  Infinity Crusade identifies Marvel's most religious superheroes
In Infinity Crusade #1 (June 1993), a powerful and mysterious being known as the "Goddess" recruits a large number of leading Marvel superheroes to serve in her crusade.
The Goddess is actually the "benevolent" side of Adam Warlock, somehow split off from him, and she uses mind control to cause various heroes to think that they are willingly enlisted in her plan to bring about a new golden age for the universe.
The Goddess was a manifestation of the "benevolent" side of Adam Warlock, and she planned to use these heroes in her crusade to rid the galaxy of evil and usher in a new golden age of peace.

In the realm of Death, Thanos lead Warlock and the Infinity Watch and they observe a recap of the Magus's origins and how he came to be alive once more.
It is revealed to them that while Warlock held the Infinity Gauntlet he purged himself of good and evil and thus gave Magus being once more.
Nevertheless Infinity Gauntlet was able to go from point A to point B in simple logical steps that anyone can understand.

 The religion of Sasquatch (Walter Langkowski)
Infinity Crusade: Sasquatch was one of 33 characters who were identified as the most religious superheroes in the Marvel Universe in Infinity Crusade (June 1993).
Barring any actual solid evidence in the characters' own books, you could always fall back on the Infinity Crusade and see which sides the characters were on in that conflict.
In many cases, it [Infinity Crusade] is the strongest canonical reference to many of the characters' religious stance.

 Goddess (Adam Warlock aspect; Infinity Crusade)
(Infinity Crusade#4) - Moondragon requested the Goddess' aid against the incoming assault, but the Goddess could spare none of her concentration from her crusade, and the satellite was destroyed, forcing those aboard to flee back to Paradise Omega and preventing them from interfering with the heroes' approach.
(Infinity Crusade#5) - As the Goddess began to harness the universal will to override the inhibitions of the Cosmic Egg, Thanos unleashed the full power of Dreadnought-666 on Paradise Omega, straining its force fields to the limits while he teleported with the comatose Professor X into the core of the planet.
(Infinity Crusade#6 (fb) - BTS) - Unable to stop the Goddess by force, Warlock succeeded in using his presence within the Goddess to access the Cosmic Egg, causing the Goddess and the rest of the universe to see the illusion of her goal occurring seconds before it would have occurred.

 Pulp and Dagger -- Review
Not having read The Infinity Gauntlet when it was first published, I went into it with mixed expectation.
The Infinity Gauntlet starts out reasonably well (even if it turns out there were some comics that led into this, meaning we spend a few pages recapping events, explaining how Thanos got his gauntlet).
At least with Infinity Gauntlet (despite spawning two sequels, Infinity War and Infinity Crusade) you can read it, close the book, and be done.

 s u b v u l t u r e - Infinity Gauntlet Provides Dreams Of Universal Conquest!
Here's a guy who went out and killed off some of the lamer comic legends to attain the Infinity Gems, which are kinda like what that girl from No Doubt sometimes wears on her forehead, only they had special powers.
As was the case with the Cosmic Cube, Thanos subconsciously planted the seeds to his defeat, allowing his charred granddaughter, Nebula, to seize the Gauntlet.
While Infinity War did have a slight charm, the plot oversights were more obvious than those in any given episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Infinity War (Infinity War 1-6, Marvel Comics Presents 108-111, Warlock and the Infinity Watch 7-10; w Jim Starlin; a Ron Lim, Tom Raney, Angel Medina, Shawn McManus).
Oddly, there were two minis between Gauntlet and Abyss (Infinity Crusade and Infinity War), but these have not been collected, and from the numbering of the volumes, it looks like they won't be.
INFINITY ABYSS follows in the legendary tradition of Jim Starlin's acclaimed INFINITY trilogy.

 SpiderFan.org - Comics : Reviews : Infinity Crusade #3
Needless to say, as these are epic gang adventures, specific many (most) characters are relegated to standing around in crowds, having a line of two or dialogue, or perhaps a panel or three of action per issue.
Such is the case with Spider-Man in this particular series (in other Infinity titles he had a greater or lesser role in the adventure).
This material is used for the purposes of informed discussion, and is not intended to interfere with Marvel's right to use said material for their own commercial goals.

 Adam Warlock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soul Gem, one of the Infinity Gems, allowed Warlock to sense the souls of others and draw them into a dimension contained within the gem.
Warlock was soon forced to separate the Infinity Gauntlet's gems to separate bearers after the cosmic beings of the universe and the Living Tribunal deemed Warlock unworthy to carry the Infinity Gauntlet.
Warlock kept the Soul Gem for himself, and split the rest of the gems among the members of the Infinity Watch including his friends Pip and Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, and one mysterious, unseen person who was later revealed to be Thanos himself.

 The Infinity Gauntlet Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Infinity Gauntlet set the stage at Marvel for line-wide crossovers and tie-ins that would last through the ‘90s and up to today, though Gauntlet itself was much more self-contained.
It also kicked off what became the Infinity trilogy with Infinity War and Infinity Crusade, neither of which had as much heart and focus as Gauntlet.
His first godly act is to fulfill a promise he made in the prelude to Gauntlet, collected in the Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos trade, to wipe out half of all life in the universe.

 Thanos: The Infinity Abyss Review - Silver Bullet Comics
It was the return of Jim Starlin to Marvel and his favorite cast of characters after having driven them into the ground with the Infinity Crusade affair, and yet it came and went without so much as a whisper.
The title itself, in the tradition of the Infinity series of the early ‘90s, is actually rather deceptive, as Abyss lacks the scope, consequences and ambition of the previous event series.
The cast of the Infinity Watch, minus Drax, team with Thanos, Captain Marvel (Genis Vell), Doctor Strange and Spider-man in an attempt to stifle one of Thanos’ plans gone awry and save the universe.

 COMICON.com: Infinity Abyss
But, if this fourth Infinity series is as bad as the third one he did (Infinity Crusade i think?) then I don't think they'll be rushing to do a fifth!
I'm with you there, the grim and gritty realism is good for comics like Daredevil and Punisher, but there should still be a segment of the Marvel Universe that is full of wonder and fantastic elements.
IC was right after Infinity War and I think Marvel just wanted an Infinity crossover every summer since the first 2 did so well, but you could tell Starlin was getting low on Infinity ideas.

 The good, the bad, and the sucky Marvel storylines!!
Infinity War and Infinity Crusade (Infinity War and Infinity Crusade #1-6)
The Infinity Gauntlet was a very good series also, with the exception of its ridiculous ending.
The thing that sucks about the Infinity War and Crusade is that they're not much of a surprise and present pretty much the same story as in the Infinity Gauntlet.- A great threat to the Universe rises, Earth gathers up a couple million superheroes that are easily defeated by the holder of infinite power.
