Narration Concering Books Annihilation, Book One (Annihilation (Collected Editions) #1)
The epic collection of the cosmic event begins here! Heroes will die. Villains and heroes will form allegiances. Empires will fall. A destructive force punctures through the edge of our universe and slaughters millions of worlds - including Xandar, home of the intergalactic peacekeeping force known as the Nova Corps. With the Nova Corps gone, who can possibly hold off the Annihilation Wave? To protect the legacy of the Xandarian culture, the lone surviving member of the Corps - Richard Rider of Earth - must escape from the burning ruins of the homeworld with the murdering hosts of the Annihilation Wave closing in. But can he trust himself to use his new power wisely, or will he lose control again and pose a threat to the cosmos greater than the invasion itself? And on the subject of trust, how far can he trust his new "friend" Drax? Plus: Just how did Drax end up on Xandar, anyway? His story begins with the crash of an interstellar prison transport in an isolated Alaskan Town. And when Paibok the Power Skrull, Lunatik, the Blood Brothers and Drax the Destroyer come calling, it's not a social call.

So this is the story that really sold me on Marvel comic events. Prior to this I had read Civil War I, Civil War II, Secret Wars, and very likely two other Blockbuster comic events in the Marvel cosmology but it wasn't until Annihilation that I was introduced to the larger landscape of the Marvel Universe. Somehow, for a cosmic event that referenced the Earth twice? maybe ( I remember Richard Rider standing on the deck of a spaceship overlooking the Earth), Annihilation and it's sequelVery good start. I would like a little more info on where the Annihilation Wave came from, but if you can take that as a given there's a good story here.The Drax story was my favorite and had the best art even if the story itself was pretty simplistic and didn't really seem incredibly important to the overall storyline. The Nova Corps are very much the Green Lantern Corps of the Marvel Universe, and they don't fare too well in this volume. I didn't care for the art in the Nova Series that much,
Annihilus has left the Negative Zone and is living up to his name. Drax the Destroyer has left his exile on Earth and becomes the mentor to the last surviving member of the Nova Corps. Quasar makes an appearance as well.This collects the Drax mini-series and the start of the Annihilation story arc. Draw gets a reboot and a teen Earth girl as a sidekick but loses some of his powers. Nova, on the other hand, gets a power boost when the entire world mind and Nova Force are downloaded into him.While
The comic book was OK but I didn't like the drax the destroyer issues they lacked action, heart and it wasn't fun reading the Nova and The Silver Surfer issues were awesome the art for the Silver Surfer was AMAZING and it was a fun read the Super Skrull was very heartfelt and beautiful. The covers were drawn beautifully.
So Mike wrote a pretty glowy review for Annihilation: Conquest - Book 1.And since I'd just read (and liked) The Thanos Imperative, which takes place after all the Annihilation stuff, it was just the push I needed to check this out.Unfortunately for me, I didn't check out the reviews for this before I grabbed it.Always check the reviews, people!This wasn't much fun for me to read. Turns out, I don't care about Nova. Who knew?And this is a Nova heavy title. It also seems that I care even less
some parts i loved, some were boring AF. full review to come:the thing about annihilation vol. 1 is that there is so much stuff going on across the four main comics/ characters of this bound up edition. and then, each of these characters are tied up into their own story line that i assume will all converge at some point, but you also have this enormous cast of secondary characters, and basically i just found myself very quickly deciding whether i was interested or not.for example: totally
A solid start to this cosmic crossover, Book One basically has two main parts. The first part collects the Drax the Destroyer miniseries, establishing Drax and Cammi for their appearances in the second part. This is well-done, but mostly relies on the good characterization. The second part is Annihilation proper. The one-shot launching the event is OK, mostly a setup for the rest of the series. (I will concede they got me attached to a few short-lived characters, though, against my better
