Annihilation: Conquest

Go To

  • It Was His Sled: The twist about Ultron being the mastermind behind the Phalanx conquest was surprising when the series was being released, but became common knowledge afterwards. He's even on the front cover of the omnibus edition.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The Phalanx infection first makes itself known by wires coming out of the eyes. To say nothing of being enslaved to Ultron's insane will. And you can still be pissed about what's been done to you, while still being brainwashed to think it's the greatest thing ever.
  • The Scrappy: Wraith, despite being one of the main heroes, is generally disliked due to his overly edgy look and personality which feel like a reject from The Dark Age of Comic Books.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Ko-Rel, Nova's replacement while Richard healing from near fatal injuries, dies after only two issues. She displayed so much personality and intiative in those issues that many fans found her end to be quite wasteful. The fact that she was the first new Nova Corpsman after the Annihilation Wave and had a sympathetic motive of protecting her son only added to the feeling.
