Annihilation in a Nutshell
THE GOOD
Not only does this book offer all the important points within the Annihilation series, it does so with date/time stamps. You can quickly and easily see where each mini-event occurred in the Annihilation Wave timeline. It is very useful for keeping things straight. The art comes straight for the books, so it varies depending on which volume is being referenced.
The summaries for each mini-event were well written and get straight to the point.
THE BAD
Nothing bad about it. Some of the summaries were different than I remember their respective pages within the original series, but overall this book captures all the important points.
Oh, and I wish Silver Surfer was on the cover, I mean seriously, he was a MAIN character in this series! Don't worry, his involvement and impact on the series was well described in the interior.
THE VERDICT
Recommended - especially if you haven't read the Annihilation books in a while and want a quick refresher. This book encapsulates the hundreds of pages within the Annihilation series (and tie-ins) into one 32-page book (with no ads). If you have not read the Annhilation books, you may want to hold off on reading this book until after - it is basically 100% spoiler.
