I have never been into the "space" books or science fiction reading and I read A LOT of books. For some reason, The Annihilation books just reached out to me at the comic book store so I went ahead and tried Annihilation 1. I was hooked from page 1. War of Kings is a great TPB and I would suggest it to anyone. I know we all have our own tastes but if these books could sway me into the "space"/ science fiction genre then I believe it can sway others. One this I would suggest t...more
Abnett and Lanning have done it again, telling a compelling story with Marvel's cosmic characters that rewards long-time fans while going in new directions. Like their previous work, this story isn't meant for brand-new readers, but anyone can enjoy the action and intrigue even without the sense of history. War of Kings follows from the Annihilation stories, Vulcan's rise to power, and Secret Invasion: Inhumans, and the more familiar a reader is with those tales, the richer this reading experien...more
What I cam away from War of Kings is how not to build a conflict between two families. I mean don't get me wrong, the book is well done, great story, great action, most of the characters are handled well. But as a writer I find that if I want to deal with war, to deal with royal families, and most importantly politics, I would read the A Song of Fire and Ice because that book handles the subject matter like how I would want to handle the subject matter. With War of Kings, at times it focuses too...more
Abnett & Lanning... these guys always put out a quality product, and their latest cosmic super-adventure is right up there. With Paul Pelletier's clean and dynamic art, they paint a fast paced, high octane story of galactic war, letting the long languishing Inhumans take center stage in the classic galactic struggles between Kree, Skrull and Shi'ar.
This is a book steeped in Marvel tradition and continuity, and probably not all that interesting to non-comic geeks, but the pair of Dan an...more

Reprints Secret Invasion: War of Kings #1, War of Kings #1-6, War of Kings: Who Will Rule? #1, and Marvel Spotlight: War of Kings. The Inhumans leave the moon after the events of the Secret Invasion and start a war between the Kree and Shi'ar. Abnett and Lanning's space stuff is very strong in a currently weak comic market. The depth of the stories and characterizations are better than most of the other stuff out right now and nicely matched with the art of the series.
Pretty great stuff for the first 3/4ths of this thick action packed sci-fi book! Then it seemed to peter out at the end. Most of the art was awesome, though that petered out a little bit too towards the end, in my humble opinion.
The was no real resolution, though the stories were all so nicely interwoven (at first.)

Very well done interplanetary culture/power clash as seen through the eyes of characters (Crystal and Gladiator) who go through monumental development. Really enjoyed this one!
The War of Kings mini portion was good but feels lacking in comparison to the last two cosmic events. The second half of the book which was all tie in issues was a big snooze.
