Deadpool and Death can't get it on anymore cause Thanos made him immortal.
To be fair, Deadpool still has Bea Arthur.

Thanos: The Hand of Death

Barry White? AWESOME.
BTW, have you read CAP/Reborn? Am I the only one who thinks Brubaker ripping off LOST is bad writing, not storytelling genius?

I love the Infinity Gauntlet because it was the basis of the Marvel Superheroes arcade game. Now it Marvel stopped making crap like killing off Wasp, ruining SpiderMan's marriage and introducing the Red Hulk I would gladly return to reading their comics again.
How many parts of Marvel Zombies are there? 4? 5?

I loved The Infinity Gauntlet. The only thing I found disappointing was how ludicrously easy it was for Thanos to get the gems from the Elders in the first place. Hell, I probably could have gotten one or two of the gems from those bozos.

Hmm, Death is hot.

There's more then one death, remember death of rats?

Too bad they didn't have a panel of Thanos juggling planets on a galactic unicycle, that woulda really driven the idea that the gauntlet makes him powerful.
-
07.24.2009 - 23:12 | AnimikeanDeath really looked like Raven in the panel she had skin in, uh
(bad crossover, BAD!)

Halo: Uprising
supposedly was to tie Halo 2 and 3 together...turned out to be about some guy and his brother who was a dick.

Try and honestly tell me that Thanos isn't a ripoff of Darkseid. Besides their very similar apperances, Thanos is also an incredibly powerful Titan of a villian who is after some legendary item (anti-life equation) that will allow him to kill all life in the universe (control all life in the universe).
-

Darkseid believes that the universe is a chaotic place that needs to be replaced by a single overriding will - his, and that can be accomplished via the Anti-Life Equation.
Thanos is in love with the entity known as Death and wishes to do everything in his power to win her favor.

Thanos was the response of Marvel to DC's Darkseid.
They are very similar in appearance, but in time, they have had their own unique signature in the comics.
Thanos = Nihilism
Darkeid = Tyranny

You know....it sorta makes sense death being a woman...
Although you have to give the guy kudos, he was planning to wipe out zillions of lives just to win the affections of a woman that kills people for a living...a match made in hell.
You know Linkara, I would love to see your take in The Dark Knight strikes again or perhaps Long Halloween in five panels. Because lets face it, one is made of awesome, and the other is just very trippy....Who knew brianiac looked like a giant frog?

Fun :)
Also, Any plans on Marvelman, now Marvel's picked up the rights?
-
07.25.2009 - 03:21 | shintigercurlnaw. deadpool isnt interested in death anymore, since he got married and all.
-
07.25.2009 - 04:34 | KendrelBut yeah, The Infinity Gauntlet ROCKS.
Where are the infinity gems now, anyway?
-
07.25.2009 - 05:01 | pharmmajor
Infinity Gauntlet did rock, especially because it featured the bald and beautiful Moondragon.
... what? She looks pretty good without hair.
-
07.25.2009 - 05:04 | ProfessorOtakuWithout this, there would have been no Marvel Super Heroes. So at least there was that.

After the Cluster@#$% that is Countdown, I believe Linkara deserves to do a positive review and summarize the AWESOME-NESS that IS INFINITY GAUTLET!
-
07.25.2009 - 06:14 | CR!
Wasn't there a video game about this. Where you collect the stones and get super powers...ur...more superpowers.
-

Wow, I never realized how much Danny Phantom's 'Reality Gauntlet' is a rip off of the Infinity Gauntlet.
-

I liked how this one didn't have a narration over each panel, and looked more of a "montage" up until the last panel. (Which was hilarious.)
I know Sandman had Death as a female entity, but I didn't know Marvel also did the same. (Despite Marvel still making her look like the Grim Reaper, which makes those first few panels all the more hilarious.)
Pointless side note: The name of my warlock's voidwalker in WoW is "Thannos". Which I always thought was pretty awesome.

What is this bizarre infatuation with comics and having some form of the words "Infinite" and/or "Crisis?" in the title?
-
[quote=CR!]Wasn't there a video game about this. Where you collect the stones and get super powers...ur...more superpowers.[/quote]
Yup. It was called "War For the Gems" or something to that effect. The
storyline though was good. Infinity War and Infinity Crusade were great. The
others? Hmm....Not so much. I wasn't a fan of Infinity Abyss.

It's all about making things epic. That's one of the rules to making a grand storyline. Titles have to be epic and draw people in with their adjectives or just one word like "Onslaught" or just something mysterious like "Secret Wars".

07.25.2009 - 09:22 | Richard WeskerEh, never read TIG, I was into X-Men at the time. Maybe I'll grab it in a trade one day.

Different gems, different effects
Time-speed up
Space-superarmor [no flinching when hit]
Reality-cheap projectile support
Mind-AutoEnergy Special gain
Soul-Healing Factor
Power-Attack up
Some of the characters had special effects like
Power+Spidey=Double spidermans between opponent
Super Armor+Juggernaut or Magneto=Enhanced Super armor silver flashing juggs /magnetic barrier for magneto
Reality+Psylocke=Kage Bushin No Jutsu!
Reality+Black Heart= Invisible
All the gems were Thanos' Super Specials in the last fight
It was the sequel to Xmen COTA, and all the characters from those series eventually made it through to the Marvel Vs. Capcom series, some kept the infinity gems abilities [or some variation] in later games like:
Wolverine's speed up
Jugg's Power up and SuperArmor
and Magneto's force field

I love those CI5P Videos. I'm not a big comic book reader myself, though and most of the times I don't know all the characters (aside from the ones who've been in movies) but I'm interessted in to become one. Which is a good comic to start with that?
on a side note:
Did anybody already do the "till death do us part"-Joke?
If not, I call dips!
-
[quote=Coldguy]Did they use those Gems in a fighting game?[/quote]
Yup. Marvel Superheroes War of the Gems
[url]
http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/War_of_the_Gems[/ url]
It was loosely based on the storyline. Eventually the gems were split amongst several D list Marvel supers and eventually Marvel's Iluminati.
