I'm looking forward to producing more! With channel gaining more views, I'll be able to dedicate more time into producing videos in 2021 and hopefully move towards doing so full time! In the meantime, I'll be bringing you all more content, more often! Stay tuned!

[@sonpanchan]

There was also Annihilation Conquest which *spoilers* had the big bad behind the Phalanx invasion in space be Ultron. Ultorn pretty much takes over Kree space and infects a bunch of characters (including Ronan, Gamora, Drax, and Nova the latter who ends up fighting off the infection) and he even takes over Adam Warlock's body. What gets me is that after achieving all this power and taking over one of the most powerful Empires his ultimate goal is to go to Earth and stick it to Hank Pym, lol. Fortunately Nova, Star-Lord, Quasar, and the other cosmic heroes are able to stop him.
