Annihilation 0

The second book in the Annihilation trilogy contains four issues of each of the following characters; Silver Surfer, Super Skrull and Ronan. I personally wasn't impressed with the first book. The story was confusing and didn't keep my attention and the art was nothing great at all. The second book only makes a slight improvement from the first. I liked the four issues on the Silver Surfer as they contained other heralds of Galactus which was nice to see. To my surprise my favorite part of the bo...
