Annihilators

A four-issue miniseries from Marvel, Annihilators (2011) assembles the company's most powerful cosmic heroes—including Quasar, Gladiator, and Silver Surfer—into a strike team under the leadership of Rocket Raccoon. Tasked with confronting threats too vast for any single being, the team faces off against the resurrected Magus and his Universal Church of Truth. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with art by Tan Eng Huat, the series is a direct sequel to the Realm of Kings storyline and a key chapter in Marvel's cosmic saga. Though brief, it matters for cementing the cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe as a distinct, epic playground.
