Just and update. All these titles are on Marvel Unlimited now except Sleepwalker #7.
Just letting y'all know the Spider-Man mentioned in the list is the 1990*s comic.
It's a kinda short side-story but features Thanos and Death.
Just noticed that 'Infinity Gaunlet' (in numbers 1, 3, 5, and 6) should be 'Infinity Gauntlet'.
It's ridiculous that Avengers: Infinity War comes out next year and there is no way to buy these collected or read them on MU. I have been using MU for the past year and this is the first story arc that I've needed to search out physical back issue copies for which is a pain since there are very few local comic stores where I live. Marvel should at least bring back the omnibus for a decent price like $50.
I think That Silver Surfer #51 does isn't part of this... don't u agree? it is not important to this story...
It’s all about Galactus getting ready for Thanos, and Surfer detouring on his way to Earth I think it fits
Impossible to pick up this omnibus anymore for a decent price. I can't believe Marvel hasn't gotten these all up on MU by now. Does anyone know if the rest of these issues are collected in various trades that might still be available?
Hey, it looks like this list has a mistake. Infinity Gauntlet #5 seems to come before Silver Surfer 55 to 58. I just checked it out first hand.
You think it reads better before those issues?
No. I was mistaken. There was fake out that threw me off. At the end of SS# 56 it says to continue in Infinity Gauntlet #4 then back to #57 & 58. Sorry!
Wow. Marvel Unlimited has just about NONE of these titles.
Only ones I could find are the main Infinity Guantlet issues and associated Hulk issues.
Kind of a bummer.
Yeah the entire Infinity trilogy is largely uncollected in Marvel Unlimited.
I've been seeing a lot of these comics reissued in collected editions lately, with Infinity Watch and Infinity War in particular. Hopefully that will be making its way to MU shortly.
