This July, writer Steve Orlando is returning to Marvel’s 2099 universe with a brand new ANNIHILATION 2099 miniseries. Teaming up with a lineup of talented artists, Orlando’s new series promises to reveal the cosmic side of the fan-favourite 2099 universe. Which means get ready to meet Nova 2099, Starlord 2099, Red Hulk 2099, and Silver Surfer 2099, and witness the return of Dracula 2099!
“2099 is back and it’s going cosmic!” Orlando said. “ANNIHILATION 2099 has been the best kind of challenge — bringing even more cosmic into Marvel’s iconic cyberpunk line, and keeping it all fresh, provocative, and surprising!”
“The heroes introduced in ANNIHILATION 2099 are each heroes I could write forever–each with their own tragic beginnings in the Mighty Marvel Tradition,” he continued. “And behind it all? An iconic horror antihero who is taking his vengeance to the stars. Red Hulk 2099! Silver Surfer 2099! Nova 2099! Marvel’s future goes intergalactic this summer, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
The five-part miniseries, featuring artwork from Nick Bradshaw, Ibraim Roberson, José Luis, Pete Woods, Ario Anindito, and Dale Eaglesham, kicks off this July, and you can feast your eyes on some of the solicitation info and cover artwork below:
