I know generally what happens but would like to go back and pick up the series and all relevant tie-ins. I poked around online and have seen some lists but they all seem to differ a bit.
Does anyone have a list or know where I can go get a list? I thought this forum might be able to help.
thanks all!

Same here. Because I read Marvel digital and they drop the price after 6-8 month I'm always behind on that (and try to overhear spoiler in the Podcast). Right now I'm starting with the first issues of the Marvel Now relaunch. I try to gear up for Infinity and started with Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, FF and Avengers. Are there other relevent titles I shoud pick up as a lead in to Infinity? I find the Inhumans pretty cool in pre Marvel Now FF. Though I always tried to avoid digging to deep into Marvel, because there are millions of Avengers and X-Men titles that just confuse me. Hawkeye and Daredevil are just the right stuff. But thats offtopic

It's a pretty heavy undertaking, but massively rewarding, as far as preparing for Infinity goes if you can read all issues of Avengers and New Avengers that go before it then you'll enjoy it to it's fullest. That being said, you can probably read all of the issues on the list in that pic I posted and still get a great deal of enjoyment from the series.

What huw posted is pretty much all you need to read. Thanos Rising is skippable to save some money. Spoiler for Thanos Rising below to tell you the one think you might need to know for Infinity. Thanos is out to kill all of his offspring. All you need to know.

The Hickman graphic/chart thing is perfect except you're gonna want to read the Avengers Assemble and Captain Marvel tie-ins, too. They're phenomenal. All the others I read are skip-able.
For a lead-in, Avengers/New Avengers is all you need. In fact, those series in tandem are really better than Infinity. But I like Infinity, too.

The omnibus, which is out in February (I think) is reasonably priced and has a ton of content. Order it online at half price. Seriously, the price to content ratio is a big win and I think the story warrants purchase.

There's the Infinity trade coming out in Feb, and the monstrous 1248 Page Infinity Gauntlet omnibus coming out in July, but I haven't heard anything about an Infinity Omnibus.

That's a pretty sweet deal for $37. If you bought all 26 issues in singles it would cost slightly over $100.

Yeah, and there is a companion that has Heist and that other mini plus tie-ins. So, all told you would spend maybe $80 on everything Infinity related. Quite a deal and the art is just so good. Excellent addition to any shelf porn.

Jesus that's cheap trade for that much content. I don't think I'm smart enough for Hickman's writing, nor do I really want to read it, but I might pick it up for that price.
