This is it, the beginning of the next Annihilation main event! In the PROLOGUE, the Phalanx launched a sneak attack on the Kree Empire, in NOVA, QUASAR, STAR-LORD and WRAITH, heroes separated by distance but united by willpower took their first steps to liberating a galaxy in peril. Now all the threads begin to weave together -- and if you thought the surprises were over, think again! What are the Phalanx really after? What new players will change the game? And what last-page reveal will leave your jaw hanging? Grab your weapon and join the fight for freedom with the powerhouse creative team of writers Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning and penciler Tom Raney (ULTIMATE X-MEN)!
"Despite the 17 (seventeen!) issues leading up to this event, the first ACTUAL issue for Conquest still has to set up all the various plots and characters running through this epic space story. Luckily for those of us who did read all 17 (seventeen!) prelude parts, there’s a few cool reveals, including the mastermind behind the Phalanx threat, and the character destined to stop him, as well as some good work by writers Abnett & Lanning and artist Tom Raney. It should be all systems go with the next issue, but this one feels a little sluggish."
