It seems there is good news on the horizon for fans of Marvel's cosmic books. The long awaited dream team is here. A newly formed team that will annihilate all threats to the cosmos has surfaced from aftermath of the Thanos: Imperative.

A silver guardian of the space ways...
A champion of a dead people and lost galaxy...
A soldier who gave up his crown to further the evolution of his people...
A praetor who never wore the mantle of emperor comfortably...
A protector of the universe...

Annhilators assemble!

Will be getting every issue of this. Hopefully Superskrull is added into this line up. You have an Earthling, Kree, Strontian, Korbinite, and Zenn-Lan but no Skrull.

Oh damn that's pretty epic. I love Marvel's cosmic stuff.

Is that Captain Mar-vell? I clicked the link and somebody is giving Champion some props.

looking good

Awesome!

I laughed a little when I first say this teaser. It looks like Ronan is lagging behind like a little brother trying to keep up with the big guns.

Hopefully Ronan gets some decent showings.

Even though he'd be the weakest on the team he doesn't get enough respect.

I'd like to see this team in action.Is that what its called?Annihilators?

Although i'd like to see Nova added back in, surfer taken out, and black bolt added.Mabye....now that I think about it it doesn't sound that cool....

Wow that is a good line-up.

Marvel's version of the JLA

This looks so promising.

Nice. Hopefully we'll get more Ronan and cameos by the Guardians and Starhawk.

can't wait for my boy Wendel to shine.
Also nice speedblitz from surfer in the preview

IS thanos going to come back if its still thanos imperative?

And if he does they better bring Nova back.

But yeah this team is epic. I can see the many fights in the vs. forums.

The only three missing are K'lrt, Nova and Adam Warlock, as the leader, since I don't see Surfer, while the most powerful of the team, being a great leader. Warlock, however, would be perfect.

Also, why not add Black Bolt to the mix, for good measure.

Yeah who would be the teams leader?

I'd like to see Ronan as the leader

Gladiator seems more apropriate

I'd have Quasar as the leader

This. Ronan or Glad should be field tacticians though (maybe Ronan could be the tinkerer).

It's missing Kl'rt for sure. Adam and Nova are missed too but they've had enough appearances lately that I don't want them to over shadow the other characters. This team should last about 20 issues before bringing in Nova, Warlock, and Black Bolt. Kl'rt should show up as soon as book 2. Darkhawk or Talon should join as well. The whole data song bit would fit in as well as some sort of intel database that alerts them to looming threats.

Villains: Blastaar, Magus, Kang?, Annihilus, Ravenous, Negative Zone, Phalanx, UCT, Badoon, Dire Wraith, Tyrant, Count Abyss(mal).

No Thanos please. He's done as a villain, leave the poor guy alone.

There is a rather large power gap between ronan and everyone else

I wonder how they are going to write around that. Maybe ronan is getting a upgrade =D

Beta Ray Bill / Gladiator
Quasar

Ronan

Ronan will be this team's Batman.

Kang as a cosmic villain would be awesome, they could also bring some alternate reality Guardians villains such as Bubounicus. The Phoenix Force or some sort of revamped Vulcan/M'kran race would be nice too.

He should fit the role with Nova gone now. He should be the Batman/Iron Man of the team with his armor. They should just write it that he gets an upgrade armor that allows him to tap into other alien tech and soft in order to access information necessary for the team to strategically strike a planet or find out about a specific targets.

What I want to see from this are:
- Gladiator to show unquestionably that Gladiator > Superman hmph
- Elders of the universe NO JOBBING
- Earth based villains that are too powerful to stay at home
- Silver surfer turn evil or mad just for a bit
- Reappearance of some old cosmic characters (Midnight Sun, impossible man (F chaos war)

So they might add Kl'rt to the team but they had better put high tensions between Ronan and Kl'rt.

There isn't that many Skrulls left for the Kree to worry about after Annihilation and Secret Invasion. And whatever tensions left would be the last thing on there mine after losing part of their empire and old capital to the Annihilus' forces, getting enslaved by the Phalanx, depleting valuable resources in fighting Vulcan's empire and holding back the Cancerverse forces. Sure the Shi'Ar is basically under the rule of the Kree for now, but they lost more than what they can take from the Shi'Ar without pissing off Gladiator and the Shi'ar Imperium into another war. There's too much for old enemies to worry about. Besides, it was Super Skrull and his gf Praxagora who help Ronan regain the Kree empire in Annihilation. They were also fighting the Phalanx in Conquest. Ronan owes Super Skrull big time, especially after Ultron killed Praxagora in Conquest.

There so many comics and crossovers I don't know where to start, where it starts and where it ends.

But i'd still like to see a little in team rivalry. Then Surfer can be a non-chalant badass and tell them to shut up or he'll take away their mouths.

I just got to thinking that Kl'rt and Ronan would make a badass duo. Don't ask me why...

Uber characters + no personalities = low sales.

So now I'm confused. After IG, he began his move away from his villainous past. His mini essential had he try to prove himself as a force of good. Annihilation came around and he only backed Annihilus to learn of his plan and tried to stop it as soon as he found learned of it. He'd already rejected death in Keith's run before Annihilation. She accepted him and welcomed him to her realm because he'd fought for the universe, not against it.

