Man, this story really changed my life. "When I was a boy" I hated marvel cosmology I always thought it was corny & lame. Then freshman year of HS Annihilation came out & changed everything. I was hooked. Not only did I stay on board with the new ongoing Marvel cosmology, all the way through until Thanos Imperative. But it caused me to go back & discover some fantastic & now favorite books of mine. Story’s like Stan Lee’s Silver Surfer, Jim Valentinos Guardians of the Galaxy, & much more! Now Marvel’s cosmology is my favorite part of Marvel comics. It subsequently caused a snowball affect prompting me to fall in love with Sci-Fi more in general across different mediums. From Adam Strange & Flash Gordan to FireFly & TNG. So long story short this comic & its sequels are great!!

Ahhh Annihilation I loved this and the Nova series that came out of it, Richard calling out Tony Stark on him and Captain America smashing their respective action figures against another while he ripped out Annihilus' intestines who slaughtered billions made him one of my favourite characters. As a Jim Starlin fan that enjoys the introspective nature of Thanos and Adam Warlock with their confronting existentialism and nihilism, however he could have toned down the grand scale of his stories amd tbh Keith Giffen and Ron Marz were the only writers who seemed to keep that introspective nature of Thanos without turning him into space Jeffery dahmer.

If there was ever a Scene I'd want from the Comics to see the most in an MCU Movie or Animated Movie... It'd have to be the Heroes on the other side of the Galaxy, fighting off the Annihilation Wave, and all of the sudden they hear this Scream that Shakes and can be Heard across The Universe saying *ANNIHILUS!* *KNOW GALACTUS!* *K N O W ! ! !

I could imagine Nova flying to Earth, and practicing his speech to try and sway Cap and Iron man. Just muttering to himself, "Okay, just tell them Annihlus took Galactus's power and needs to be stopped..." Off in the distance, the Fantastic Four Tower immediately launches into space. "I drop those names alone and that should be enough to get them to stop squabbling..."

My very favorite Marvel series! I collect comic art and am proud to have scored a few Annihilation pages- including the killer splash page where Ronan smashes his hammer over Ravenous'face! I also got to meet Keith Geffen and chat with him about Annihilation and he told me how Quesada HATED that the series did well and was regarded very well while his precious Civil War was being torn apart by critics and fans alike. Then I contacted main series artist Andrea DiVito and commissioned him to draw Nova fighting Annihilus! I'm... I'm kinda a fanboy for this series.

[@tomthespaceknerd5396]

This is hands down my favourite Marvel event. I was already a fan of Nova from his New Warriors days but this was, and is still, the best story they ever told with him. That said the whole era of Marvel cosmic that ran from Annihilation to the Thanos Imperative was awesome, with relatively few mis-steps.

[@shiningnight12]

BEST BOOK/MARVEL EVENT EVERRRRRRR. OF ALL TIME. Probably the best version of Star-Lord pre MCU. Ricard Ryder becomes Kyle Rayner. Drax punches through Thanos' chest. The guardians are formed for the first time. Gamora is a total badass. Oh and my main man Adam Warlock comes back. The crappest F4 villian , IMO, becomes the biggest threat in the universe. I LOVE THIS GODDAMN EVENT.

[@SG-js2qn]

Annihilus was crappier than Blastaar? Annihilus was cool in that he was a bug who accidentally obtained the "power cosmic" ... and then being a bug, he exemplified what a bug would do if they had the power cosmic: eat, breed, survive.

[@henriquez199]

Fun fact this was the first comic I ever read that I didn’t know the characters of from seeing them on tv or movies back in 2008

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

The thing about Annihilus is that he controls all of the "Power Cosmic" of his dimension and he's being further enhanced by Death herself- she wants to eliminate half the universe and had commanded Thanos to serve Annihilus in this end. The Quantum Bands are very much like the Power Infinity Gem- they're a conduit to unlimited power. So Annihilus is just unstoppable with the bands on.
