We kicked off this primer on Monday with a basic introduction post that answered basic questions about what the War of Kings event is about, who's involved and what we had planned for the rest of the week. This post marks the first official entry into the primer with basic summaries and character profiles for everything related to Nova, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the basic cosmic universe on the whole.However, please note that as so much has occurred in the cosmic universe at Marvel, we've tried our best to restrict the information contained here to basic summaries of events with a focus on those things most pertinent to War of Kings.

Annihilation
While much of what is happening in War of Kings does not require you to read Annihilation, it is highly recommended you read it in order to have a basic understanding for the current state of the cosmic universe at Marvel. Many of the characters that rose to prominence in that critically acclaimed series will be appearing in supporting roles throughout War of Kings and Annihilation paved the way for the current ongoings for these characters in the forms of Nova and Guardians the Galaxy.
Annihilation: Conquest
Coming out of Annihilation, Nova was given his own ongoing series, which quickly started building towards the next major even, Annihilation: Conquest. The events of Conquest play directly into War of Kings. This is primarily due to the fact Ultron and the Phalanx initiated Conquest by conquering the Kree homeworld, Hala, and then, through the use of the Babel Spire, set up an impenetrable forcefield around all of Kree space so that no one could escape. This Babel Spire was left in tact at the end of the event and was last seen being destroyed by a Shi'ar infiltrator in War of Kings #1, which allowed the Shi'ar Imperial Guard to initiate their attack on Hala in that same issue.
Secret Invasion
Combined with the events of Annihilation, which saw multiple Skrull planets decimated, the Skrulls were left with little choice but to invade Earth in search of a new home, which was detailed in the summer event, Secret Invasion. The one thing to take from this is that they failed to conquer Earth and the Skrulls pose no threat to anyone at this point, especially after the Inhumans hunted down the last of their armada and destroyed them in the Secret Invasion: War of Kings special.
King Blastaar
However, the most significant cosmic event to take place in this time period actually took place in another universe - the Negative Zone, to be precise. While on a mission to aid the Kree, Starlord was banished to the Negative Zone, where he met up with the current ruler, King Blastaar. Blastaar had been building an army in the Negative Zone and intended to invade Earth through the use of Prison 42, the prison created to hold unregistered supers in Civil War, which had the only available portal to Earth.
While Starlord eventually escaped, Blastaar remained in control of 42 and was last seen attempting to gain access to the portal to Earth, which can only be opened from the Baxter Building side of the portal. While Blastaar is slated to show up in War of Kings, it is unknown what his role will be.
Return of the Nova Corps
While Nova's ongoing has seen many an excellent story over the past couple of years, the only thing you need to know going into War of Kings is that he isn't Nova anymore. Worldmind, the super computer repository of all Xandarian knowledge and head of the Nova Corps, has gone behind Richard Rider's back and re-established the Nova Corps in the form of mass recruitment of thousands of Earthlings for the new corps.
Furthermore, Worldmind has removed himself from Richard's mind, where he had been kept safe since the events of Annihilation, and taken up residence in the consiciousness of Ego, the Living Planet. To cap it off, when Nova refused to return the bulk of the Nova Force, Worldmind forcibly cut Richard off from the Nova Force and kicked him out of the Nova Corps.
Going into War of Kings, the new Nova Corps has been described as sacrificial lambs for the event and, seeing as Worldmind has deployed the corps to Kree space, it looks as if the rookie corps will be having difficulties quelling the war between the Kree and the Shi'ar.
As for Richard Rider, he should, based on future covers, make an appearance in War of Kings as the new Quasar. More than likely, he will be merging with the energy form of the recently returned original Quasar, Wendell Vaughn.
Darkhawk & Talon
Darkhawk is a former New Warrior and friend of Nova. During War of Kings: Darkhawk, his origin was expanded upon and it was revealed that the amulet that grants him his powers is cosmic in origin. In that same series, he was confronted by an alien user of the Darkhawk amulet named Talon.
Currently, the duo are set to continue their adventure in War of Kings: Ascension, which, according to solicits, takes place in the Negative Zone against "Annihilus' forces". Whether this is actually meant to be Blastaar's army or if Annihilus will return or if Talon and Darkhawk will end up teaming with Blastaar to fight back against Annihilus' forces remains to be seen.
Character Profiles
The Nova Corps
Originally, the Nova Corps acted as the militia and peace corps for the planet Xandar. Over time, the corps expanded its sphere of influence and came to be a form of galactic peacekeepers.
