Access Today Annihilation Omnibus Conceived By Dan Abnett Accessible In Kindle

introducirse en el mundo cósmico de Marvel es de lo mejorcito que hay, sin ninguna duda, If you think I dont live my life asking, “What would Richard Rider do,” youd be sorely mistaken, I wanted to put this down as 'five' just because, I loved it. The whole storyline. I realize the artwork is choppy throughout the series, where some issues are definitely better/worse than other issues, I realize some of the stories are weaker than others, realistically speaking, But I still loved it, It was a crazy story and I had no idea how it was going to end when I read it, But I was really, really, really hoping the Omnibus would have had more 'extras' in it than it did, Some of the 'extras' at the end are merely reprints of stuff that was at the end of some of the miniseries anyway, so they weren't really 'extras', and that was disappointing.
The 'thing' I hoped for the most was for the authors to discuss their thoughts, ideas, expectations, etc, at length in the back, That would have been awesome! But, alas, it is not to be, Maybe if they reprint it as a 'second edition' they can include comments from the authors and the artists, That would be nice. I'd be tempted to buy a second copy to read what they would have to say,

The 'first' story Drax the Destroyer, It was okay. Kinda disappointing, in some respects, but equally good in other parts, I felt bad for Dex when he called the Fantastic Four for help and got stuck on their voice messaging system.
His despair was so sad to read, They did a good job with this one part of the book, as well as presenting the FF as victims of their own success and the 'Bureaucracy' that has become a part of their lives.
It was a sort of prequel that kindof ties into the rest of the 'Annihilation Wave' series, but only in an indirect fashion.
Drax dies and is reborn in such a way that his identity is hidden/scrambled from sensors of local law enforcement, such as the Nova Corp, who would love to arrest him and execute him for his many, many, many crimes.
He ends up on Xandar just before the Annihilation Wave attacks, Cammi, an Earth girl who has nothing to lose and nothing keeping her on Earth, goes with Drax that, and the fact that the two are somehow bonded together as a result of Drax's resurrection.
I did like that one of the Blood Brothers was killed,

The Prologue: When I first read the comic itself, I had no idea it was the prologue for a miniseries let alone a part of an overarching story arc that ran between four "fourissue" miniseries before ending with a larger miniseries of six issues.
I was all 'what the heck just happened' when I read it, It wasn't until quite a bit later when I came across volumeof the hardbound compilations that I discovered it's status for the story arc.
Xandar is destroyed, Nova Corp is destroyed. I was so hoping more of the Nova Corp members would have survived, especially Samaya from Alpha Centauri, It was a hard story to read, what with all of the death and destruction, Of course, Richard Rider survives,

Nova: This was an okay miniseries, The art was better than the art in the "Prologue", but not by much, Richard Rider has to grow up and grow up fast, Drax and Cammi mostly Drax are there to assist him in his growing up and transitioning from peace and law enforcement to war.
Nova uploads the entire Worldmind network into his body and has a new suit designed for him by Worldmind.
Drax agrees to help Nova learn how to focus, Quasar dies, which sucks. We learn that Annihilus is behind the Annihilation Wave, Actually, the artwork was pretty nice in some spots, and not as nice in others, The 'best' 'funniest' part is when Drax puts on Nova's helmet after Nova throws it at him and walks away in disgust.


Silver Surfer: I enjoyed this miniseries, overall, I had no idea that Galactus had had so many other heralds, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover them.
I knew about Norin Radd, obviously, as well as Firelord and Terrax, I did not know about Stardust, Red Shift, Gabriel Air Walker, Morg, or the Fallen One, Overall, I liked the art in this series, but the story did seem to kind of drag for a bit, Ravenous was created almost exclusively for this series, as the counterpart

of Surfer and the other Heralds, Norin should have fed Ravenous to Galactus, in my opinion, but there you go, On a side note, some of the spaceships in this series reminded me of the Federation warships in Starship Troopers and other spaceships reminded me of Rebellion/Alliance warships from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Thanos makes an alliance with Annihilus, to the detriment of the rest of the known Universe.


Super Skrull: I think I disliked the artwork in this series the most, Which is too bad, because it probably had some of the better character development in the storyline on the one hand.
Kl'rt goes from being a loser and a buffoon to a hero over the course of the series but still a fallen hero, as he is not above torture to get what the end results that he so desires.
One thing that bugged me was not that he shows up on Earth and seeks help from Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four but that Reed Richards never tells the other heroes of Earth about this Annihilation Wave that was heading their way.
It might have been a smart thing to do, and it might have helped end some of the stupid 'Civil War' that was going on between the 'heroes' at the time on Earth.
One thing I did like was Kl'rt's plan to enter the Negative Zone to find a way to defeat a mobile processing plant from killing his son.
He finds a batch of powerful allies in the form of former prisoners who join him in his quest for revenge/salvation.


Ronan: This was a sidewisekindofstory, If they had not added the attack of one of Annihilus's fleets, it would have had nothing really to do with the overall story.
Instead, it is a story about how Ronan gets reinvolved in Kree politics as it were, He battles Gamora for a bit, which makes it kindofa humorous story/plot, Gamora is well Gamora. The artists did a nice job depicting her, Ronan, though, looks goofy in this series, The artist was not kind to him at all,

Annihilation: Finally getting into the 'meat' of the storyline, I think this part of the series had the best artwork in it, The 'final battle' was so darn anticlimactic once you read the end of the series itself, It was frustrating, on the one hand, I get it and get why they did it, but, still! Annihilus is killed by Nova it's an awesome yet gruesome twopage spread, where Nova rips Annihilus insides' out through the villain's mouth.
Then, we discover that Annihilus's sole remaining bride gives birth to Annihilus, so Rider's actions were essentially nullified, This series could almost have been longer than it was, because it seemed like they rushed through it to get it to where it needed to be.
The Rebel Alliance falls apart and the remnants flee along their own separate paths.
Galactus and Silver Surfer are captured by two other Prometheantype beings who are equals with Galactus they are then utilized by Thanos to try and provide Annihilus with the Power Cosmic while destroying the Rebel Alliance.
Thanos discovers that Annihilus has lied to him, and Thanos does not take kindly to being misled although he has no problem misleading others.
Drax kills Thanos before Thanos can completely free Galactus, then Drax works with the Silver Surfer to free Galactus, There is a GalactusLevelEvent where he almost entirely devours Annihilus' fleet yet Annihilus survives the Feeding Event, Nova, Phyla, and Starlord jump around a bit to catch up with Annihilus, and that is when Nova kills Annihilus, The Galaxy is saved. Kl'rt and Praxagora go with Ronan to Hala to replace the Kree ruling council with leaders who will not sell the Kree race out to alien invaders in hopes of 'just surviving'.
A lot of loose ends are barely tied up, here,

One thing that still strikes me as funny/hilarious is how Drax is able to quickly kill Thanos in this storyline, whereas in countless prior stories Drax was never able to come close to killing Thanos.
In this story arc, Drax is nowhere near as strong as he used to be, although he is apparently now deadlier as a fighter while being physically weaker and not able to perform like he had been able to in previous stories.


The Heralds stories: those were okay, The one about Stardust was a bit horrific, The one with Firelord was understandable, The one with Terrax was interesting and unexpected, I liked his 'final solution' to the problem he faced before his 'final final solution, ' The one with Surfer was okay,

The 'extra' stuff was disappointing,

Overall, I love having this omnibus and am glad I took the time to thumb through it while taking a break from my classwork.
