So really, I have very few bad things to say about about Conquest. I am a tad bit disappointed in the art. Tom Raney isn't one of those artists whose style has a significant amount of overt flaws to pick out. As long as you don't mind certain characters having different jaw structures every panel, there's little to complain about. At the same time, there's nothing especially praise-worthy about this issue. When compared to Andrea do Vito's masterful work in the original Annihilation, the art is one aspect of this sequel that just doesn't measure up. The story fares better, though. Superior in some ways, slower and more restrained in others, Annihilation Conquest manages to stand out as one of the best event books of the year. Whether it will retain that title when Secret Invasion hits next year is another story entirely. Read Full Review
