I'd be interested to hear if, considering the reveal of the Disney Infinity video game (Skylanders style figure and game) announcement of a few weeks prior (), if they are planning to launch a tie-in Marvel Infinity video game and figurine collection.

Note - I copied the press release from Marvel and I've just noticed they spelt Jim's name wrong in the bold section!

That's what it looks like. If it weren't for the usage of characters like Medusa or Rogue or Beast, I would have assumed that it would be a cross over between Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers. I wouldn't mind some FF, Uncanny Avengers, and All-New X-Men in there, but I do hope that this thing doesn't become anywhere near as big as AVX was.

Well at least it's not a hero vs. hero.nonsense that Marvel loves doing.

This. Looks. Epic!

Don't think I've ever read a Thanos story. Hickman's worlds are pretty awesome, I hope auxiliary book writers don't screw it up too much. Looking forward to it.

PRO- Big Villain brings together all the heroes
CON- Space. not really a space guy.

glad it's hickman though, we're Probably safe from a "Final Battle against everyone in New York!!!"
