A destructive force punctures through the edge of our universe, barreling into the moon-sized Kyln prisons there. The moment this Annihilation Wave tore into our universe is universally marked as Annihilation Day.
After ripping through the ancient gulags, Annihilus, the armada’s undisputed ruler, sets his sights on Xandar, the home world of the intergalactic peacekeeping force known as the Nova Corps.
Seven days later, on Xandar, the entire Corps assembles for a debriefing on the Kyln destruction and get their marching orders. During the debriefing, the forces called the Annihilation Wave struck Xandar. The ensuing battle was monumental, disastrous, vicious, and totally consuming. The Nova Corps fell all too quickly. The question now is, with the Nova Corps gone, who can possiblly hold off the Annihilation Wave?
Amidst the chaos, an alien powerhouse named Drax the Destroyer, a prisoner of the Nova Corps, escapes during the battle with a young human girl named Cammi.
Ronan the Accuser, a powerful officer of the militaristic Kree Empire from the Greater Magellanic Cloud, is arrested on charges of treason.
It has been months since the Annihilation Wave burst into our universe. Ronan has been on the run from Kree authorities since his trial. He seeks those who testified against him. That search has led him to the distant planet Bwokk.
The Silver Surfer, former herald to Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, senses a disturbance in the galaxy—something more akin to an infestation than an invasion.
The Super-Skrull, a super-powered soldier from a race of shape-shifters, breaks from his undercover mission and returns to his home galaxy to confront the Annihilation Wave.
The Annihilation Wave rests in orbit around Xandar’s broken remains. Inside the flagship sits Annihilus. There is no bargaining with Annihilus. There is no reasoning with him. And very possibly, there is no stopping him.
Said to include Thanos, Quasar and other hard hitters.
I guess this is the epic event while Civil war the 'earth based' event.

Idk, I read the prologue to Annihilation with an open mind and I wasnt too impressed. Wasnt bad, but nothing stunning. I will still read it as more comes out and make my over all judgement then, but right now its not very high on my anticipation meter. Civil War on the other hand is different
Honestly, the Annihilation prologue wasn't appealing to me at all, in fact I didn't even bother reading all of it. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the SuperScroll mini and maybe the sliver surfer one. Oh and I also think the timing of this is too funny. Plus the same writer who worked on IC is working on this. (Offtopic: I find 1year late Jsa Identified 10# feels like a doom comic)
As far as civil war is concerned, I think I'm a bit out of the marvel loop.
Can someone maybe fill me in on which two or three comics, for each superhero, jumped started civil war. I think I remember seeing Nitro blowing up some kids, but that's all. Of late, I've just been dling older marvel titles, I wanted to read and ignoring some of the new ones.
*cough* Marvel's trying to do a 'cosmic' event to rip off Infinite Crisis *cough*
IMO Annihilation will be an entertaining, but still unoriginal copy of parts of IC.
Note: Entertaining, but nonetheless too much like IC to be a coincidence
This project has been in the works for years. trying to say that that one company just came up with a idea to outdo the other is stupid. and the Lay out of hte prolog followed by 4 minis followed by a 6 issue mini was planed out LONG before Countdown was ever announced.
I loved the Prolog and can't wait for this to get off the ground. Marvels Cosmic chars have pretty much bored me to tears for years and I really hope this turns that around.
What I couldn't figure out was if it was in the Ultimate Universe or 616 universe. I can only download my comics by torrent and so am routinely screwed since I only get what DCP puts out but they put out alot so more props to them.

Unless a Book Has the Words ULTIMATE __________ in the Title it's a 616 book.
Annihilation is set in the reg Marvel Universe.
Just because 2 storylines take place on a cosmic level doesn't mean they are ripping each other off. The plots are so different.
Spoiler:
I love the displays of power SS has shown, like going millions of times the speed of light, and creating a black hole like it was nothing.
Silver Surfer was nothing to call home about, and I don't think it will be since the writer Keith Giffen is a DC guy and has done little in the way of Marvel.
However, Super-Skrull was a bit better. It contained a great action sequence with Super-Skrull fighting off his fellow Skrulls. The writing though, was flat.
Surfer #2 is out.
Pretty good one, i liked the Fallen ones Bio at the end, it tells of his Abilities.. he a lightspeed mover and is able to absorb/manipulate dark matter. His skin is also a invunerable dark matter shell.
We'll have to add him in some Battledomb fights later
I've read Silver Surfer 1&2 with little to none prior knowledge of the releases before it. Therefore I didn't understand a lot, but the issues were nice to read. Thanos seems like an interesting character.
