4.0 out of 5 stars The end?, August 4, 2007

This review is from: Annihilation, Book 3 (Hardcover)

The annihilation wave has made it's impact, and in this third hardcover collection, the surviving intergalactic warriors prepare to make a last stand. Silver Surfer, Nova, the Super Skrull, and Ronan are about to face down Annihilus with the universe hanging in the balance, with the impact set to reach even greater heights. After two collections of what seemed like lead-up's to the main event, the full, main Annihilation mini-series is collected here, and it's worth the anticipation, mainly thanks to a universe shattering smackdown between Nova and Annihilus. In many ways, the whole Annihilation event is more enjoyable than Marvel's other high profile mega event, Civil War. Then again, when you've got a guy like Keith Giffen (the creator of DC's Lobo, so he knows a thing or two about intergalactic comic book operas) at the helm, you pretty much know you'll be in for something good at the very least. The art throughout is solid as well, including work from Teen Titans artist Mike McKone and Andrea DiVito among others. The only real downside is that when the end comes, it feels as if the story isn't over yet and that there's more on the horizon (and there is, naturally), so you'll be left wanting more regardless. That being said, this third hardcover Annihilation collection is an essential pickup if you've enjoyed the previous collections that led up to this, and in that case, you'll want to see how it all pans out anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Annhilation ends; Conquest begins..., August 19, 2007

By 

Elvis Zombie "Dustin" (Angola, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Annihilation, Book 3 (Hardcover)

All hell breaks loose! Nova leads a remnant of heroes in a losing battle against the unstoppable Annihilation wave. All hope seems lost as Galactus and Silver Surfer fall into Annihilus's hands. Thanos seems to be the only thing standing between Annihilus and the destruction of two universes. However, Drax will not be denied of his goal to kill Thanos even if it means the end of life for everyone and everything. Ronan confronts the corrupt House Fiyero as the resistance falls apart. If you haven't read book 1, do yourself a favor and pick it up. Annihilation is the best thing going on at Marvel right now. Forget Civil War and everything else. This is the must read event of 2006. Annhilation: Conquest is starting and is sure to be the must read event of 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Action-Packed Conclusion!, September 8, 2007

By 

Zauriel (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Annihilation, Book 3 (Hardcover)

The first two books of Annihaltion carried the mini series this one though it's got it all the main series the meat and potatoes of the story. Annihilation was slept on as far as big events overshadowed by Civil War but, far and away the better event. In this final book Nova and the rest of his Warriors prepare for the final battle against the Annihilation Wave if they fail Earth is directly in the waves path. Great read and awesome finish to the event.
