Spinning out of
SORCERERS OF THE STARS, prepare for a
huge line-wide event starting
Next Month from the mind of H-E-D! Prepare yourselves for....
Annihilus still has his mind set on "reclaiming" the Positive-Matter Universe for the Negative Zone, but this time he's using a different tactic! He's acquired a mysterious source of Anti-Magic (the Negative Zone's counterpart to our Positive-Matter Universe’s Arcane and Dark Magic), infusing it into his Cosmic Control Rod! Using this in conjunction with the N-Zone's counterpart to the Power Cosmic – the Force Opposite – he unleashes the Negation Wave!
This is the threat that Adam Warlock foresaw, that led him to orchestrate intergalactic crises to spur preparation in SORCERORS OF THE STARS. It wasn't enough.
From the Crunch – the border between the Negative Zone and our Universe – a wave of Anti-Magic begins to spread across the Universe, converting it to Anti-Matter and assimilating it into the Negative Zone! But that isn't all. The border between the two universes isn't so clear-cut as previously believed. Pockets of Anti-Magic corruption begin to spread at random all throughout the universe – including on Earth itself! In these pockets, Annihilus' forces run rampant. The kicker? The potent combination of Anti-Magic and Force Opposite
negates superhuman abilities!
In addition to his usual insectoid Annihilation Wave troops, we have the return of
Ravenous as a member of the
Lawbringers, a mysterious race powerful with Anti-Magic capabilities and names like Qztr, Lkqr, Qryn, Bcrm, Blyq, Xxtr. But they also assume other names, like... Miranda Cross. They usually work alone.
Your Tie-In Hook: Annihilus's goons are in town, and your characters powers aren't working! The
exception is, of course,
technology, and
magic.
Rules
The story will be told in a
Four-Issue Event Miniseries called
NEGATION plotted by H-E-D. This will be where the primary story unfolds. During that time, all other plotters are invited to tie-in with their own books. This can be accomplished in the following ways:
(1)
Directly. Your book’s monthly solicitation can tie-in to the events of Negation. The solicitation would look like “BOOK X #18 *Negation Tie-In*.” All plotters who do this will get one extra reward point for their book.
(2)
Stand Alone Tie-Ins. If you don’t want to interrupt the flow of your normal series, you can do a tie-in mini-series (or one shot) of your own. It would be a separate, and second, solicitation submitted using characters you already control and would look like “NEGATION: CHARACTER/TEAM X #1.” Normal miniseries rules will apply, with the book able to independently earn reward points through the normal ways. Those points will go to the normal title when the miniseries ends (or, if it's a one-shot, the next month).
(3) You can do
both those things.
Of course, you don’t have to participate at all if you don’t want to. But, c’mon, it’ll be fun!
You probably know how real Marvel tie-ins work, and I encourage creativity, but remember that the main story will unfold in the
Negation book itself. So don’t kill Annihilus or resolve any plot points from that book in your tie-in but instead focus on what your characters are doing in the midst of this event. Coordination is encouraged!
