Also in 1991, Pérez signed on to pencil the six-issue limited series "Infinity Gauntlet" for Marvel Comics, which was written by Jim Starlin. However, due to the turbulence happening concurrently with "War of the Gods", this was a very stressful personal period for Pérez, and he was not able to finish penciling the entire run of "Infinity Gauntlet", leaving the project part way through issue No. 4. The "Infinity Gauntlet" editorial team decided to find a replacement artist to finish the miniseries, and Ron Lim was the artist chosen (although Pérez offered to remain on as the inker over Lim's cover art for the remainder of the miniseries).
