Brian Clevinger's Infinity Gauntlet, you say?

[thanekos]

Yup.

In the vein of Spider-Man and the Secret Wars, this August brings another all-ages retake; a four-issue mini, Avengers and The Infinity Gauntlet, written by the Nuklear Power dude and drawn by Brian Churilla.





AVENGERS & THE INFINITY GAUNTLET #2
COVER BY: Ron Lim
WRITER: BRIAN DEAN CLEVINGER
PENCILS: BRIAN ANTHONY CHURILLA
INKS: BRIAN ANTHONY CHURILLA
COLORED BY: MICHELLE J. MADSEN-STEWART
THE STORY:
FILLLLLLHERRRUPPPP!!!! Half of Earth's super heroes have vanished, and an all-new team of Avengers have assembled to find them. Ms. Marvel! Wolverine! Spider-Man! Dr. Doom!...wait, wha-HUH!? But faster than you can say "BACK STAB" the team rockets into space to save their lost teammates. But first things first: they're going to need gas. Space gas. Only one man can help: the meanest mother trucker in the galaxy, US ACE! So pop a squat at the Star Stop!

US ACE IN SPACE! And yet, I was expecting Razorback.

should be interesting, though; wonder if they'll do Thanos as chaos worshipper again?

this isn't the first thing Clevinger's doing for Marvel, though; he's also writing the backups for the Wolverine/Captain America World War Hulks two-shot.

And giving us, in the process, Nextwave flashbacks drawn by Gurihiru, from the POV of a Hulked-out Monica Rambeau:



who is, evidently, fueling her rampages with these memories:



so, yeah. this and its companion, Spider-Man vs Thor are pretty good, if not just for watching Hulked-Out Heroes cathartically beat each other down with somewhat interesting introspections and dialogue.

So wait, is that a new story about Thanos with the infinity gauntlet making half the universe's population instantly cease to exist... or is this a 'avengers' story that takes place during the original Infinity Gauntlet saga?

May David Lee Roth (blessed be thy name) strike me down for saying it... a "re-imagining" of the Infinity Gauntlet saga.

It's Marvel Adventures Infinity Gauntlet, basically.

What comic is the Nextwave stuff from?

[stubbleupdate]

Having read the post, I'm going to suggest it's a Hulked Out Heroes book. All of the information is up there

World War Hulks: Captain America vs Wolverine.

Both books were about 60% awesome, 30% eye-roll and 10% *shrug*, in my opinion.

[cainofdreaming]

The little heart burned on the toast is +22.537% to the awesome level of that panel.

Clevinger needs to write more Nextwave.

[stubbleupdate]

Here's a request for somebody - compile all of the "sleeping Avengers" covers into one big post.

Hey, Hulk needs his beauty sleep, yo.
