While the Avengers have been saving the universe, the Earth is under the grip of Thanos and his Black Order. Infinity #6 is the final chapter of the Marvel epic by Jonathan Hickman and an all-star team of artists.

 

In the finale – the heroes must take back the Peak space station and break the alien blockade to reach Earth and a showdown with the Mad God of Titan. Executive Editor Tom Brevoort tells Comic Book Resources how Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are living up their namesake.

 

“As soon as they finished battling with the Builders this problem with Thanos and the Earth has turned up, and that’s very much the lot of life for an Avenger. So they’re immediately off into this scenario, and in all likelihood, because we publish comics every month, once the Thanos problem is wrapped up there will be some other problem that requires their attention. It’s a fairly unforgiving existence.
They do have time to process things. It just happens to usually fall on the 29 days in between one issue and the next issue. [Laughs] When those after effects materially affect the story that we’re telling then you’ll see the effects of these things on the printed page, but the reality is we have an Avengers cast in excess of 16 members and we have 20 pages an issue.
So right there you’re going to be making storytelling choices, and you’re not necessarily going to be able to show every effect a situation, encounter and engagement has on somebody. Except for when whatever that after effect is is so significant that it becomes a thing to be dealt with as the characters are dealing with whatever the new situation of the moment is.”

Captain America recruits the Guardians of the Galaxy to take back the Peak. Both are teams are important to the future of the cinematic Marvel Universe. When you look at this story and the way Marvel movies are falling into place could Infinity be the comic book story that inspires the script for Avengers 3 when the heroes are rumored to be taking on Thanos?

 

Infinity #6 arrives next Wednesday.
