Annihilators #3

Penultimate chapter of Marvel's 2011 four-issue limited series, Annihilators #3 brings the cosmic tension to a fever pitch with Alex Garner's striking cover depicting a silver-skinned figure — likely Ronan the Accuser or Silver Surfer — caught in the crushing grip of a massive, shadowy alien creature with a single burning orange eye. The tendrils wrapping around the struggling hero and the shattered environment behind them suggest the Annihilators are facing something genuinely overwhelming. Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Tan Eng Huat deliver the main "Wraithfire" story, with a bonus Rocket Raccoon and Groot backup keeping the cosmic adventure well-rounded at a satisfying $4.99.
