Annihilation. The actual Annihilation mini-series picks up where the Prologue left off and offers up a truly cosmic story of the sort that DnA weren't really able to replicate in what followed (despite all of the strengths of their own writing). Drax vs. Thanos! Galactus bound! It's a really, really big show and Giffen does a great job with it. There's also some strong writing in the individual issues as Giffen tells a story that has scope in both characters and time. If people say Annihilation was great, this is why [8/10]. 
 Heralds. A fair coda to the main story. "A Death of Hope" is a wonderful story about Stardust, and "Brother's Keeper" addresses a big dangling thread from Annihilation.. The others are OK [6+/10].
