Did anyone else read this? I really enjoyed it.
I downloaded it as it came out, but have re-read it twice since I got the Hardcovers.
The collections put the mini-series in chronolgical order rather than the original release order. Which makes perfect sense, but it does ruin the incredible effect that the minis created that shit was going down in a massive way all over the place.
My favourite moment of the series was the jump from the minis to the first pages of Annihilation proper, 6 months have passed and all the characters have grown and changed immesurably, dug in on the front lines of a galaxy wide Bug-War.
Anyway, now I've said that, is anyone reading Annihilation: Inevitable Sequel?
So far we've had the prologue and the first issue of 2 of the 4 minis. it's been interesting enough so far, but really it's all just more of the same so far, most of the major players from Annihilation are there, but the focus is shifted slighty.
I don't really buy The Phalanx as a threat so far, but I'm certain ther'll be a big reveal with somebody engineering the whole thing, as has been foreshadowed.
The first issue of Wraith was abysmal, unfortunately. Even worse than Ronan was at it's worst.
Nova was really good though, his mini was the star of the first go round and his journey through and since Annihilation has had me fall head over heels for the character. Which means [+] [-] Spoiler I'm still undecided about the issue's ending. In Conquest terms it's great, most powerful force in the galaxy gone in one. Shows the scale of the invasion and the danger everyone's in etc. And I suppose it fits nicely, only 7 months ago Richard was a new recruit, and he's only human, all it takes is one mistake and it's all over. But He was my favourite character discovery of las year, and watching his journey was brilliant. Of course, the chances of it lasting 3 issues are small I suppose. |
