Finally read The Infinity Finale. It has to be the last one Starlin's doing. Even had a foreword with Warren Ellis saying "thanks for all the Thanos/Warlock work".
And yes, it does read like a "What If", but then, all of these stories have.
Some people might just scoff at just how high up the proverbial food chain Thanos and Warlock get on this one. But it's either maraphysical, philosophical Thanos/Warlock that we know and love or deal with the snarling, angry, cosmic babydaddy that Marvel has given us to prep for the movies.
Me personally, I enjoyed the way all the plot threads in Starlin's lil mini-epic were resolved, with all questions answered.
Except Mephisto not knowing magic.
There's also a few scenes that some folks are gonna have mixed reactions on. One of them silly, one of them being about as Byronic a happy ending as you're gonna get from a Starlin penned cosmic story.
And one where Thanos steamrolls the shyt out of the hulk.
Hey, if you don't like the story, you can at least appreciate Ron Lim drawing cosmic, cause really, nobody does that better.
All in all, I give the entire run at good 4.25/5.
