Geekscape Comics: Grant Morrison’s ‘Annihilator’ Cover Art Revealed!

Legendary Comics today revealed Frazer Irving’s first cover for Grant Morrison’s Annihilator.

The anticipated book is still without a release date (which should be forthcoming), but based on the awesome concept, let alone the team behind it, I’m already beyond sold on Annihilator.

Take a look at the first issue’s cover below (as well as the book’s synopsis), and let us know if you’re looking forward to it!

Hellraising screenwriter Ray Spass has one last chance to restore himself to former glory as he struggles to write a new studio tent-pole movie, Annihilator. The film centers around the adventures of Max Nomax, a sci-fi anti-hero caught in an epic struggle against the authoritarian artificial life form Vada and it’s chief assassin, Jet Makro.

But when Max Nomax appears in real-life, Ray thinks it’s a side effect of the brain tumor he was recently diagnosed with. Despite all logic, Nomax is real, having escaped from an impossible prison with no memory. Ray’s tumor is the key—it contains all Nomax’s adventures, downloaded into Ray’s head before Nomax escaped.

Ray needs to finish his screenplay in order to get the information out of his head and shrink the tumor. Nomax needs Ray to finish his screenplay so he can remember who he is, what ultimate crime he has committed, how to defeat Vada and save the universe from annihilation – if the unstoppable Jet Makro doesn’t reach Nomax and Ray first.