Thanos was done as a villain. What other again is there for him as a villain? He's gonna kill the 616 again to please her? The work real good the last time remember? Conquer and enslave it because he knows what's best for the universe ala Doom? Thanos is a tyrant now? WTF? Or he could be searching for power, omnipotence, that would put him above even the abstracts yeah? I could see that happening. Maybe he can harness that power in his glove and call it the Eternity Glove.

It was just me being a fanboy saying Kang is the only enemy they could face. Tyrant -now that you mention it-, could be one, Maelstrom could be another.

The Fallen One is still around wrecking havoc? Is he dead?

I know what you are saying. I'm a Thanos fanboy, and TI gave me a bad taste in my mouth: On one hand, Thanos was physically portrayed how he should always be: a tough S.O.B., stomping the shit of everything that made contact with him. Thanos, IMO, was clearly head and shoulders above the "herald class", and his ass kicking of Lord Mar-Vell is a testimony of his presence in the "Skyfather class".
On the other hand, he was mentally portrayed like a sad emo, trying to whine his way to Death.

If Thanos have to be write in a near future, it has to be for either vengeance motives, if he come back evil, or for redemption, again, like in his mini, in which he was badass, in an anti-hero kind of way.

The thing with Thanos Imperative is that it disregards all of Starlin and Giffens past efforts. As you've said, he's become a whining baby that's lusting after Mistress Death while she turns her back on him for no explained reason. He showed up to Thanos Imperative to do next to nothing that would indicate he's ever evolved after the Infinity Gauntlet affair. Basically they want him to become a reason when there isn't a need and that's what I irritates me. As the avatar of death, he would still have been a hero/anti-hero serving the greater good of the universe by stopping the Cancerverse. Instead we get the "mad" Titan who's threatening to destroy existence because Death denied him. Jeezes, he should've in turn accepted it and rejected her like he did on Keith's run - he was above this.

No, I think you missed the whole part of Thanos' mini where he went on a mission to right the wrongs of his past. The part where he says the Crunch, the Genesis Cascade, what better place to recreate one's self. He and death argued for a bit with her remarking that he, in past times, would make the universe void of life as a gift to her but for her what would death be without life? This revelation shocked him for it bit. This then leads into Annihilation where she teams him up with Annihilus where he learned of Annihilus' plan to destroy both universe. He intended to stop it and died because of that. She accepted him and welcomed him because he fought for life, for universal balance. He grew as a character in the end. But I guess you and DnA missed that part. Or maybe they really didn't care for that and decided to take the character 20 years back so he could be a whiny villain again.

She rejected him because he saved her and the universe? And with that, he's pissed off and wants to destroy the universe. Great reason that's something this is not. There's plenty of reasons that could've turned him into a villain again. This isn't one of them.

Thanos: OMG!, she rejected me?! But but but, I luv her. Dammit Quill, I'm gonna kill you and the universe for bringing me back. AAAAHHHHHHH, I'M A VILLAIN AGAIN!!!

And thank goodness Devastation had nothing to do with Thanos. They would've harmed the character even further if they continued writing. Some are meant to write Thanos; some are not. I want DnA to stay the hell away from one of my fav character. For some reason, people seem to think the more expose Thanos gets the better it is for him. Read Thanos Imperative and you'll learn your lesson people.

Thanos just wanted revenge in a cosmic level, he knows Death doesn't want the universe destroyed so he wanted to destroy it. He was a whinner about it though.

Yeah thanos isn't going to be a villian. Not until they find some incredibly stupid excuse for bringing him back from the Cancerverse.

Preview Cover art for Annihilators issue 2

http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/images1/solicits/marvel/apr_11/ANNIHILATORS002_cvr.jpg

So....what did everyone think of Issue numero Uno?

Sounds like its obvious ronan is the weak link.

And has Doctor Dredd appeared before?

He's a Rom villain.

Personally I liked this, but characters need to be more developped for this to work in the long run.

I just had an idea. Dmills posted this.

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f95/t546596.html

Thanos is coming back. Doctor Dredd says he wants to cut through space. I see that as the best of Marvel's shitty excuses.

Ronan looked like he packed on some donuts in that picture.

I was underwhelmed by this issue. As others have pointed out in the Thanos thread, why would this team be so concerned about the damage they may cause, especially to their own HQ. It's not like mult-herald teams haven't existed before (hell, half these guys were already in the StarMasters together). And teams trash their HQs all the time. No point having a cosmic team without power.

Why is Quasar all whiny and insecure again? He spent years moving past all that. It's like he's almost back at square one again.

And Dr. Dredd as the villain? Odd choice - a minor Rom Spaceknight villain who only appeared in a few issues and was actually killed anyway, not even sent to limbo like most wraiths. I guess they may be able to salvage something out him but still...

Not even sure about the Wraiths. I mean they can be cool when done right, but didn't they already come back in the Spaceknights mini?

I guess they have a few more issues to get it right.

