Infinity Gauntlet

This is a weird one. It’s a little bit Starship Troopers, a little bit Princess Mononoke, plus some Thanos and Gaurdians of the Galaxy. Though, at it’s core it’s a horror movie about a Family trying to survive a world taken over by bugs. Anwen Bakian and her family are just trying to see tomorrow when she stumbles across an Infinity Stone deep in a bugs nest and where the stones go so does Thanos. Disguising himself as friend and protector he guides them through the bug infested world looking for the ultimate weapon.

There’s a lot of character in this story, and I found myself rooting for the Bakian’s a lot. Especially their dog Zig-Zag who get’s his very own Nova suit. It’s well worth the read, and I’m bummed that we don’t get more of it in All New All Different Marvel.

Honorable Mentions:

Ultimate End: If you stuck with the Ultimate Universe for any of it’s tenure then you may as well see it through and pick up Bendis’ and Bagley’s goodbye to the Ultimate Universe.

Secret Wars: Battleword: The first half of Issue #1 managed to be one of my favorite Secret Wars stories with a version of Punisher who is also the host of Doctor Strange’s ghost fights a Frightful Four made up dick versions of Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man and Ghost Rider. Shit’s awesome. Issue #3 also has an All-Wolverine Mind Trip with at least 6 different Logan's.

A-Force: Not the best story, but definitely set the stage for All New, All Different Marvel’s A-Force. Putting Captain Marvel, Medusa, and She-Hulk all together on a team works, even though they can't get along for the life of them. The introduction of Singularity as a character got me hooked. She's a fun little enigma and I’m excited to see her story explored in the new A-Force monthly comic.
