Infinity Wars #1

A mysterious, hooded figure bearing the infinity symbol dominates the cover of this 2018 Marvel event opener, gauntlet-powered fists crackling with violet energy as they stand over a fallen, glassy-eyed Thanos. Captain Marvel, a red-caped Doctor Strange, Ms. Marvel, and a host of other heroes fill the fiery red background — their expressions a mix of shock and defiance — suggesting the stakes here are cosmic in scale. Writer Gerry Duggan and artist Mike Deodato Jr. set a striking, ominous tone right from the first page of this six-issue series.
