Having never actually read a comic book superhero book or graphic novel this was a bit of a change for me. I am however rather familiar with Marvel so I thought why not give this audiobook a chance? There were a lot of characters to keep up with but the narration and overall story was enjoyable to listen to.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Wow this was so much better than expected, i've never read a marvel novel, plan on reading this again with my husband

The Avengers: Infinity Prose Novel is a novel that all Marvel (and MCU) fans should read, if they want to see their favorite characters take over a novel. Written by James A. Moore, this was a great experience for me. Though I should probably mention that I personally took advantage of listening to the audiobook (narrated by Dion Graham) in this instance.

The Avengers have once again reached out into the Marvel outerverse, but with Thanos sending his agents (Black Order) after Earth, those left behind will be hard-pressed to save the day. Heroes such as Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Namor ( know: depending on who you ask, Namor isn't a hero) the X-Men, and the Inhumans all feature heavily in this read!

Overall, Avengers: Infinity was a fantastic and fun experience. It really captured the personalities of all the heroes involved – which can be a challenge, given how many there were. I really enjoyed James A. Moore's voice in this story, and look forward to seeing what else he does in the Marvel universe.

Wonderful addition to the world of the Avengers. A new take on the story already told to us by the movie. I felt like this one would relate more to the young or less patient to sit through a movie. It held action, adventure, and more with characters that have been loved or will be loved.

This book would be perfect for someone what wants to learn a lot about the Marvel universe. If one is already a comic reader, this book is redundant. There are too many characters and each one has a mini origin included. Even if one were a new comic reader, one would feel overwhelmed trying to keep them all straight. Mr. Graham is simply perfect as a narrator. He manages to keep all the voices distinct. He shines brighter than the material.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook from the publisher and NetGalley.com to review.

Unfortunately, this audiobook didn't work out for me. The narrator's voice acting distracted me from the story, which was ultimately too bad, since I adore the Avengers as a whole. Sadly, I feel that Avengers stories, for me, need to be in written format. I give the characters my own voices in reading them, and when the narration doesn't line up, it's far too distracting. Good for someone who isn't so tied to the visual representation of the comics and movies, and who can allow themselves to enjoy a story with well-known and much-loved characters in a voice that may not align with expectations.

I feel it would be better read by a cast, as opposed to one narrator. That may have helped my enjoyment, too. It wasn't terrible by any means, and the story itself was perfectly fine.

This absolutely EPIC storyline is truly done justice. The narrator did a fantastic job. But now I know that, for me personally, audio is the wrong format for graphic novels.

Audiobook (book adaptation of graphic novel)- 3.5 stars
Graphic Novel - likely much higher

I am a huge Avengers/Marvel fan, so absolutely jumped on the chance to review this audio for NetGalley. Further, I am disabled in such a way that reading paragraphs of text is now very difficult most of the time. So, I am an avid audiobook listener and so grateful that audiobooks are popular enough that they are made for almost any title that I desire to read.

That said, I still do love a great graphic novel and think that good illustrations lend do very much to the story. In this case, I found certain sections of this epic difficult to follow and listening to this audiobook felt like a lot of work most of the time. But, I am certain that in illustrated format everything would have been clear and so much more fun to read. Regardless, I am super glad that I dove into this title in a new format (for me in this genre).

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and so many of my favourite characters coming together to save the Earth from multiple attackers. I will definitely seek out this title in graphic novel format to see how it compares to my experience with the audio version.

What I LOVED:
* Spending more time with my favourite Marvel characters and their allies.
* Epic storyline, with multiple different angles and players.
* Learning more about the Builders and the history of the multiverse.
* Great narration. The single narrator brought each character to life in such unique ways that I always knew who was speaking. The flow was impeccable and so much life was rendered into the story via this medium. Honestly, I wish that I could have loved this particular epic audiobook more just because the narration was that good.

What I disliked:
* Personally, I like graphic novels better in physical form (and think that a book or audiobook adaptation isn’t the right format for me to engage with this story). I think that without the illustrations, the story loses some context, which makes it harder to follow and less enjoyable. Plus, comics are just so beautiful and bring so much joy. This is just my personal preference, however. I believe that as a stand-alone audiobook, this was rendered in the highest possible quality. If audio is your thing, you might absolutely love it.

Thank you to the author, James A. Moore, NetGalley and the publisher for an audiobook copy of this title in return for an honest review.

An interesting and wide ranging story. It is always different to read, or in this case listen to, stories about characters I am used to seeing in graphic novels. The only thing I had a slight problem with is that the author makes a lot of assumptions about how much the readers would know about the characters. I knew most of them, but there were many I could have used more information about. In fact, I think it would be difficult for anyone not already pretty familiar with the Marvel Universe to get a full understanding of this book. Luckily for me, I know a lot about the MU. The narration was well done. Wide range of voices for the various characters. Portrayed the emotions pretty well.

I think both the story could use a massive do-over. The story is fragmented by so many characters split into different groups, scattered all over the universe. So many characters are listed that do absolutely nothing, and the scenes are underdeveloped and lacking.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an audio copy to review.
Wow ok I am nearly 50 but still a huge and proud comic nerd, so when I saw this on netgalley of course I requested a copy.
James A. Moore may be one of our era's underrated horror novelists and mad respect to him for branching out and signing on to adapt one of Marvel's flagship titles.
He did a fabulous job inserting his voice and style into the story and juggling multiple established characters in a complex plot.
The narrator was awesome, virtually perfect. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

This audiobook was received as an ARC from Dreamscape Media in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This audiobook is seriously one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to and I am not just saying that because I am a huge Avengers fan. The narrator exaggerated and executed each word brilliantly that it literally transported you into the Avengers Universe and part of the action. Everything when Thanos got the golden fist to the decimation of the universe Dion Graham was genius in the narration of the Avengers. I know a lot of our young library community love Marvel The Avengers and are sure to love this audiobook way more.

We will consider adding this title to our Audiobook collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

My thanks to NetGalley for an audio advanced copy.

Avengers: Infinity by James A. Moore and narrated by Dion Graham is a novelization of the sprawling Infinity comics story on Audio book. Reader Dion Graham does wonderful work here, his changing with every character and carrying well the momentous actions occurring and the Godlike forces Earth's defenders find themselves against. The story includes most of the major characters in the Marvel Universe, split between fighting in Deep Space against the race known as the Builders, or back on Earth dealing with the threat of Thanos and his minions. My first audio adaptation of a comic series, but not my last. Quite enjoyable.

Narration by Dion Graham is pretty good. This is a novelization of a prior comic book story; which I have not read. That means that I don't have a good reference for some of the [huge] cast of [Marvel] characters in this story (such as the Illuminati). I had a hard enough time keeping track of all the characters that I already knew about. The Book [and the Avengers] is split into two main stories/plot-lines (not a fan of this technique, I would have preferred two distinct stories instead of two interlaced stories) ... while some of them ally with [fair weather] alien allies to fend off an existential threat from an ancient and powerful race known as "The Builders" (responsibility for seeding life and guiding evolution through the universe aka weeding). In the mean time, the Mad Titan (Thanos) and his Black Order invade earth, taking advantage of the weakened Avengers to advance his own interests ... which are not entirely clear at first. About half way through everything settles down into a more interesting story and by the end I started to enjoy it.

I was given this free advance review copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
