Frazer Irving's Grant Morrison's Annihilator

Published Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:12:50 -0500

Frazer Irving first drew Grant Morrison's comics for Seven Soldiers with Klarion, Since then, he's been seen on Batman Inc and the like. And now he's drawn the cover for Annihilator for Legendary.

Announced last year, no publication date has been announced. But here's the bumf.

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.
