Exclusive First Look: Marvel’s ‘Infinity: Against The Tide’

August 13, 2013

Age of Ultron was a psych-out. Marvel’s true summer event is Infinity, a massive, galaxy-spanning epic from Jonathan Hickman, and the first issue drops tomorrow. However, we here at Crave Online have been gifted with the opportunity to let you know that Infinity #1 comes packaged with a free Infinite Comic called Infinity: Against The Tide. That’s right – if you buy Infinity #1 in print or in digital form, you’ll get this bonus tie-in Infinite Comic free.

For the uninitiated, Infinite Comics is the format of the future, where Marvel specifically designs comic stories for digital reading, unfolding moment by moment exactly as the script does rather than in full page layouts. Daredevil writer Mark Waid gave Crave Online an Infinite Comics video tutorial last year, if you’d like to know more. They’ve done it with Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy and Wolverine so far, and now, the Silver Surfer is getting in on the action once he bears witness to a swarm of mysterious genocidal robots attempting to wipe out a Skrull-populated world.

Check out Crave Online’s exclusive preview of Agustin Alessio’s breathtaking art from Infinity: Against The Tide, written by Jason Latour.

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
