The Kree-Skrull Stalemate is arguably the most influential organized conflict in the history of life.

It remains, to this day, unparalleled in scale, length, and ubiquity.

The behemoth empires trample carelessly across entire galaxies in epoch-spanning wars and false ceasefires.

So engrossed by the sheer scale of their war, they fail to recognize how it feeds into and is fed by their constant balkanization and cultural stagnation. Historians, analysts, and philosophers alike all consider this to be as important to maintaining this oddly balanced and prolonged battle for extinction.

The Shi'ar rose to power in a bloody coup. A Skrull victory in an intrasystemic war left their masters severed from the Supreme Intelligence and supply chain. Within generations, the feathered natives of the planet rebelled against the diminished Kree colonists; outnumbering the aliens a hundred to one.

The culture born from this victory spawned strong xenophobic and paranoiac tendencies among the Shi'ar that remain active to this day.

The Brood infested vulnerable sun-starved Skrullworlds. Cut off from their source of energy and woefully unprepared for the mysterious new lifeforms that descended upon their cities and towns like nightmarish plagues, the Skrulls were little more than fuel or nesting within one rotation of the planet.

The Brood would soon turn their ravenous hunger to other planets, tasting victory and defeat in equal measure.

Far-flung Xandar enjoyed the peace and security afforded to them by fate.

While other systems served as battleground, collateral damage, conscripts, or some combination of the three, Xandar went through the expansions and contractions of civilizational development.

Tinkering briefly on the edge of collapse, Xandar finally burst out through incomprehensible distances to her neighbors by way of 'Nova Gates'.

These trans-dimensional relays brought interstellar travel from the realm of theory to practice. No longer sputtering along with crude sub-light explosions or convoluted exploitation of the strong-weak forces, Xandar and her neighbors ushered in a new Golden Age.

Within centuries, Xandar had become the galaxy's most frequented, advanced, and diverse system. Her Nova Corps oversaw the safe transit of trillions of ships a year, maintained Nova Gates, and even supported the development of weapons capable of deterring Skrull or Kree interference in their affairs. Ages passed as Xandar stockpiled and grew and loved, thankful to be spared the attentions of the eternally warring Kree and Skrulls.

When the Xandarian World Mind went live, the Kree finally turned an accusing eye on the pristine paradise.

2006's Annihilation: Prologue Vol.1 #1 (turning 20 today ; feel old yet ?) cover by cover artist Gabriele Dell'otto (black & white sketch courtesy of @ungoliantschilde).

Release Date : March 15, 2006

Andy Schmidt (Annihilation's editor) : "The first artist I talked to was Gabriele Dell’Otto. The first thing that he did was that Prologue cover, which I said, “I need this to be the movie poster. I need this to be the Star Wars of the Marvel Universe.” Once people started to see that, it clicked. “So that’s what this is.” They’re darker, they’re painted, they’re epic looking. So when he did that, a lot of hesitation went away."

So this idea has been... fermenting in my head since Imperial started

I haven't really done multiple character pieces so far so it felt good to push myself
