I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It contains the majority of what you need to know. There are moments in the book when Nova & the Guardians appear that seem odd without having read their respective books but that does not take away from the overall story.
The first third of the book contains the main series along with the Secret Invasion prelude. The art & writing throughout... more

| 2. Infinite Crisis (DC Comics) |

By: Geoff Johns, Phil Jimenez, George Perez, Jerry Ordway, Ivan Reis, Andy Lanning
Publisher: DC Comics
September 20, 2006
Let me start out by saying this is my first review and I do not want to give any spoilers, so the info I give will be limited. This far surpasses the previous mega DC crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths from the 1980s, which this is considered a sequal of. The previous Crisis dragged on and on at the end. This book actually focused on a limited number of characters and was a lot less confusing... more

|
By: Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning
Publisher: Marvel Comics
December 02, 2009
Nova has been the real success story of Marvel's renewed interest in their cosmic characters & this book continues his great roll that he's on. HAMMER, the imminent death of Richard Rider, the insanity of Worldmind, the consequences of rebuilding the Nova Corps and the horrors of war are all dealt with in this book. I can't say an awful lot because it will spoil it for you but I will say that... more

Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 22, 2009
I enjoyed this series a lot. Don't know how on-the-money I am, but it seemed apparent to me right away that Dan Abnett was a big fan of Bill Willingham's Shadowpact, sharing the same foruth-wall-breaking approach to narrative and its snappy let's-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously dialogue. Instead of hanging out in a magical inter-dimensional bar, these heroes hang out in a colossal, inter-dimensionally... more

Publisher: Marvel Comics
October 31, 2007
Annihilation caught my eye during the midst of the Planet Hulk - World War Hulk, Civil War issues. After reading the first issue I got hooked and immediatley grabbed every issue I could get my hands on. It's a much better read than the aforementioned titles. I consider this a must have for any fan of comics, even if you aren't up to date with the characters or have any idea who they are, it's easy... more

October 07, 2009
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 collects issues 7 - 12 of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's series featuring the forgotten cosmic heroes of an old marvel series from the 70's. As if the first volume wasn't awesome enough, DNA (Abnett and Lanning) manage to outdo themselves with the second story arc, which revolves mostly around the Guardians saving Starlord from prison 42 in the Negative Zone. Mayhem and... more

The planet of Orblicin has become the next feast for Galactus. Nova arrives to assist in the evacuation. Sounds bad? Well a parasitic organism known as Harrow is capitalizing on the chaos. He is taking psychic control of the refugees and causing mass murder. What is Nova to do? Throw in a fight with the Silver Surfer and you've got an awesome story arc.
The second story arc involves a... more

| 10. Superman: Strange Attractors |
|
By: Gail Simone, Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning
Publisher: DC Comics
May 01, 2006
This is a joke. We have come so far that Superman is beaten down by Wonder Woman. This is the story that caused me to quit reading the whole 'Infinite' series. 12 different parallel worlds, with 12 different Supermen? I wonder if all 12 Wonder Women can out do all 12 Supermen.
And where did this lack of purpose come from that renders the Man of Steel so ineffectual these days? You know, the... more
