Who can stop Ultron? The team of Nova, Adam Warlock, Quasar, Star-Lord and others in the final chapter of the Annihilation: Conquest saga.
Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that arrives April 9, 2008.
What if Annihilus’ wasn’t defeated? What if the Annihilation made it to Earth? What if the invasion took place smack dab in the middle of Civil War and Silent war?
The answer to that, dear reader, can be found in the pages of What If? Annihilation. Marvel has kindly provided Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that you can check out after the jump.
Phalanx is still attacking, and it is up to Quasar and Moondragon to find a solution to turn the war. Alliances are formed and plans are set in motion in this sneak peek direct from Marvel.
The Quest for the Kree savior comes to an end in Quasar #4, and Marvel has kindly sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that arrives October 31st.
Or - “Playing Catch-Up Is Actually Kind Of Fun…”
Peter Quill. Astronaut. Star-Lord. Fallen hero. In the wake of the Annihilation, the powers of the universe have been completely revamped and reconfigured, but there are still situations that cry out for the intervention of the master of the spaceways… The situation on Hala (home of the Kree) is beyond desperate, and the powers that be have drafted Pete and a few of Marvel’s other back-catalog characters into a suicide mission, a mission behind enemy lines where nobody expects any of them to survive. Whaddaya bet that they’re right? (more…)

Or - “It’s Not Namorita, But I’m Not Terribly Disappointed…”
The first Annihilation miniseries was a huge hit for Marvel, relaunching a number of concepts thought long-since rendered pointless, including Super-Skrull and Richard Rider’s Nova career. Nova’s history is full of ups and downs, in terms of power, story, and setting, so it’s good to see Rich return to his roots as a Centurion, and this is the first attempt to do the character in flat-out space opera (unless you count his series of cameos in ‘Rom’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ in the 80’s.) Not surprisingly, and probably not unexpectedly, there’s more than just a tinge of Green Lantern in this treatment, but with a totally Marvel twist on things. Normally, I might complain about the similarities between the two stories, but when they’re both actually GOOD, I tend to let it slide…
Yes, it’s time once again to entertain you with sneak peeks of Marvel titles shipping next week.
In this installment we have ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST - QUASAR 2, CAPTAIN AMERICA 29, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN 23, MARVEL ADVENTURES HULK 2, MARVEL ADVENTURES TWO-IN-ONE 2, MARVEL ILLUSTRATED: TREASURE ISLAND 3, NEW X-MEN 41.
Take the jump for all the goodness.
Yes it’s going to be another huge week for Marvel titles hitting the news stands (something like 22 titles!), so we are once again breaking the weekend sneaks into two parts.
In this installment AMAZING SPIDER-GIRL 11, ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST - WRAITH 2, AVENGERS CLASSIC 3, BLADE 12, CRIMINAL 8, DAREDEVIL 99, EXILES 97, FANTASTIC FIVE 3, GHOST RIDER 14, HEDGE KNIGHT II: SWORN SWORD 3, and the World War Hulk tie-in INCREDIBLE HULK 109.
Or - “It’s Interesting When A Character I Love Returns To The Spotlight…”
…especially when it’s a character that virtually nobody else has heard of. Star-Lord is one of the old-school fave-raves from the days of the Marvel black and white magazines (I also have a soft spot for The Zombie and anyone who appeared in ‘Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu’) even though his characterization and backstory varied wildly through his history. The one thing that seemed to maintain, however, was his sarcasm (bordering on misanthropy in some cases) and a sardonic wit. Pete was one of the high points of last summer’s Annihilation story, serving as Nova’s majordomo, comptroller, and sounding board, all the while insisting that the Star-Lord was dead. That begs the question: what changes his mind?
Or - “Worldmind Is A Fickle Omniscient Computer Program, Isn’t It?”
Reviewing Green Lantern and Nova back to back was an accidental decision, but one that ends up illustrating both the similarities between the characters, and the differences in direction of the respective concepts. Heck, if you really want to overthink it, you can use it as a metaphor for the big two comics companies: Green Lantern is about togetherness, about the gestalt, the Corps coming together against their opposite number much as DC’s characters are being forced to work together building up to Final Crisis. Nova is about the individual, the last survivor struggling alone in the ashes of a great war, muddling along as best he can, much as Marvel’s entire universe continues butting heads and fighting each other as much as any external threats. Neither approach can be said to be wrong, but they lead to very different takes on the same theme: interstellar war.
During Annihilation: Conquest Prologue, Peter Quill had been left for dead. Don’t know about you but that would leave me mighty angry and ready for some revenge. Quill rises again in the form of Star-Lord. Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the series.
