The Last Nova’s story continues in Conquest 2099

Posted on by

Annihilation 2099 took readers beyond the scope of Earth, revealing the impact 2099 events have on the entire galaxy and beyond. Annihilation 2099 #1 kicked off with a bang as the new Nova 2099 removed his iconic helmet and turned out to be none other than WOLVERINE! Over the course of Annihilation 2099, Steve Orlando and artists Ibraim Roberson, José Luís, Pete Woods, Ario Anindito, and Dale Eaglesham will shape the 2099 cosmos and set the stage for the next 2099 epic launching this October—Conquest 2099, a new limited series by Orlando, Roberson, Luís, and more.

THE IMPALER SCORNED! Dracula has conquered a world determined to quash him! Now, with an army at his back, he sets his sights on the new vampire homeworld – Domus Draconum! What he discovers will shatter his dark heart and set him on a collision course with Nova, Spider-Man, the X-Men 2099, the new Spider-Woman of 2099, and more!

More thrilling and unpredictable than ever, Marvel Comics’ dystopian 2099 future has experienced a resurgence of popularity in the last few years with hit series like writer Steve Orlando’s Miguel O’Hara: Spider-Man 2099 Beware and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis. Each saga pushes the limits of 2099 storytelling as new heroes and threats rise in this twisted society ruled by corrupt corporate entities.

Revealed in Annihilation 2099 #1, WOLVERINE IS THE LAST NOVA! A remote town on a remote world is devastated by the ravenous, unforgiving Knull Set, a gang of raiders and thieves obsessed with offering all life up to Knull, the God of darkness and creator of the Symbiotes. But that all changes when a stranger comes to town, a stranger from the stars who answers to his own code. The last survivor of Xandar… the last Nova. What great tragedy does Logan carry on his back now? Is he the inheritor of the Nova Corps or its destroyer?

Annihilation 2099 will continue to debut and shed light on major players of the 2099 cosmos including Starlord 2099, Red Hulk 2099, Silver Surfer 2099, and Dracula 2099. Then, the galaxy will erupt into war against Dracula 2099 in Conquest 2099. This latest 2099 series will see the return of Wolverine as Nova 2099 and see him join forces with the X-Men 2099.

Check out Leinil Francis Yu’s cover for Conquest 2099 #1, on sale this October, and Eaglesham’s design sheet for Nova 2099. Experience the opening battles of the war that will shake the 2099 cosmos by picking up Annihilation 2099 #1 at your local comic shop today!

Annihilation 2099 #1 is interesting but feels a bit worn

A remote town on a remote world is devastated by the ravenous, unforgiving KNULL SET, a gang of raiders and thieves obsessed with offering all life up to the darkness. But that all changes when a stranger comes to town, a stranger from the stars who answers to his own code. THE LAST SURVIVOR OF XANDAR… the LAST NOVA. Who is the Last Nova, and what great tragedy does he carry on his back? Is he the inheritor of the NOVA CORPS or its destroyer? Annihilation 2099 #1 carries the classic event name in the title, but feels a bit more like Old Man Nova in more than one way.

Written by Steve Orlando, Annihilation 2099 #1 features two stories and kicks off a series of one-shot comics that introduces the cosmic side of the 2099 world with new characters. Unfortunately, as far as a first issue, the comic feels more like other stories than the classic Annihilation events.

Orlando in “The Last Nova” introduces us to the last member of the Nova Corps. Who is he? Well, it becomes pretty obvious after a bit, well before the eventual reveal. The story is interesting in that it feels less like Annihilation, which featured a cosmic level event and invasion that was a real threat and instead is more of the western genre, like Old Man Logan. We get a sense as to the tragic story of this Nova member as he takes a stand against a gang in a besieged town. It’s a story we’ve seen so many times before and unfortunately features a character under the helmet that’s worn and overused.

