I'm interested in reading the Marvel Annihilation stories/arcs. What I don't know is what order to read them in. From what I can tell, there is the main Annihilation series and companion issues like Annihilation: Nova, Annihilation: Starlord, Annihilation: Wraith, etc. (I've seen a handful of different character titles.)

In addition, I've seen an Annihilation: Conquest title as well. I assume all these titles involve characters in the Guardians of the Galaxy team. Is that correct?

Furthermore, I'm interested in reading the standalone Nova series but would like to know how the aforementioned titles sort into that.

Annihilation: Prologue

A 48-page one-shot issue, Annihilation: Prologue, was released on March 15, 2006.

It was followed by four concurrent 4-issue mini-series:

  • Silver Surfer (April 1, 2006),
  • Super-Skrull (April 12, 2006),
  • Nova (April 19, 2006), and
  • Ronan the Accuser (April 26, 2006).

Annihilation was published as a six issue mini series beginning in August 2006.

It was followed by two issues of Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus and a new volume of Nova.

While not published with the Annihilation banner,

  • Drax the Destroyer: Earth Fall #1-4 (Sept 2005) and
  • Thanos #7-12 (2004) were preludes to the event.
