How closely does Avengers: Infinity War follow the comics?

[PandithSahadev]

Avengers: Infinity War is an amalgam of two Marvel comic book arcs: The Infinity Gauntlet series, by writer Jim Starlin and artist George Pérez, and a 2013 comic book crossover event called Infinity.

In Infinity, Thanos launches an attack on Earth alongside a team called the Black Order — pretty much what’s happening in Infinity War. But when it comes to Thanos’s motivations, and the mythology of the Infinity Stones (which are called the Infinity Gems in the comic books), The Infinity Gauntlet informs the movie a lot.
