Annihilation: Ronan #1-4 (Annihilation Week)

Annihilation: Ronan (2006) #1
Cover to Issue #1.

   Ronan the Accuser is no more! No, he's not dead. He's been stripped of his title after being falsely accused of acts of sedition against the new ruling house of the Kree Empire. (With the reputation of the attempted assassination of the Supreme Intelligence, those charges might not be so trumped up.) Now, Ronan faces death if he ever returns to the confines of the Empire.

   Betrayed and oh so pissed, Ronan is on the hunt for the woman who bore false witness to the House of Fiyero. That leads him to a distant planet that just happens to be in the path of Annihilus's Annihilation Wave and Gamora, step-daughter of Thanos!

    Will Ronan find his own personal accuser? Will he meet his doom at the hands of the Most Dangerous Woman in the Galaxy, Gamora? Will everybody become the next meal for the ravenous drones of the invaders of the Negative Zone?

    Of the Annihilation minis, this one wasn't my favorite. The art was as sketchy and poorly inked as was some of the art in the Annhilation Prologue. However, the story in that book was fantastic. This tale wasn't so great. Also, what little I knew about Gamora was obviously not much. I did know she had a soul sword similar to that Magik uses in the Uncanny X-Men. I didn't know that she was a crime lord of sorts over a gang of crazy Amazons called the Graces. And I had know clue that Gamora originally dressed like a necromantic pole dancer! Hokey Smokes!

   Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