During Annihilation, Annihilus' Annihilation Wave wiped out the Nova Corps and its homeworld, Xandar. The only survivor was Earth's Nova, Richard Rider, who managed to download the Worldmind into himself, along with the entirety of the Nova Force.
Nova (Richard Rider)
Richard Rider is Earth's Nova Corps member. As the sole surviving member of the Nova Corps after the Annihilation Wave destroyed Xandar and the entirety of the corps, Richard was charged with housing the Xandarian Worldmind and safekeeping it until he could find a new home for it to reside.
To help him with this deed, the Worldmind granted Richard the status of Nova Prime and, with it, the entirety of the Nova Force. This increased Richard's powers exponentially, effectively making him one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
However, in recent issues of Nova, the Worldmind revealed he had been creating a new Nova Corps without Richard's knowledge or consent and even went so far as to relocate himself into Ego, the Living Planet. When Richard refused to relinquish the bulk of the Nova Force, the Worldmind forcbly removed it from him and expelled him from the Nova Corps.
It was later revealed that Richard's body was mutated to help him use the Nova Force and that without it, he would die in 48 hours. The original Quasar, Wendell Vaughn, who had returned as an energy-based being, granted Richard the use of his Quantum Bands to help him track down the Worldmind, who left with his new Nova Corps for Kree space to stop the war betweent he Shi'ar and the Kree, and hopefully regain access to the Nova Force.
Xandarian Worldmind
Xandarian Worldmind, a sentient super computer that houses the entirety of the Xandarian peoples' culture and was both the political and spiritual advisor for the Xandarians. Worldmind also generated and regulated the distribution of the Nova Force to various Nova Corps members, which granted powers ranging from basic flight and limited super strength in recruits to vast and near limitless powers for the corps leader, known as the Nova Prime.
Recently, the Worldmind had been kept in Richard Rider's mind and helped coordinate his use of the Nova Force. Worldmind eventually shut down for repairs when it was damaged while trying to prevent the spread of the Phalanx techno-organic virus that had infected Richard during Annihilation: Conquest.
When the Worldmind finally returned during the recent Secret Invasion event, he was markedly different and more hostile towards Richard. It is speculated there could be outside influences causing this or the sentient computer could just be acting in its own best interests after Richard nearly wiped out centuries of Xandarian knowledge by neglecting his duty to find the Worldmind a safe home.
As such, the Worldmind struck a deal with Ego the Living Planet and relocated itself to be housed there and has renamed Ego as Nu-Xandar. Continuing with this, Worldmind went on a mass recruiting drive on Earth and has rebuilt the Nova Corps in a matter of days. However, it has been revealed that the Worldmind is manipulating its newest recruits by pumping them full of endorphins and other manipulative techniques to foster a much more obediant group of Novas than the rebellious Richard Rider.
Worldmind was last seen taking his new corps to Kree space in an attempt to put a stop to the war between the Kree and Shi'ar.
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Guardians of the Galaxy is a recently formed team of would-be heroes that joined together during Annihilation: Conquest. Led by the human, Peter Quill, also known as Starlord, the team is made up of cosmic powerhouses, such as Adam Warlock, Gamora, Phyla-Vel and Drax, as well as lesser known cosmic characters, such as Rocket Raccoon, Mantis, Bug and the time displaced Vance Astro.
The Guardians make their home on the space station Knowhere, which is located at the edge of the universe and is basically the head of a decapitated Celestial. They make use of advanced teleportation technology to make their way around the universe.
In regards to War of Kings, the team will be attempting to convince both sides in the war to put an end to the conflict before it tears the universe apart. There is also the recent issues of the series where Starlord had confronted King Blastaar in the Negative Zone. It is unknown if the team will confront him again in War of Kings, but Blastaar is scheduled to make an appearance, most likely in the War of Kings: Ascension miniseries.
Darkhawk
Darkhawk is an Earthling named Chris Powell. He is a friend of Nova, Richard Rider, and a former New Warrior. Originally, his powers stemmed from an alien gem that granted him the use of a powerful battlesuit. With the conclusion of his recent miniseries, War of Kings: Darkhawk, it was revealed that the amulet was not unique and actually was created for use by the Fraternity of Raptors. The Fraternity was described as, "the curators of history, and the custodians of the future", of which Darkhawk was one of only two surviving members. Darkhawk's story is set to continue in War of Kings: Ascension, where he and the other Darkhawk, known as Talon, will appear.
