10 Comics You Must Read Before Avengers: Endgame

9. Infinity Gauntlet

The premise of Avengers: Infinity War was heavily based on the Infinity Gauntlet storyline. This is a story filled with love, loss, and vengeance that was a major hit with readers long before the MCU was even a thing.

The popular purple baddie's motivations in this aren't very righteous - or at least what Thanos believes is righteous - unlike in the movie. In the comic, The Decimation is a result of Thanos's huge crush on Lady Death. Attempting to close the deal to impress the grim reaper, who only gets off on life expiring, he decides to lay the snap down with the infamous golden glove of destruction.

The rest of the pages of this infamous piece of comic book lore has the leftover Avengers coming together to undo what Thanos has done. Considering that the events taking place in Avengers: Endgame will have the same motivation, Infinity Gauntlet is definitely a must read before the film's premiere.
