These Annihilation series have lost a little steam with me. I can't really pin my finger on what the problem is. I'm gonna try to stick with them...for now.
The quest for the Kree savior ends in Annihilation: Conquest –– Quasar #4 as Pyhla-Vell, the daughter of Captain Marvel, and the former Avenger Moondragon take on the Phalanx and the Super Adaptoid! Writer Christos Gage (House of M: Avengers, WWH: X-Men) and penciler Mike Lilly (Nightwing) have stacked the odds against our heroes, leaving Phyla’s quantum bands drained, and facing an ever-adaptable villain backed with a full Phalanx army and armed with all the powers of the mightiest Avengers!
But who or what has sent Quasar and Moondragon on their quest? Who is the Kree savior? And what will become of the Kree if the Super Adaptoid beats them to their quarry?
The answers lie in Annihilation: Conquest –– Quasar #4 (of 4), the amazing issue that leads directly into Annihilation: Conquest #1!
“The art by Lilly is a great fit for this mini-series, and he truly does a great Super-Adaptoid. The entire artistic team on this book is well-suited to the subject matter, and bring a grace and fluidity to this adventure story,” says Adam Chapman of ComiXtreme.com. “I can't wait till next issue to see just who the Savior of the Kree is, once and for all.”

So, ah, Quasar's looking pretty good these days.
Launched by the Prologue that IGN.com calls a “Must Read,” summer’s biggest sci-fi epic, Annihilation: Conquest, continues with the pulse-pounding Annihilation: Conquest – Quasar #1 (of 4), as Phyla-Vell-- the daughter of Captain Marvel--takes center stage. Written by Christos Gage (Wizard Magazine’s “2007 Writer to Watch”) and penciled by Mike Lilley (Vampirella), this four-issue limited series follows the quest of Phyla and her companion, the former Avenger known as Moondragon, to obtain the mysterious key to halting the seemingly unstoppable conquest of the universe. Having recently gained the Quantum Bands, but still struggling to master their incredible power, Quasar desperately races across the now-occupied Kree Empire…with a deadly foe (familiar to Avengers fans) hot on her trail!
“Dark sci-fi and epic fantasy collide head-on in Quasar #1,” says Gage, “but what makes it resonate with me is that there's a compelling character story at the heart of it all. The new Quasar must live up to two heroic legacies -- both Wendell Vaughn, who wore the Quantum Bands before her, and her father, Captain Marvel, are legends throughout the galaxy. It's my hope that not only will fans of cosmic action enjoy this book, but that anyone who likes heroic fiction of any type, from ‘Lord Of The Rings’ to ‘Star Wars’ will get caught up in the quest as well.”
“Christos Gage knows how to deliver character-driven action, Mike Lily excels in dynamic and lush visuals, and cover artist Matt Wilson is one of the gaming world’s top talents,” says editor Bill Rosemann. “Add it all up and you have an intense adventure that mixes all the things we love about fantasy and sci-fi into an epic at the heart of Annihilation: Conquest.”
Phyla-Vell struggles to accept her new powers and the weight of her legacy, can she find a way to save the universe…or will she too be crushed by the new enemies revealed in Annihilation: Conquest-- Prologue?

So this is supposed to be an exclusive to Marvel's myspace. If you're interested in seeing it, just follow the link there.
Marvel Comics & MySpace.com have teamed up to present your first look at the space epic ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST. The eagerly anticipated follow-up to Annihilation, which IGN.com called “one of 2006's best events,” CONQUEST promises more action, drama, and surprises than its predecessor.
“The ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST PROLOGUE is the starting gun for the crazy sci-fi race that will rock all of your favorite cosmic heroes -- and introduce you to some soon-to-be favorites,” explained editor Bill Rosemann. “NOVA writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are sci-fi masters and--together with the amazing art of Mike Perkins (CAPTAIN AMERICA) --have crafted a kick-butt kick off to the entire event. As for what it's about, I'd have to say: humanity's eternal fight for freedom -- but I can't say who it's against!”
“The first ANNIHILATION event paved the way by reminding everyone just how cool Marvel's sci-fi heroes and villains were,” added Rosemann. “ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST aims to continue the tradition while also attempting to deliver some different thrills and chills. We're also giving different and new characters the spotlight to strut their stuff. So if you read the first story, look for more widescreen action, breathtaking cliffhangers, and jaw-dropping surprises. And if you didn't read ANNIHILATION, all you need to know is that heroes like Star-Lord, Quasar and Wraith are fighting for your future!”
For the next week, the opening chapter of the ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST PROLOGUE will be available on MySpace.com, so be sure to visit and check it out at
