!! ''Infinity Wars'', ''Infinity Warps'' and ''Secret Warps'' provide examples of:

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: The visions of Thanos that Gamora keeps on seeing throughout the event. Are they simple hallucinations, or are they a sign that the Mad Titan is not quite dead]]? [[spoiler: The following Guardians of the Galaxy series heavily implies the later.]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: Requiem, who is really [[spoiler: Gamora]], and [[EldritchAbomination Devondra]]. Devondra is an [[SoulEating eater of souls]] who threatens all life in the Soul Gem and ultimately the universe, while Requiem plots to feed said life to Devondra so she can shape the new reality Devondra will weave upon being satiated.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Warlock and the others are able to save the original universe and the universe of the Infinity Warps, but doing so led to Drax being left behind in the universe the Warps originally inhabited. The Infinity Stones now have their own souls. Moondragon and Phylla-vel are saved, but Gamora is exiled to another world away from their wrath. Worst off, Warlock feels like a piece of him is missing.]]

** This isn't the first time Loki has gotten involved in a crisis crossover event that held revelations about the nature and origins of the Infinity Stones. The first was Marvel's other multiverse crossover with Ultraverse. [[spoiler: It even has the same consequences for them in making them sentient and set loose upon the universe.]]

* CowboyCop: Sleepwalker disobeys his superiors and journeys through the Stones, partially to save him and partially because he realizes Gamora's actions will unbalence the Stones.
* CurbStompBattle:

* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: Despite the fact the Stones could've reformed anywhere, two reformed on Earth, and by the time the event begins four of the five are on Earth, and five of them are in human (human-ish in Adam's case) hands.

* ForWantOfANail: Phyla and Moondragon comment that while they don't trust 616 Gamora, the one from their home universe was even worse and theorize that one of the key differances was that their Peter Quill never survived the Cancerverse.

** [[spoiler:Gamora runs Peter through her sword]].

** ''Thanos Legacy'' reveals that [[spoiler: he knew Gamora was going to kill him, and ''allowed'' for it to happen so, that he would avoid becoming an older version of himself from a possible future he'd recently met and despised]].

* MeaningfulEcho: "Nothing ever dies." Requiem said it to the dwarfen smith she killed in ''Countdown'', and says it here [[spoiler:just before running Peter through with a sword.]]
* MultiversalConqueror:

** The title for ''Iron Hammer'' issue 1 is "Journey into Suspense!", a mash-up of the titles Iron Man and Thor were introduced in; Journey into Mystery and Tales of Suspense.
** Scott Lang briefly takes out Devondra the same way he destroyed the Fraternity of Raptors starship in All-New Guardians. His muttering about regretting going into space as he does this hints that the event is on his mind while he does it.
** When Rick Sheridan mentions an appointment with Hummingbird while interviewing Silhouette, the later recalls their extremely brief time together on the New Warriors.
** After Adam Warlock mentions his plans to stop Gamora and restore everyone back to their original selves, Soldier Supreme prepares to attack him in order to preserve the universe that he has always known, similar to Dr. Strange’s amalgam from the Marvel vs DC crossovers, Dr. Strangefate, who became the antagonist of those series in his efforts to preserve the Amalgam Universe. Though unlike Strangefate, Soldier Supreme agrees to a deal with Warlock to preserve both universes.
* NominalHero: Loki is one of the most morally ambiguous cases of HeelFaceRevolvingDoor in the Marvel Universe. He's also the only one who remembers the world the way it's supposed to be. He even finds the whole thing neat. Nevertheless, he knows he must set things right or the world will end. Issue #3 even ends with him begging Diamond Patch for help.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Rocket Racoon finds Spot's power so funny he keeps shooting at him, causing bullets to fly out of the man in every direction, threatening to hit everyone until Iron Man blasts his gun.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the Sleepwalker miniseries Silhouette teleports away after seeing the explosion in Central Park, presumaby to there. This is the last we see of her, as she doesn't even appear in warped form.

* WorkingTheSameCase: Both Loki and Sleepwalker are assembling their own set of heroes who have mastered one of the elements of Infinity in order to conquer one of the gems. Loki is attempting to get the gems, get to the bottom of the events, and have his chosen heroes weild their respective gem to restore the universe. Sleepwalker is attempting to reunite with his host in the waking world (now inside the Soul Gem) before Gamora's actions cause irreparable harm to the Mindscape. Because of the Mindscape's link to the Mind Gem forcing Sleepwalker to begin there, and the Soul Gem being at the very end of the loop from this starting point, he is forced to go through the realms within each gem to accomplish this.

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Dr. Wyndham returns, empowered by what he calls the Storm Sigil, taken from Daimon Gallows and forged from the vengeful souls of the Punisher Pack.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: As part of the villains' scheme, this is invoked. Heroes come under attack from other heroes's villains, so Weapon Hex has to fight the Mad Ghost and his Android Apes, while the Terrific Two fight Cameron Belasco.

** ''Infinity Countdown: [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]]'' #1
** ''Infinity Countdown: ComicBook/{{Champions|2016}}'' #1 -- #2

''Infinity Wars'' is billed as the culmination of Duggan's Infinity Stones saga, which began with ''All-New Guardians of The Galaxy'' in 2017, and will reportedly have long-lasting consequences for the wider MarvelUniverse moving forward.

''Infinity Wars'' is a 2018 Creator/MarvelComics {{crisis crossover}} event series written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Mike Deodato Jr. It follows the former's run on ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', as well as ''ComicBook/InfinityCountdown'', which directly precedes this one.

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Everyone versus Gamora once she gets her hands on the Reality Stone.]]
** After he remembered how the Infinity Circuit affected each element of each stone, Sleepwalker completely and effortlessly took down Dynamus the champion of Power World.

* ContinuitySnarl: {{Deconstructed|trope}}. As the Warps start to warp into each other and ''those'' Warps start to warp into each other, the sheer mess of the incompatible origin stories of their component characters starts to put these characters into great existential confusion. Only the Hammer Supreme (Doctor Strange, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Moon Knight (who himself is several people), Black Panther, and Ghost Rider in one body) can handle such a convoluted merge because the Eye of a character whose name is now TheUnpronounceable gives them a higher sense of self-awareness.

* CrisisCrossover: Taken UpToEleven. Even the ''events'' in this world are a mash-up of major Marvel events. Issue 1 is named "Acts of War", as a mix of ''Acts of Vengeance'' and ''Civil War''. Issue 2 is "The Inferno Gauntlet", after the X-Event ''Inferno'' and ''The Infinity Gauntlet''.
