Annihilation Conquest [Spoilers]

Just read Annihilation Conquest #1

It starts out with Phyla-vell fighting a couple of scoundrels and Moondragon appearing to cover her back. They exchange some words and Phyla does some contemplating on whether or not she's a decent successor to Quasar. The bands seem to be speaking to her now, though I think the green coloured speech bubbles make it seem like it's Moondragon using her telepathy.

Ronan's crowning or whatever is finished and he's the leader of the Kree it seems. Meanwhile Starlord's upgrading the Kree's defenses and trying tio score with some Kree chick. He pretty much fails at both as the Phalanx are back. They're taking over just like before, infecting and creating one of their nasty towers.

They're in control of some pretty nasty robots that were supposed to serve as Kree defenses, pretty powerful if you ask me. Phyla had to try in order to kill one.

Starlord gets shot a couple of times, though I'm not entirely sure if he actually dies. It doesn't look like he took the shots too well though.

So;

- Starlord's quite popular with the Kree it seems
- Ronan's the big man now
- Phyla's a confirmed lesbian
- Phalanx are sporting a new look

The phalanx is a lame set of villains for an entire empire....for yrs the Xmen have been pwning these idiots and now all of a sudden they oveerun an entire throne world in two minutes..pfft

They look different, look like a bunch of predators (from alien vs pred)

Phalanx?.....ugh. I'd rather have the overgrown cockroaches back.

I was hoping it'd be The Beyonder just to have some cohesiveness with the first Annihilation.

Meh doesn't really bother me. It makes better sense that the phalanx were able to establish control while annihilation was taking place and the kree were distracted then if a frontal attack took place.

I've always like the Phalanx, so i don't mind them being the big bad. Though there's probably more to this than just them.

I haven't read the issue yet, so i'll reserve judgment till then.

are they gonna be the new big threat? If you guys hate them you might like them eventually in this series i mean who gave a crap about annihlus before the first annihilation.

Phalanx is just a version of the Borg. Hopefully they can portray them more menacing and in a larger scope.

Great issue

Yeah, good issue. Faaar better than the prologue issue for the previous Annihilation. Hopefully the rest turns out better also.

i still say pffttglare the phalanx dont rank... i would even choose the brood or asgardian rock trolls over them

I'm kinda hating the Brood. Can't stand the whole Alien rip off 🙂

Asgardian rock trolls are awesome.

Hoho, touché

Can't wait until next issue.

I loved the Prologue and i'm hoping the tie-in's will be just as good.

So far though I have a feeling i'm going to like Conquest more than the original Annihilation, mainly because for the first 3 issues of Annihilation I had no god damn idea who half the characters were, so everything makes a lot more sense now
