Orig. Published: April 20, 2011
The Story: (hide) The startling conclusion to the Infinity Gauntlet arc takes the Avengers into the heart of the cosmic universe and reveals an all-new cosmic entity. Who will wield the Gauntlet and what price will they pay for choosing to do so? Also, Iron Man has betrayed the team and will now have to pay the price!! Another blockbuster chapter of Marvel’s number one ongoing series by Bendis and Romita!! PLUS: Another chapter of the oral history of the Avengers!

I picked this up for Jack at Alakazam. I read it pool side during Waterpolo.

Another fun issue. I think this is the one with Dr Strange pretending to be Thanos, which is awesome. I really like Dr Strange and would like to see more of him.

I liked that the story was actually finished & that Captain America was co-opted into the conspiracy–I hope that comes back and bites him sooner rather then later!

Fans seem to feel that this arc kind of fizzled out & I am not so sure, but I am not really sure what I am supposed to expect from a book that has never ever wowed me & I am not sure how it would…
