Moondragon by Andrea Divito [ Annihilation ]

It’s the new Quasar, Phyla-Vell!

Annihilation: Conquest by Aleksi Briclot

Book Update:

Rictor and Shaterstar is done and semi-edited

Iceman section done: barely edited 

Billy/Teddy section: Mostly written, mostly trying not to gouge my eyes out (I’m on the Kieron Gillen section and it’s kicking my butt). 

Who to work on next?

Phyla Vell and Moondragon?

Sounds good to me. Got a reading list handy?

@judgeanon ! I NEED YOUR HELP!

There’s two places to start with Phyla-Vell.

One is at the very beginning: Peter David’s Captain Marvel Volume 4. That’s the Genis-Vell Captain. Phyla shows up in issue 16-17 and you get all her backstory and initial personality. It’s great stuff and David’s a fantastic writer, but jumping right in can be a bit confusing without having read the rest of the volume. This is also the volume where she first meets Moondragon, although they only become an item at the very end.

The other good starting points are either Annihilation by Keith Giffen or Annihilation Conquest by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. They’re the first two major crossover events of modern Cosmic Marvel and they jump-started the whole line. Phyla only has a secondary role in Annihilation, but she’s a major player in Conquest. Either one is a good place to start, but I’d strongly suggest reading Annihilation first to get the full story. Conquest is the one with the most Phyla/Moondragon scenes though.

From there Phyla moves to Abnett and Lanning’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and stays there for the rest of the run.

Annihilation: Conquest by Aleski Briclot.  

Remember when Marvel had an event where a lesbian was kinda the main character of it?

…of course you don’t.

I remember it being metal as fuck.

I’m rly fond of Moondragon and Phyla-Vell/Quasar

Remember that, like, half issue of Conquest where Phyla was unbearably overconfident?

Good times...

Something I’ve always appreciated about this era of Marvel Cosmic is that, every now and then, it was metal as fuck.
