Marvel’s Annihilation Returns for Annihilation Scourge with Nova, Beta Ray Bill and More

Annihilation returns to the Marvel Cosmic universe with new twists and turns and familiar faces doing the fighting.

In the original story, the Marvel cosmic heroes are caught off-guard and eventually managed to win the day against Fantastic Four villain Annihilus and his “Annihilation wave”. Now for Annihilation: Scourge, it looks like Annihilus  is running away from something. The first part of the story, will be written by Matthew Rosenberg and Juanan Ramirez.

Rosenberg says:

The original Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest are some of my favorite Marvel books of all time because they are so big in scale and yet so full of great characters and real drama. That’s what we’re doing here. It’s huge stakes, brutal action, universe destroying threats, and some of the best heroes (and not-quite heroes) the Marvel Universe has to offer thrown headfirst at it. We’re definitely paying tribute to the original Annihilation books, but I think for fans of those books they will be shocked at where this goes. And if you’ve never read Annihilation, stop reading this and go read it right now. Or maybe finish reading this, and then go read it. Either way, read it today.
