The Universe Ends Here | Thanos Achieves Everything

The Infinity Gauntlet reaches its breaking point. In this double-feature breakdown, we cover Infinity Gauntlet #3 and #4, where the Marvel Universe collapses under the might of Thanos, the Mad Titan armed with the full Infinity Gauntlet.

In Issue #3, Thanos reshapes the cosmos to court Death, Earth slips out of orbit, and Adam Warlock begins assembling the largest coalition of heroes and cosmic entities Marvel has ever seen. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, Doom, Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America and more prepare for a battle they know they cannot win.

Then comes Issue #4 — one of the most brutal and unforgettable battles in Marvel Comics history. Heroes fall one by one as Thanos crushes the Avengers, the X-Men, the cosmic forces, and even reality itself. Wolverine is broken. Spider-Man dies. Thor shatters. Cyclops suffocates. Captain America stands alone in one of Marvel’s most iconic moments.

All while Mephisto manipulates the battlefield, Mistress Death remains silent, and the cosmic pantheon descends to judge the fate of creation.

This episode is the turning point of the event — the moment everything collapses and the endgame begins.
