How Marvel's Annihilation Event Kickstarted Modern Comic Crossovers
In August 2006, Marvel Comics launched Annihilation, a six-issue limited series written by Keith Giffen with art by Andrea Di Vito and Laura Villari, that would change the scope and concept of «Marvel events» forever. When the tyrant of the Negative Zone, Annihilus, launches a massive invasion of the Positive Universe, millions of people are slaughtered across the galaxy, and it's up to a group of relatively obscure heroes to stop him.
