At the same time, with separate minis that tie into one? You have to admit it's a bit fishy.

Of course they're completely different; Seven Soldiers is better.

I admit, I've only read the first couple Annihilations, but I don't see any rsemblence to Seven Soldiers at all. Now, I loved Seven Soldiers (except for Seven Soldiers 1), and I didn't like Annihilation, so I'm not defending it, but honestly, what is the connection?
Maybe it showed up after issue 1 of the main title, if so I haven't read it yet.

Re: Comics for the week of Jan 31st!
It's not really a connection between the stories, just the format. Both series have a one shot that starts them off, then separate minis, which come together in a conclusion.

Re: Comics for the week of Jan 31st!
I didn't mean story-wise, I meant the structure of the story as a whole - a series of independent minis which tie together into a larger series. Again, I didn't read much of Annihilation to know how interwoven the minis are, but the most basic gist of the two stories is the same.
And Houde you keep saying that over and over, but I have yet to see you give an example of a story anything like Seven Soldiers.

Re: Comics for the week of Jan 31st!
Wasn't Onslaught just in one book, then branched into several before being resolved in one book?
Wasn't DC vs. MArvel one book, which branched into several, then resolved in one book?
Hrmm...Age of Apoc was kinda the same thing, but I think that stayed towards the X-men side of things.

Not true. I've stated saying it's bad. Just not an interesting story/event to read.
Re: Comics for the week of Jan 31st!
Not even close.
And Joe - I don't remember if you said already, but what didn't you like about Seven Soldiers #1?

We definitely got ripped off by DC not allowing Morrison/Williams3 the full 80 pages they wanted.
Think about it - that would have been epic. One of the greatest comics ever made.
You can't skimp on the ending to such a huge story like that.
Still, it was a great ending.

Just re-reading through this thread. I haven't read any of 52 but does it make sense to have Klarion appear at a gathering of superheroes??

He appeared in the Robin series as a superhero

Re: Comics for the week of Jan 31st!
They wanted 80 pages?! :x
Well, Morrison's kind of upset about what DC's doing to Klarion. He's reinvented him in a cool way, and then DC just shove him back into his old magic roots.
The two issues of Robin that he appeared in were pretty cool though, but I have no idea where they fit in a timeline.

I'm going to have a heart attack from the sheer sweetness of it all.
I enjoyed Klarion in Robin and thought it fit his character. It was even the same artist from his series.

Wow
I just read Seven Soldiers Number four, and I must say, Mister Miracle was my favorite, followed by Bulleteer and Shining Knight.
Bulleteer's character was so good for the fact that she never wanted to be a hero, yet was unwillingly thrown into the position, literally you might say. Her hair was the same color as the first hero's as well.
My question, who was the eighth soldier, the reader? Was it merely because we read the issue allowed the story to happen?
All the references to Cryus Gold? Were they to represent the resurrection nature of comic book stories?
