Both stories get equal time this time around and both provide great moments. The cosmic level of the Annihilators matched with the craziness of Rocket and Groot is a great combination. The level of adorableness Timothy Green II infuses the art the B-story with (particularly the look of Rocket Raccoon) is just wonderful. If you only bought one comic this week I hope it was this one. It's rare I'm happy paying $5 for a single issue, but this time I think I got my money's worth. Must-read. Read Full Review

Does this mean equating a fresh voice to the Cosmic U for the first time in years? Though in DnA I trust, how about someone like Jonathan Hickman? With Secret Warriors almost done, and both FF and S.H.I.E.L.D. often referring to those in the higher limits, his intergalactic touch couldnt be a bad thing. Regardless, the great news for our current authors, and purchasing buyers, is that Raccoon & Groots tale is worth the $4.99. Thus, whether the slightly- improved title story appeals to you or not, Marvel has packed in plenty of length in Annihilators #2. No doubt, Im looking forward to whats on the horizon.

I sincerely hope some of the fun and manic energy of the second story leaks back into the first before this mini-series wraps. Read Full Review

Now this is a fun comic book, even if it's not perfect.Ever since I was little and used to read all of my older brothers comics, Ihave loved the cosmic side of Marvel Comics. There was so much variety and somany characters that there just had to be someone in there for everyone tolove. Because of this, I grew up a fan on series such as Infinity Gauntlet, Warlockand the Infinity Watch, and more. Unfortunately, Marvel went through anextended period where it produced little cosmic material, but they looked toremedy this with their Annihilation miniseriesfrom 2006. Ever since Annihilation,there has been some sort of Cosmic Marvel book on the stands, usually helmed byDan Abnett and Andy Lanning. As much as Ive enjoyed these series, none of themquite captured the same magic the cosmic stories of old that I loved. Luckilyfor me, Annihilators seems to beremedying that. Annihilators #2 kicks off where the lastissue left off, with the mega-powerful team of the Annihilato Read Full Review

"Annihilators" continues to be a great value with two full-length stories for $4.99, and the second issue is an improvement over the first. Still, the Rocket Raccoon and Groot feature holds the comic back as it flails about for direction and finds none. The Annihilators' story definitely picks up and, hopefully, the direction that both stories get in this issue will mean that next issue will be another improvement. Read Full Review