Keep in mind these guys are not only "herald powerful", but they also represent the Kree Empire and the Sh'iar, they are exactly the opposite than the old GotG, they are linked with the big galactic powers, including Galactus and the cosmic consonant. An official team of nukes is hardly something that can be foreseen for the long run.

I taught it was pretty good, actually. But man, how Ronan was the ***** in this issue!

The beginning was so terrible that I felt like I couldn't continue. Picked up though, good read. The art work is bad when it comes to their facial expressions; all else is good. Best part are the hammer brothers showing off their power set. I'm glad Ronan got a good showing under DnA.

The parts that were unbearable is whenever Quasar opened his mouth and how whinny he's being portrayed.

Don't like the artwork, but a good read overall, much better than the first issue. I guess Ronan isn't as useless as people think. Wraith Queen looks ugly, but pretty damn powerful.

This was crap again.

How powerful is Volx? She was powerful, but not anywhere near how she was portrayed in that final page of Annihilators. But she was cut off from the black sun and thus had no access to her magic during that New Warriors arc, so that may be why. She was forced to rely on subterfuge and her base level abilities, i.e. shape shifting, super strength and durability.

I'll try to dig up some scans tomorrow.

Sorry gents but this is all that I could find. I somehow lost my old New Warriors files so I'm going to have to dig up the comics and re-scan them

Iirc Volx was able to give Supernova a hard time even without access to her magic (I can't remember the exact context of the confrontation but I'll find it) and I think that Saal could take any of the Annihilators -save perhaps Norrin- one on one. So it stands to reason that at full power she'd be a handful.

I don't mind the art, I like the issues so far... I want this to succeed, but I'm sure it's meant to be short-lived. Oh well.

Thanks for the scans, those are pretty interesting. I wonder how much power she regained in the latest Annihilators book. Pretty impressive what she did near the end, but you never know what might happen in the next issue. I certainly didn't expect Ronan of all people to do what he did.

I don't see why they've written Quasar like this, considering when they wrote him in Nova's Annihilation mini, Nova and Guardians he was pretty confident with no signs of the angst he's shown here.

I don't mind the art terribly, but each character's personality seems to have shifted for the sake of a team format.

Meh.

Book 3 was good. Liked the story and where it is going. I didn't expect that twist at the end. Thought Immortus was the twist. The art isn't good but the action scenes were. As for characterizations, it's way off. Also, I wouldn't mind if this team actually got to push their powers to the max in fights instead of being held back because the writers were too lazy to think up convincing challenges for the team.

Yeah, book 3 was the best so far, liked the twists. I don't mind having the Annihilators fight something without showing powers, because we know the characters are powerful, we don't need their every showing being a feat. The plot still feels lacking for introducing a team of their caliber.

I didn't like issue 3 that much. It just didn't make that much sense to me.

This is a mixed bag for me guys. The quality of the story hasn't justified the $4.99 price tag. I haven't purchased one issue because I've seen the quality of DnA's work falling off for a while now. Frankly I'm not sure if ill even bother with the trades.

On another note, anybody see the recent interview where DnA basically said that they just bullshitted around with the last 10-15 issues of Nova? They've lost a fan with that chicken scratch.

The Rocket/Groot backup story is better imo, DnA seem to do very well with characters such as Rocket, Nova and Starlord with which they've invested a lot of time.

It's not a very good comic.

Annihilators issue 4 apparently (i'm guessing) had something to do with Ikon. Then again covers are rarely right.

Lame ending for a lame series. At least Immortus and Tempus got nice showings ermm

Hahaha.

That's the typed transcript of the sound of DnA laughing all the way to the bank! Weak sauce.

This is one of the comics in which characters talk a lot about how powerful they are instead of showing how powerful they are

thats all they do is talk trash during the whole comic?

It's stuff like "oh, we're so powerful, we're so dangerous; now let's keep fighting this fodder villains with random blasts". Seriously, I think one of Quasar's lines was actually "damn, Ronan is badass", yet somehow they had to team up Voltron style twice in the last issue

Yeah, that's one of the big reasons why this book sucks. The other reason is Quasar looking like a novice in space and turning emo. All I care about for this team is that they beat up powerful opponents with some light hearted humor. What we get are nut sucking done by Quasar in poorly written narrations.

Yep, some people were worried that the characters would've a bland characterization because they are kind of bland in most of their appearances. At the end we got the worse from two worlds, weak characters and weak power portrayal.

The one thing I liked about the entire mini was Ronan -and Rocket Raccoon, but I love that guy-.

This was blatant battleboard writing.

How could this have possibly passed as something that should be published?

It was like the story of one of the random SNES Dbz games.

would you recommend it?

Personally I wouldn't either: This is the one cosmic book Marvel published this past years I don't liked, it's worse than Chaos War. I'm serious when I say that the Rocket Raccoon part of the story it's way better that the "main" story.

You must really like Rocket a lot to buy this thing.

I'm disappointed that I bought all these issues... oh wait, no I didn't.

Thanos Imperative had way better portrayals... what the **** happened?

The art work alone is enough to make me cringe

Wasn't great. Hopefully something good will come of what immortus said.
