    hope you do more of Annihilus, he's a very underrated FF villain
  • Now this is going to be outstanding and I'm definitely going to learn something I didn't know. Everyone that voted for this video deserves a big pat on the back lol
  • @mueezadam8438
    Love these silver era comic origins. It was a weird time where creators like Jack Kirby would add eclectic themes ranging from gnostic to hyborian to their work. That’s why G.O.D.S and Immortal Thor are my favourite series right now.
  • @Hulkzilla0
    This was really fun! I would love to see more of Annihilus and the Negative Zone.
  • @MisterDTwenty
    A fantastic villain I was always really fascinated with, so alien and dangerous he really stood out to me
  • @Insane-Howl-Cowl
    There is much more to Annihilus backstory and the Negative Zone than I realized. Thank you
  • @sylph4252
    Only in comics can the ruler of an entire dimension build a device, lose it and not even consider just building an other
  • This was soooooo much more than just the history of Annihilus. The Negative Zone is such an interesting and important part of the Marvel Universe. My second favorite realm right behind the Savag Land. (Maybe a video on the Savage Land is on the horizon?) My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
  • @mikez54
    This is cool. I like hearing the Negative zone history
  • @jakkahz
    Loved it. My favorite bad guy
  • @briang9581
    I agree with Johnny. Mantracora looks like a place worthy of thorough... investigation.
