They keep announcing more events. Why? Why do they keep announcing new events? Eleven days ago, we covered the statement of the marvel event extreme Carnage. Right before that, we’re getting the Planet-Sized X-Men: Hellfire Gala. as well as before that? Heroes Reborn, which starts soon. Meanwhile, marvel is wrapping up King in Black, which complied with X of Swords which complied with Avengers/Fantastic Four: Empyre. however if you believed marvel filled the slate enough, you’d be wrong. We’re getting yet another! The Last Annihilation, a crossover event between Guardians of the Galaxy as well as SWORD. as well as yet again, it seems like an remarkable epic.

Just as Heroes Reborn celebrates the event’s 25th Anniversary, The Last Annihilation does so with Annihilation from 2006. If you haven’t checked out Annihilation, you truly should. It’s one of the biggest marvel events of all time. However, Marvel’s cosmic side is likewise in the perfect location for one more Annihilation wave. Empyre set up a extremely shaky peace in the universe, with the Kree as well as Skrulls uniting under Emperor Hulkling. But, just as the structure of intergalactic society started stabilizing, Knull came through. as well as he, well, annihilated a number of star systems, culminating in King in Black.

The Last Annihilation is an event that truly Culminates a number of Events

Currently, the Guardians of the Galaxy are having a hard time to keep these new alliances. Meanwhile, the X-Men have resurrected the SWORD agency. In fact, in April 21st’s SWORD #5, Abigail brand quickly ended the brutal “Snarkwar” conflict. It just took a few swift assassinations from a remarkable new character (seriously, checked out it!). Yet, thanks to Empyre Avengers: Aftermath, we understand that SWORD shows up to save the Guardians’ collective asses. Did we understand that with the remarkable last page of Aftermath? No – it was completely ambiguous. however now we understand what all of this means. SWORD isn’t there to punish Hulkling, as some have speculated. The X-Men are when once again going to save the universe.
And that brings us to X of Swords, which brought SWORD back. The X-Men actually just beat a villain called Annihilation, saving Otherworld, the Earth, as well as the world all at once. If Apocalypse didn’t master the Annihilation helm, the “last annihilation” would have been horrifying. Actually, Wolverine saw it in a vision Saturnyne provided him. Here’s a hint: it wasn’t good. Now, Saturnyne transformed the helm into a scepter. So, will the Annihilation scepter play a part in the event? Or have we seen the last of it in X of Swords?
The event Kicks Off in Guardians of the Galaxy #16 as well as SWORD #7 – as well as will likely include a number of Titles.
So, it appears like Hulkling as well as physician Doom are going to the Hellfire Gala…awesome! (Image: SWORD #7, marvel Comics)
Marvel’s statement suggests a large event, as well as if we’re speaking about worlds of Guardians as well as X-Men colliding, it should be. Yes, event burnout is already a problem. however some events just phone call for all the tie-ins as well as crossovers. As the writer of both Guardians as well as SWORD said:
“GUARDIANS as well as S.W.O.R.D. have been building their own unique gravity for a while now. In space, when two objects have gravity, there’s a quite great possibility they’ll accident into each other – or get sucked into the orbit of something even bigger. marvel area these days is a fragile coalition of worlds that selected peace over war. A bit bubble of hope in a cruel void. however there’s an opponent nobody ever suspected readying an assault that’ll either cement all those frail alliances or tear them to pieces.”
So, what will be the event coming after The Last Annihilation? We got two symbiote events, two area events, two x-men events. I’m believing Mole guy is overdue for a mass crossover event. So, get prepared for the eight-part, 96 tie-in issues, crossover, Alpha flight + Defenders: Subterranea.
