Synopsis: Launching out of ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST, Marvel’s sci-fi heroes unite to protect the cosmos! Back-to-back Annihilation wars have weakened the boundaries of our universe. Dark gods and monsters are seeping through the cracks, reigning horror upon those still reeling from the recent calamities. In the face of terror, who stands to defend a desperate universe? Star-Lord and his squad of butt-kickers – the modern day Guardians of the Galaxy! You’ve heard that ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST rocks – the guy at the comic shop keeps telling you to try NOVA – well, now’s your chance to experience the glory that writers Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning and artist Paul Pelletier can unleash! All this…plus a wise-cracking raccoon and a telepathic dog!

C’mon, people, time to lock and load!

Opinion: Guardians of the Galaxy was so much fun! I didn’t end up buying the Annihilation mini’s, and I was worried that when i bought this book I was going to feel a little lost… but nope! Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett did an excellent job introducing each character and explaining a bit about who they are, what they do and what type of personalities they have.

I am not very familiar with the new Warlock, Quasar, Rocket Raccoon, Dax the Destroyer, Gamora, Star-Lord or any of the other minor characters - but it didn’t even matter. In one introductory issue I became familiar with the situation, the characters and became interested in the mystery.

This is definitely a book I plan on getting into, and I just might go back and buy the annihilation trades, if this book is any indication of the quality going into Marvel’s new space titles.
