With the artists team of Jim Cheung (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Avengers & X-Men – Axis), Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver, Marvel Comics have had comic-book writer Jonathan Hickman (Secret Wars, Time Runs Out) concoct the 2013 major crossover comic event “Infinity”. Issues from many other monthly ongoing series like Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel, Fearless Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mighty Avengers, Nova, Secret Avengers, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Thunderbolts also served as the tie-in issues of this cosmic Marvel adventure.

Rumor has it that even though the 2018's Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action release of Avengers: Infinity War takes the legendary "Infinity Gauntlet" arc as their primary plotline, 2013's "Infinity" crossover event will also shape the film's plot to a modern setting. Elements from the crossover such as introducing the Black Order as lackeys of Thanos in the film to do his bidding is possibly one of such. Instead of Black Order, his lackeys are referred as Children of Thanos in the film and Black Dwarf among them is named Cull Obsidian, which is actually an alias for Black Order in the comics.

In this event, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are trying their best to fight and oppose the power of the pure darkness. The Red Hulk faces The Thing of the former Fantastic Four, who has now turned into one of the herald Angir, Breaker of Souls and engages in one of the destructive battle of Marvel Universe that destroyed the Avengers Tower within a moment. As the tower falls, Red Hulk makes a final stand against the mighty Angir with all he has left but gets an even severe beating in return.

The rest of the heroes find themselves in Brazil against The Incredible Hulk, who has become another lieutenant for The Serpent, named Nul, Breaker of Worlds.

Dark Avengers – Assemble | Comics

Norman Osborn now controls a powerful super-hero team as his "Dark Avengers" to do some good or serve his twisted version?

In a surprising turn of events, Norman Osborn ended up saving Earth during peak of a full-scale "Skrull Invasion" by killing their Queen. Tony Stark is removed from his position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and replaced by Osborn. He made a pact with a secretly formed group called Cabal that has divisive figures like Doctor Doom as its members.

He hired former S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Victoria Hand to help him establish his new organization H.A.M.M.E.R. before firing Maria Hill. Bullseye is called in shortly afterwards to fly with him to New York, Avengers Tower. Norman asks New Avengers member Carol Danvers to join his new team but she straight out refuses and fled off.

He approached Karla Sofen AKA Moonstone at Thunderbolts Mountain to become Ms. Marvel for him. Next up, Osborn goes to see Mac Gargan with a medication that would contain his monstrous form into more presentable state. He then recruited Daken Akihiro from a diner at New Orleans where he came looking for a job.

Norman convinced Kree warrior Noh-Varr at The Cube into joining his cause as Captain Marvel. His next employ is Ghost to unlock a secret stash of armored suits that once belonged to Tony Stark. He builds a suit of armor similar to Captain America's costume for himself called "Iron Patriot" and then went to public with his all-new Avengers.

Dark Avengers – Assemble | Comics

Dark sorceress Morgana le Fay has been looking all over for Victor von Doom after he betrayed him earlier. When Doom was being escorted back to Latveria by Osborn's men, she attacked them with an army of demons at her side. Report of this attack is received by Osborn and he led his new team of Avengers for their very first mission.

He orders The Sentry to go all-out and he does so by simply tearing her head off, which shocked his teammates. Morgana reappears in a moment, causing Sentry to suddenly explode and she confronted Ares by forcing Venom to violently attack him. She then turned God of War into stone right before being killed again by new Hawkeye.

Though unable to move in his armor, Doom responds to Norman as he proceeds to carry his ally out of battlefield. Despite his unwillingness to share, he eventually shares his armor interface with Osborn to access his time machine. Together, they go back to Morgana's time and Victor sent her to 1,000,000 BC using a spell unknown even to her.

Going back to present time, Doom revives Ares from his state with a reverse spell but Sentry is presumed dead. On their way back to New York, Victoria Hand informs her boss about Clint Barton going on media to expose him as former Green Goblin. To which, he tells her to arrange an interview with the network to nicely sort things out.

All of a sudden, a blinding flash of light hits them all and they all astoundingly look at a very-much alive Sentry coming to them. Norman approaches and asks him about how he is feeling now since they all saw him die in Latveria. Trying to resonate with Bob and calm him down by talking to him, Osborn even removes his helmet to talk.

Later that day, an Atlantean terrorist group leads an attack in Los Angeles and members of Cabal were called to meet up. Prince Namor is asked to denounce those extremists publicly and help Ozman to capture them. They had a disagreement on how to approach this situation and it causes a troubled side of Osborn's persona to slip.

Drax the Destroyer | Comics

He befriended Iron Man, aided The Avengers and Mar-Vell to destroy The Mad Titan when he wielded the Cosmic Cube. However, he was absent when Thanos obtained the Infinity Gauntlet and was defeated again. Thinking Mar-Vell has robbed him of the chance to defeat Thanos, Drax attacks him but soon they band together to save Titan from ISAAC. He meets his daughter Moondragon and she eventually caused his demise.

Years after when Thanos was resurrected by Death, Drax was brought back to life as well and he becomes a member of Infinity Watch, alongside whom he witnessed Infinity Abyss, battled Hulk, Mephisto and an enraged Thor (Blood & Thunder). Upon the Watch getting disbanded, he drifted and was framed for a massive Skrull genocide (Earthfall).

He opposed the Annihilation Wave with Richard Rider, before finally killing Thanos. Following the Phalanx Invasion on Kree empire, led by Ultron, Drax joined the newest team of Guardians of the Galaxy alongside Adam Warlock, Gamora, Groot, Phyla-Vell and Rocket Raccoon, reassembled by Star-Lord. When he was trapped in the Cancerverse, with Star-Lord and Nova, Drax killed Thanos over and over again (The Thanos Imperative).
