Product Description
The Annihilation Wave has come! Annihilus, lord of the Negative Zone, has declared war! Hordes of loyal soldiers swarm from the center of the universe, and only a handful of heroes can resist destruction! As the Xandarian Nova Corps meet its doom, only Richard Rider - the man called Nova - survives. Now the sole custodian of the Worldmind, the Zandarian's database of knowledge and experience, can he rediscover himself in time to lead the war effort against the Annihilation Wave? Drax the Destroyer returns from exile on Earth to mentor Nova - but wait until you see his dangerous new persona! Guest-starring Quasar, Ronan the Accuser, the Super-Skrull and Thanos! Collecting Drax the Destroyer #1-4, Annihilation Prologue and Annihilation: Nova #1-4.

Before you buy this, and I recommend that you do! You should read as much as you can from the Infinity series, which in some senses leads up to the Annihilation event.
Namely the stuff collected in, it makes ALOT of sense to read this in order - (please note: an excellent present for any who reads comics :D)
Silver Surfer: Rebirth Of Thanos TPB: Thanos: Infinity Quest (Silver Surfer),
Infinity Gauntlet,
Infinity War TPB (Marvel Masterworks Library),
Infinity Crusade Volume 1 TPB: v. 1,
Infinity Crusade Volume 2 TPB: v. 2
Thanos: Infinity Abyss: 2 (Thanos),
Marvel Universe, The End: 3 (Thanos)
This will give you great and useful insight into some of the major players including Thanos, Drax, Galactus and Gamora.
This is Book 1 of the Annihilation Wave story arc where Annihilus attempts to take over the universe. Don't be put off by Annihilus' presence! I'm sure you have seen Annihilus getting whipped by the Fantastic Four time and time again, this time, however he is playing for keeps.
The first book opens contains Drax the Destroyer #1-4, Annihilation Prologue and Annihilation: Nova #1-4. It starts of slowly, but once you get an understanding for what is happeing. Whoa!!!
This, Annihilation Wave story, is best thing I've read from Marvel in decades and nods its head to the other great story, the Infinity Gaunlet arc by Jim Starlin in the early 1990s.
While the new "Utimate" branded titles are a decent re-telling of some classic stories, this is much more and shakes the Marvel Universe to its foundations (unlike the rather tame Civil War saga). Starring the most powerful characters in Marvel. Annihilus, Drax, Ronan, The Silver Surfer (+ all the other heralds) Galactus, Thanos, Nova, and many many more.
Best of all there is no Fantastic Four, no x-Men, and no Avengers. It's almost pure Sci-Fi told within the Marvel Universe framework.
Get Book 2 Annihilation Book 2 TPB: Bk. 2 (Annihilation) and Book 3 Annihilation Book 3 TPB: Bk. 3 (Annihilation) and settle down for an awesome experience.

I worked backwards to this after following Abnett & Lanning's Guardians of the Galaxy, War of Kings, Thanos Imperative, and I'm glad I did. Nobody does space opera better than them and the great Keith Giffen (plus many others, of course). The Drax miniseries is really enjoyable! Highly recommended.

While there's plenty of other books featuring these characters - most of which have been around since the 1970s - there's no need to buy lots of other books if you don't want to. While it acknowledges their histories, this story arc really propels the characters into brand new situations.
Drax is completely changed in the opening storyline, then Nova gets the overhaul after the events of Annihilation Prologue #1 which begins the cosmic epic. Shameless cosmic fun. Even better reading it the second time around in tpb format.
