ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

NO ONE works alone on a book like this, and a lot of times the driving forces behind the scenes get missed. To that end I’d like to acknowledge the people who have, through their efforts, made this book better than it would have been otherwise. Heartfelt thanks to Vivian Cheung, Nick Landau, Laura Price, Paul Gill, Cat Camacho, and the superhuman Hayley Shepherd from Titan Books; and to Jeff Youngquist, Caitlin O’Connell, Sven Larsen, and John Nee from Marvel Comics.

A heads-up to C. B. Cebulski, because once upon a time he helped me more than he knows. Glenn from the Comic Book Palace, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, was a lifesaver when it came to research, and I thank you kindly, sir.

And, of course, Steve Saffel from Titan, who has to work with my drafts and make them coherent, is an unsung hero, as well. Thank you, Steve, from the bottom of my heart. Doubly so for letting me play in my favorite sandbox. The original graphic novel, Infinity, was written by Jonathan Hickman with Nick Spencer. It was illustrated by Jim Cheung, Jerome Opeña, Dustin Weaver, Mike Deodato, Stefano Caselli, Leinil Yu, Marco Rudy, and Marco Checchetto. I hope I managed to do your works justice. Thanks very much for the ride!
