Sandman's Endless, or gods *of* something) or constraints, then you need a decent plot and well-drawn characters to make the story interesting. The problem is that with a whole raft of interplanetary super-powered characters, it is easy to lapse into all of them having godlike powers of undetermined extent, and unless they have particular themes (e.g. Apparently? Well, of course not, but a villain and a confrontation which at the outset appears foreboding and meaningful ends up as brawling power match-up and then it ends. This collection tells the tale of the invasion of the Annihilation Wave across the known universe, destroying huge civilisations in its apparently unstoppable wake. If you go into this omnibus expecting a fairly low-brow mega-powered intergalactic would-be epic, you'll not be disappointed. All in all, great story that takes you all over the universe with a boatload of cosmic characters. Then all the loose ends get wrapped up in the 2 Heralds of Galactus issues. I like how Thanos had his own secret plan as he was working with Annihilus. Then the 6 Annihilation issues, the big battle. Each mini shows how the wave affects what they had going on. This trend continues with the other minis, Silver Surfer, Super-Skrull which I really enjoyed and Ronin. This then rolls into the 4 Nova issues which shows how he is dealing with that and eventually puts together a crew to fight back. This was a brutal destruction of the planetary system.
Then we get the actual Annihilation Wave come and hit its first victim, the Nova corps. Had the whole fish out of water vibe as these people not from earth crash land here and try to figure out how to leave. So I figured I’d wait until I got all of it. Afterwards I discovered this was all connected with the War of Kings and Realm of kings. Last year Marvel did a reprint on this omni so I definitely had to grab it. I reluctantly passed on the trades that come across my path which paid off. Here’s another book that I’ve wanted to read for awhile.
