Footnotes:

1. Provides a detailed summary of the original Annihilation crossover.
2. The last previous appearance of a pivotal character in the storyline.
3. These three issues of Nova parallel the action of the Prologue, taking place over a very brief span and end just as the conclusion of the Prologue play out.
4. It should go without saying, but just in case: the Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy series appearing in this crossover are vastly superior to the current incarnations of those two titles.
5. Not bannered as part of the crossover, but absolutely vital to understanding its conclusion.
6. The launch of a new ongoing series, following on from this crossover, particularly the Star-Lord series.
7. The next issue of the ongoing series, and as the title suggests, a part of the next big crossover.
