Five One-Shot Stories Spawn Out of ANNIHILATION – SCOURGE Event
September 18, 2019The upcoming Annihilation – Scourge event is set to throw the Marvel Universe into a tailspin and now, the story gets even bigger, with five oversized one-shot tales announced as well.
The event kicks off in November, with Annihilation – Scourge: Alpha #1, from Matthew Rosenberg and Juanan Ramirez, as something is stirring in the Negative Zone and the Marvel Universe isn’t ready for it! Nova will now assemble a team that is hopefully powerful enough to tackle the threat.
Annihilation – Scourge: Nova #1 | W: Matthew Rosenberg, A: Ibraim Roberson
Logline: The universe hangs in peril! With no room for old grudges, Nova is forced to team up with one of his most nefarious adversaries – ANNIHILUS! But can Richard Rider trust the ruler of the Negative Zone to fight alongside him – or will this turn into a war with two fronts?
Annihilation – Scourge: Silver Surfer #1 | W: Dan Abnett, A: Paul Davidson
Logline: The Scourge is closing in, wreaking havoc across the galaxy. The Silver Surfer has returned in time to bear witness to the Scourge’s atrocities – but his new status quo leaves him helpless to intervene! Will the Surfer be able to find a way to save the fleeing innocents around him – or will he be forced to stand by and herald in a new age of death?
Annihilation – Scourge: Beta Ray Bill #1 | W: Michael Moreci, A: Alberto Alburquerque
Logline: The Scourge has arrived! As the local population becomes infected, will Beta Ray Bill be able to fight back the horde and save the innocents—or are they already lost? Overwhelmed, will Bill himself fall victim to the Annihilation wave?!
Annihilation – Scourge: Fantastic Four #1 | W: Christos Gage, A: Diego Olortegui
Logline: Alerted to a potential tear in the dimension, the Fantastic Four go to investigate – but what they discover is so much worse than they prepared for! Will the Fantastic Four be able to hold back the Scourge or will the Negative Zone finally succeed in tearing this family apart? Overrun, the Fantastic Four are about to learn: No one ever truly comes home from war.
Annihilation – Scourge: Omega #1 | W: Matthew Rosenberg, A: Manuel Garcia
Logline: In the face of the Annihilation, there is no more room in the cosmos for heroes or villains – only survival.
Each of the four character one-shots come equipped with connecting covers as well.
Annihilation – Scourge: Alpha #1 goes on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 20, while all other one-shots will release in December.
