New Releases by Keith Giffen

Non c’è pace nell’Universo Marvel. Ancora devastato dal passaggio dell’Onda Annihilation, il pianeta centrale dell’impero Kree viene preso d’assalto e invaso − o, per meglio dire, assimilato − da un avversario forse persino più temibile. Mentre Nova, di ritorno sulla Terra, deve fare i conti con le conseguenze della guerra civile che ha visto contrapposti gli eroi, una nuova Quasar si mette alla ricerca di un misterioso “salvatore”, e Star-Lord si ritrova alla guida del primo nucleo di quelli che di lì a poco saranno conosciuti come i Guardiani della Galassia.

L''intera realtà è in pericolo! Annihilus, lo spietato sovrano della Zona Negativa, sta per sferrare il suo attacco al nostro universo, e niente sembra in grado di arrestarne il cammino di distruzione. Tranne, forse, un manipolo di superesseri, che dovranno mettere da parte le proprie divergenze per stringere un’improbabile alleanza. Tra loro il primo Nova, il redivivo Drax e… una ragazzina terrestre? Primo dei tre appuntamenti con la saga cosmica che ha ridefinito la mappa dell’Universo Marvel, spianando la strada alla nascita dei nuovi Guardiani della Galassia!

Mentre l''Onda Annihilation continua a seminare distruzione, un gruppo di eroi guidato da Nova è pronto a dare battaglia. Ora però Annihilus ha un''arma in più nel suo arsenale: Galactus, il Divoratore di Mondi! Di fronte a un potere simile, la resistenza non ha altra scelta che chiedere aiuto a Thanos di Titano, con tutti i rischi che un''alleanza del genere può comportare. Si conclude in maniera esplosiva la saga cosmica che ha alterato per sempre gli equilibri dell''Universo Marvel, con la partecipazione tra gli altri di Star-Lord, il futuro leader dei Guardiani della Galassia.

One of the most epic DC crossover events ever! Resilient. Overpowering. Unstoppable. By their very nature, our planet’s superheroes have become a threat to the rest of the universe.

Since they were brought together a year ago, the team has endured countless threats, endless in-house bickering, death, rebirth, death again, and various states in between. But now things are really getting serious: Starro, one of the original League’s oldest enemies, has enslaved an entire planet’s population-legally. Meanwhile, it’s becoming obvious to everyone except the Justice League that their leader, Ariel Masters, is, in fact, trying to kill them, and old friends from the distant past are making their mysterious reappearances (and having some very mixed feelings about the whole thing). Not to mention there’s a new Gal Gardner in town. Collects JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 #14-15, JUSTICE LEAGUE 3001 #1-6 and DC SNEAK PEEK: JUSTICE LEAGUE 3001 #1.