SPOILER

The reason it feels worn is because it is. Under the mask is… Logan, yes Wolverine takes on yet another role. There’s the Phoenix infused future version. There’s the recent Ghost Rider version. Now, we get the Nova version in a story that is aspects of Old Man Logan reskinned. If there was another character under the mask, it might have worked for the better, but as is, it’s rather predictable with a character that’s overused.

SPOILER ENDS

The comic also features “Dracula Risen” with the classic Dracula found and terrorizing the crew of a spaceship. The comic has a B-movie horror aspect about it that’s fun in a goofy way and hopefully we get more of this but it’s a story that’s more potential than payoff.

Ibraim Roberson handles the art for the first story while Dale Eaglesham handles the second. The art is decent for both and visually they’re interesting. Nova embraces its western genre roots while the latter plays with its horror movie aspects. They’re joined by Neeraj Menon and Raul Angulo on color and Cory Petit on lettering. When it comes to the art, make sure to check out the notes at the end and the details of the Nova outfit. It made me appreciate the art a bit more than the initial comic.

Overall, Annihilation 2099 #1 isn’t bad but it’s not what’s expected concerning its name. If you go in think it’s a new take on the classic story, you’ll be disappointed like I was. But, it could be interesting to kick off an expansion of the 2099 universe, introducing new aspects and characters leading to… something. Overall, this could be one where the whole is better than the individual parts.

THE ENCHANTRESS OF WORLDS! The Son of Odin came to the citadel of Roxxon – to make war for the sake of the Earth herself. But his enemies were waiting to steal from him the one thing that was Thor’s alone…and they had crafted the foulest of weapons to do it. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR…and of the trap he could not escape.

Immortal Thor #9

From the pages on Immortal Thor… the Roxxon Age of Marvel Begins!

Posted on by

Roxxon Energy Corporation has bought out Marvel Comics?! Their first order of business is releasing an all-new Thor one-shot this April titled Roxxon Presents: Thor #1, and they even got Al Ewing and Greg Land to create it! The one-shot will introduce the all-new Roxxin’ Thor! Whenever saving the Earth is taken too far, the Roxxin’ Thor will be there to defend big business and the sanctity of shareholder value!

This strange turn of events should come as no surprise to those who have been reading Ewing’s Immortal Thor run. Recent issues have shown Roxxon CEO Dario Agger, a.k.a. the Minotaur, orchestrate a bold plan to bring Thor down by warping the public’s perception of him. And how better to do that than by owning the rights to his hit 616 comic book series and showing the world what a buffoon he is! It’s the Thor fans truly know and love—no thoughts, just muscles, a hammer, and zero hesitation to bring them both down on the most one-dimensional villains ever seen in a comic book—along with anyone that gets in Roxxon’s way!

Over in Immortal Thor #9, Ewing will continue his work with artist Ibraim Roberson as they bring in The Enchantress! The Son of Odin goes to the corporate headquarters of Roxxon – to make war for the sake of the Earth herself. But his enemies are waiting to steal from him the one thing that was Thor’s alone…and they have crafted the foulest of weapons to do it. This is the story of The Immortal Thor…and of the trap he cannot escape. And if you didn’t follow any of that, just check out the glorious cover by Alex Ross below!

Meanwhile in in the OFFICIAL Thor title presented by Roxxon, meet the Roxxin’ Thor! In his secret identity as A.I. spokesguru Chad Hammer, the son of Odin knows Mama Gaea is a TOP PRIORITY for heroes AND for business! But when a group of insane environmental activists take “saving the Earth” TOO FAR, it’s time to show them the wisdom on both sides – as Thor! But which God of Evil is prompting the kids to rebel? Could it be…LOKI, GOD OF EVIL??? Featuring an all-star cast of heroes! MINOTAUR! EXECUTIONER! ENCHANTRESS! And the THOR-TRUCK! This is the story of THE ROXXIN’ THOR… and it’s a VITAL part of the “ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTION” MEGA-EVENT!

Check out the covers for May’s installments of both Immortal Thor and the earth-shattering, monumental book you’ve really been waiting for—Roxxon Presents: Thor #1! Preorder both—especially Roxxon’s—at your local comic shop today!
