Annihilation Conquest

Annihilation Conquest is a 2007 Marvel Comics crossover event and a sequel to the Annihilation event from 2006. This series focuses on additional cosmic heroes who will be charged once again with defending the universe in its entirety. Nova is slated to return in a title role, along with Quasar, Star-Lord, and a new character by the name of Wraith.

While very few details as to the nature of this series have been discussed, it has been made official that the format will exactly mirror that of its predecessor with one minor difference. Instead of four four-issue miniseries preceding the six-issue main event there will be three. In place of the fourth will be four issues of the ongoing series Nova.

Aside from the four title characters, Ronan the Accuser, Moondragon, and Super-Skrull appear on the prologue cover, indicating that they will have at least some involvement. No others have been confirmed.

Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus

Two spin-off one-shots featuring two stories each issue, the first issue features Stardust and Terrax, the second features Firelord and Silver Surfer.

In Terrax, after being captured, enslaved and made a pawn of Annihilus, Terrax has broken free...only to crash-land on a planet ruled by the Space Parasite! Facing an enemy who can absorb his cosmic power, will Terrax assume the fearsome role of The Tamer once again...or has the trauma of his enslavement broken his once-mighty spirit?

In Stardust, Stardust is dead. But what was he? Who was he? And is he really gone?

In Silver Surfer, the Silver Surfer chases down Tenebrous and Aegis, the two cosmic power-houses who took out Galactus!

In Firelord, Firelord rounds up the Centurians--Annihilus's elite force that murdered his homeworld--and takes his revenge.

Sequels and spin-offs

After the Annihilation event concluded, Marvel announced a new Nova ongoing series, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, as well as a second crossover event in a similar format, Annihilation Conquest.
