DC Comics

If you were looking for the comic that is pretty much DC's Infinity War, look no further than Cosmic Odyssey.

Although there's a decent argument to be made that pretty much any of the Crises would also fill that requirement, most are also pretty complex. There's nothing wrong with that of course - the Crises are some of the greatest DC stories ever told - but something more self-contained would potentially be better.

Enter Cosmic Odyssey, a 1988 series written by Jim Starlin and drawn by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. It is Starlin's name, however, that'll make those Infinity War comparisons immediately apparent, as the writer also helmed the saga that's currently inspiring the MCU's cosmic-based Avengers films.

Just like Infinity Gauntlet, Cosmic Odyssey brings together some of the biggest names in the DC Universe to tackle a whole new threat, with the New Gods, Batman, Superman and Green Lantern just some of the names involved. With that in mind, if WB look to bring the Justice League back together in the future, this is the comic they should look to.
