Annihilation (comics)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Each of the main characters get at least one, usually accompanied by an awesome full page spread.
    • Drax leaping into the horde of Annihilus' bugs to give the evacuating Alliance time to escape. And later on, he manages to fulfill his purpose and kill Thanos by ripping out his heart.
    • Super-Skrull giving up his life to destroy the Harvester of Sorrows. He got better.
    • Ronan the Accuser downing Ravenous with one single hammer blow. "GUILTY!"
    • Galactus destroying the Annihilation Wave with one blast after being set free by Drax.
    • And finally, Nova avenges the destroyed Nova Corps by ripping out Annihilus' guts from his mouth.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Drax the Destroyer before his mini series that lead into the event and his appearances was not nearly as popular or well known.
  • First Installment Wins: While there had been many Crisis Crossovers after this one in the cosmic Marvel series, fans still agree that Annihilation is the best yet.
  • Mary Sue: Wraith in Annihilation: Conquest he wears all black, rides a (black) space motorcycle, fights with a (black) whip, and comes from a conveniently forgotten off shoot of the Kree (who also wear all black) that are so hardcore that only pain is intense enough to make them feel anything because the (black) parasite that makes them immortal also eats their immortal souls. It gets better, the Phalanx (a race of emotionless robotic parasites) are afraid of him. Torture makes him laugh. It's like Marvel hired a emo 14-year-old to write for them.
