock and Thanos, and heading for Infinity Station to destroy the rest of the team was a terribly tantalizing place to hang the story and I hope the resolution comes sooner rather than later. This is an ambitious start for MA’s space age, one that hopefully will be followed up on very soon, and I’m very excited to have it and Barry involved with MA!
