Good lord, did you see the final trailer for Avengers: Infinity War? In case you’re the last comics fan who hasn’t, here it is:
Cannot wait.
But here’s something cool to savor with it: Marvel Comics Digest #6 will be out 4/18 — the week before the movie officially opens 4/27 — and it’s chock full of Avengers classics, including the first appearance of the Mad Titan himself, Thanos, from Iron Man #55.

Marvel Comics Digest is co-produced by Marvel and Archie Comics, masters of the mystic digest arts. They’re sold not just in comics shops but at various retailers nationwide.
And I just love the idea of some kid seeing one at a store after the movie’s over and begging Mom or Dad for one.
Then discovering for the first time Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Jim Starlin…

That Iron Man 55. Great cover! Obviously Starlin channeling his inner Buscema or Sinnot’s finishing touches make it so. Great either way.
