Conquest-2099Today’s launch of ANNIHILATION 2099 took readers beyond the scope of Earth, revealing the impact 2099 events have on the entire galaxy and beyond. ANNIHILATION 2099 #1 kicked off with a bang as the new Nova 2099 removed his iconic helmet and turned out to be none other than WOLVERINE! Over the course of ANNIHILATION 2099, Orlando and artists Ibraim Roberson, José Luís, Pete Woods, Ario Anindito and Dale Eaglesham will shape the 2099 cosmos and set the stage for the next 2099 epic launching this October—CONQUEST 2099, a new limited series by Orlando, Roberson, Luís, and more.
 
On CONQUEST 2099, Orlando said, “ANNIHILATION 2099 was a blast! But the only thing better than building out the cosmic side of Marvel’s iconic cyberpunk future with an incredible squad of collaborators is getting to bring them together with the heroes of Earth for a galaxy-shaking epic of passion, revenge, and action! CONQUEST 2099 follows Dracula into the future as a tragic antihero, an imperfect leader with a righteous cause topped only by his bloodlust. Here’s a space blockbuster that takes us from one side of the galaxy to the other as a ragtag band of heroes from Earth and beyond leap into the fray to protect all life not just from Dracula and his vampire legion…but the something worse–the conquerors of the vampire homeworld, the Death Spiders.”
 
THE IMPALER SCORNED. Dracula has conquered a world determined to quash him! Now, with an army at his back, he sets his sights on the new vampire homeworld – Domus Draconum! What he discovers will shatter his dark heart and set him on a collision course with Nova, Spider-Man, the X-Men 2099, the new Spider-Woman of 2099, and more.
 
“ANNIHILATION 2099 was our chance to introduce some incredibly unique takes on classic Marvel characters, true in many ways to the core of the originals in theme and motive,” said Editor Mark Paniccia. “With CONQUEST 2099 these new heroes must battle the unparalleled strategy and experience of the classic Marvel Dracula, a proven leader, conqueror and monarch who now has an army of alien vampires at his command! The cosmos will never be the same!”
