Annihilation: Conquest

In the wake of the cosmic devastation left by Annihilation, Marvel’s 2008 miniseries Annihilation: Conquest sees writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning steering a galaxy-wide struggle against a new, insidious threat. As the Phalanx techno-organic virus spreads, heroes like Adam Warlock, the High Evolutionary, and the shape-shifting Kl’rt must navigate a shattered cosmos, with artist Tom Raney and Wellinton Alves delivering the epic, otherworldly visuals. This six-issue saga deepened Marvel’s cosmic line, establishing a darker, more complex tone that would define the era’s interstellar stories.
