The Annihilation event was probably my favorite event for ages; it’s what generally made me start buying comics on a regular basis instead of buying the odd graphic novel every couple of months. Maybe I should hate it for that, but I don’t as it kicked ass.

The follow up, Annihilation Conquest, hasn’t really lived up to the original thus far. With the Phalanx taking over what was left of the Kree Empire and shutting it off from the rest of the galaxy by putting a force field around it. We had our main heroes Nova, Quasar, Star Lord and newcomer Wraith. Nova was easily the best out of the four. But he has been cut out of the current Conquest comic. This left us with the other 3. Wraith was decent, not fantastic, but decent. Star lord was good. Quasar was a waste of money, pure and simple waste of money.
Now I get all three in one. We get a few twists here and there. A return for Adam Warlock and Ultron. Kree leader Ronan, Super Skrull and Wraith going to see Ravenous. The High Evolutionary blowing up a sun. But, the only gripe I have with it is they pay too much attention to Quasars story with Adam Warlock. I would love to see more of Wraiths and Star Lords as I haven’t a clue what is going on anymore in star lords; it just passes you by so quickly. But the cool thing about this is that three main fighting forces are aware of each other. They’ll meet up eventually I would assume, but its cool none the less.

In saying that, it IS improving and at a good rate, but I doubt it will reach the same heights as Annihilation did.
