Before CrossGen Comics went bankrupted, they teased a CrossGen CrossOver event called "The War".
George Perez was going to be the superstar artist for the event, but couldn't commit to it because he was still working on the much-delayed JLA/Avengers books. Those who waited the first time might remember that issue #4 was nine months behind (originally going to ship June 2003, but did not deliver until March 2004).
CrossGen Comics, which was probably burning through money every month, couldn't wait for George, so they went ahead with The War (now renamed ...

Just a note that the Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus
appears in the Avengers: Infinity War behind the scenes feature. It
looks like they are closely looking at the source material (with all
those sticky notes!).
When
I was a youngster, I enjoyed the occasional Marvel comic, mostly
Spider-Man stuff. But it was a very casual relationship up until around
age 13 or so. I became a regular reader of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with
issue 360, cover dated March of 1992. Only a few months later, I was
reintroduced to the larger Marvel Universe when a school friend showed
me his copy of THE INFINITY WAR #1, a series somewhat along the lines of
SECRET WARS, which I had loved as a child due to the epic scope and the
sheer number of superheroes involved. So basically, you could say that
I owe my decades of Marvel fandom to Jim Starlin's "Infinity"
franchise. I'm sure I would've branched out beyond Spider-Man on my
own; I was already familiar with the other Marvel characters -- but
INFINITY WAR jump-started that transition.
This book isn't about the THE INFINITY WAR, however -- this Omnibus
collects the previous, first series in Starlin's "Infinity" series --
hence, THE INFINITY GAUNTLET OMNIBUS.
And while I view WAR as a superior installment, both nostalgically and
storywise, THE INFINTY GAUNTLET is nothing to sneeze at -- nor is this
book which collects the full epic.
