DESCRIPTION
Published in 1992 by Marvel Comics, 'Infinity War' was a significant crossover event written by Jim Starlin, with art by Ron Lim and Al Milgrom. As a direct sequel to 'The Infinity Gauntlet,' this storyline explored the cosmic elements of the Marvel Universe through the machinations of the Magus, the dark alter ego of Adam Warlock. The Magus aimed to conquer the universe using five Cosmic Cubes, creating evil doppelgängers of Earth's heroes to spread chaos. The event unfolded across multiple Marvel titles, including the main 'Infinity War' series (#1-6), and involved numerous superheroes such as the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four. Key characters included Adam Warlock, Thanos, Doctor Strange, and the Silver Surfer. The storyline was part of a trilogy, followed by 'Infinity Crusade,' and had lasting impacts on the Marvel Universe by further developing its cosmic narrative. While the event was praised for its ambitious scope, it was noted for not having the same impact as its predecessor, 'The Infinity Gauntlet.'
