Annihilation Book 3 HC -- 7/4/2007!!

[Beast]

Since I started threads about Book 1 and Book 2, I figured I'd post the notice about Book 3 turning up online at Amazon.Com in Canada. It hasn't shown up at the US site yet, but it should only be a matter of time. :)

Weird solicit. Why's Christos Gage credited as an artist?

Unless there's something he's not telling us? ;)

(For that matter, I don't think Stuart Moore is an artist either, and I don't recall him being involved in Annihilation. Unless he's on one of the Heralds books and I forgot?)

EDIT- Just noticed it's an Amazon listing. Mike McKone is probably erroneously credited as an author as well- to my knowledge, he's just an (amazing) artist, not a writer.

Yeah, that's all kinds of wrong. I'll tell the troops tomorrow.

I think that's everyone in the third volume. Plus the ANNIHILATION: NOVA CORPS FILES book.

Yeah, looks like the artists are listed as authors and vice versa.

I'd totally forgotten Christos was doing one of those Heralds stories. Also nice to see Giuseppe Camuncoli part of this (who I'm gonna guess will be doing Brian Reed's story, as the 2 just worked on a Ms. Marvel story together?)

is that price correct? 50 bucks for 8 comics? Poor Canada!

is this on the US site? im gonna check

Nope just Book 1 and 2. SRP 30 bucks
Amazon price 20 bucks. If they have some cool extras, its a definate buy for me.

I just finished reading it and really enjoyed it.I'm glad I waited to get the HC instead of buying the monthly issues.I don't think I could have waited between issues.Now I just have to wait for Conquest to finish their mini's and the arc in Nova to come out with the first HC.

I liked the afterward by Andy Schmidt, "P.S. Sorry about Quasar."

:D
