This was another very good comic - but not without its issues. In particular, there was some odd plagiarism in Silver Surfer #2 which somehow slipped past Marvel Editorial. In particular, several backgrounds from Annihilius' throne room were lifted directly from Emperor Palpatine's Observation Room on the Death Star II in Return of the Jedi. I don't know how that got by, but it did, and I can't not see it.

Otherwise, this is some great writing, and a great cosmic superhero comic. I'm in for Book Three.

Annihilation: Silver Surfer 3/5
Annihilation: Super Skrull 4.5/5
Annihilation: Ronan the Accuser 1.5/5 (.5 only because it has Nebula)

One star might be a little brutal, but this book was definitely not "okay". It's muddled, bombastic, and almost unreadable, featuring some of the more uninteresting SF characters from the Marvel pantheon. There are one or two mildly interesting moments, but the art is mediocre at best, the dialog limps and is at times painfully juvenile...all in all, not worth the time or effort to read.

Overall an entertaining volume. The section on Ronan was ass tho.
