"As the Annihilation Wave continues its destructive march across the galaxy, Nova leads a determined resistance-- backed by the might of champions such as Drax, Ronan and Gamora. However, Annihilus has a new weapon in his arsenal: Galactus, devourer of worlds! Against such might, the resistance seems futile. For the handful who continue to oppose Annihilus, there remains one hope: the mad Titan know as Thanos! Unfortunately, his ancient foe Drax may have plans of his own. As the war spirals to its conclusion, civilizations fall, sacifices are made, and new heroes rise!"--Dust jacket.
