Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Annihilus is of power! Annihilus is of death! Annihilus is forever! Continuing Marvel's epic in the stars, Book 2 tells the stories of three individuals within the larger context of the Annihilation Event. Beautifull, they're self-contained, but also have necessary plot points to know for Book 3. The first story belongs to the Silver Surfer, which is centered on how the Annihilation Wave can be any different from when the Surfer served as a herald to Galactus. It's a well-told story with internal and external conflict, ... Read More Rating: - Book 2 is more a sidebar than a continuation of Book 1Marvel's second "Annihilation" volume collects three 2006 mini-series: Annihilation: Silver Surfer #1-4, Annihilation: Super-Skrull #1-4 and Annihilation: Ronan #1-4. The first story arc features the Silver Surfer and other former Heralds of Galactus as they are pursued by and prepare to battle the impending Annihilation Wave. The second and third segments feature Silver Age cosmic villains (Super Skrull and Ronan the Accuser, respectively) who each seek public redemption from their mounting irrelevance. ...

Rating:  - Uneven middle chapterSince Annihilation is told in a series of connected miniseries by different artists and writers the results are naturally uneven and in this book it really hurts. This volume has 3 seperate stories, the Silver Surver miniseries, Superskrull and Ronan the Accuser. Each has very different art and stories that seem padded out. The forces of Annihilation Wave look drastically different in each series and if they didn't have the same name you'd never know it was the same foe. Worse ... Read More Rating: - Big disappointment.I read a lot of positive reviews on Amazon about how cool this series was and how it blew Marvel's "Civil War" series out of the water. Maybe that comparison alone should have been enough to scare me off. Anyway, as a kid, I read pretty much every single comic Marvel put out between 1963-79, and I was well versed in their many attempts at ultra-cosmic, super-duper, mind-blowing meta-fiction from the 1970s. I dutifully consumed all the books with third-rate characters such as Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, ... Read More
