Cosmos has been entrusted to continue to guard the universe from Annihilation-type threats complying with the final wishes of Starlord. Cosmos does this by convincing the cosmically endowed heroes to form the Annihilators.
This issue sets the origins of the Annihilators and the recruiting efforts of Cosmos by displaying their might against Blastaar’s conquest of Attila and the overthrow of the Inhuman dynasty led by Medusa. The Annihilators are the Silver Surfer, Gladiator, Quasar, Ronan the Accuser, and Beta Ray Bill.
It will be interesting to see how this new team will overcome the many conflicts that should arise from the team dynamics that their individual characters and origins should engender.
The writing team has yet to disappoint but I see a tall order here in trying to form a team with this set of characters. It seems to me that the threats are going to have to be of such magnitude that forces them into cohesion and overcoming the diverse nature of their powers and characters.