Talon
Talon is an alien member of the Fraternity of Raptors, a cosmic group referred to as the curators of history and custodians of the future. He uses a power armour similar to that of Darkhawk and revealed to Darkhawk that they were the only two surviving members of the Fraternity. Little else is known about Talon other than that he travelled across the universe to find Darkhawk and was pursued by a mysterious alien being, which the two destroyed together. He offers to help Darkhawk learn more about his armour and how to control it if he would join him on his quest. The two team up and head off to the Negative Zone, a story which continues in War of Kings: Ascension.
King Blastaar
Blastaar is a resident of the Negative Zone and long time enemy of the Fantastic Four that has attempted to conquer on Earth on numerous occasions. During Annihilation: Conquest, he had teamed with the Kree to battle back against Ultron and the Phalanx.
Most recently, he somehow became king of the Negative Zone and forcibly enlisted the aid of Starlord to help him seize control of Prison 42, the prison for super powered people created during Civil War, in an attempt to gain access to the portal to Earth so that he could, again, attempt to conquer it.
While Starlord escaped, Blastaar still managed to take control of 42 and its portal only to find it was locked from the Earth side, which is located in the Fantastic Four headquarters. He was last seen attempting to find alternative means of opening the portal. King Blastaar is scheduled to appear in War of Kings, but his role in the grand scheme of things is unclear. More than likely, he will appear in the Negative Zone-based War of Kings: Ascension miniseries.

What about X-Men Kingbreaker? I'd think it's a pretty important part of War of Kings, particularly since there's so much focus on Vulcan and the Shiar side.
We have a Vulcan & Shi'ar dedicated post to cover all things related to his rise to power on Friday followed by the Inhumans and Kree related topics on Sunday. You can see the full primer post schedule here.
Man, I love that image of Nova ripping out Annihilus guts, shouting "THIS IS FOR THE NOVA CORPS". Totally awesome moment.
Great post. You just made me want to go read Annihilation again.
I'm probably going to wait to see what's in the War of Kings collections before I make any purchases, but this event is likely going to lead to me picking up every major thing that leads up to this event, maybe starting even as early as Deadly Genesis. I love the new cosmic stuff.
So Talon and Darkhawk are the only two survivors of this Darkhawk fraternity? Somebody forgot about Portal, currently the head of A.R.M.O.R., whose powers are also based on those Darkhawk amulets that were created by a group of alien scientists under the thumb of an alien mob-boss.
With an origin that bad, maybe Portal would be better off feeding himself to the Marvel Zombies. (Kidding!)
@Anonymous - The WoK: Darkhawk mini purposely ignores the alien space mobster stuff. I'm sure all 23 people that read those issues are terribly upset (j/k). I left it out of the primer since it seems they're ignoring/retconning it out and would warrant a full post itself to get the idea across only to tell people it doesnt matter anymore.
Awesome article, thank you.
i definitely forgot to ask this in the first column but is Silent War, still part of the Inhuman Continuity?
@Mike I - Glad you liked it. Be sure to check back on Friday and Sunday for the rest of the primer!
@Anonymous - It's in continuity. They're just being very liberal with the placement of it. They've also ignored the follow up to it with Black Bolt in jail / Maximus ruling at the end. but the distrust between Inhumans and Earth is pushed to the breaking point because of that mini and its a major factor in their decision to step up and claim their right as rulers of the Inhumans.
In regards to Darkhawk: is it "a powerful battlesuit" that Chris wears or does Chris actually swap places with a Darkhawk android that he controls (or has that been retconned out)?
@Anonymous - When I wrote this up, the Darkhawk miniseries prior to War of Kings made it appear they were ignoring most of the past continuity with the Darkhawk suit, so I just went with the simplified battle armour description to avoid having to explain some rather out there concepts about swappign places with the armour and controlling it from null space and such.
However, teh current Ascension mini makes it look like Abnett and Lanning might actually be bringing that past continuity in and everything up until now had been just Talon messing with Chris to gain his trust. We'll have to wait and see if they bring any of the past in or if it sticks with the 'new origin' for the Darkhawk suit.
Thanks for the Darkhawk info/reply.
Love the site & this primer. I've been out of the comic scene for a while now - just couldn't find anything good to get into. Being a bit of a completeist I was always upset when a great series would falter on story, art, swapping of creative teams, etc. In keeping track of the comics world I knew that DnA & crew were kicking butt with the new Marvel Cosmic Universe and thought of checking it out but would always loose track and forget. All the hype over WoK (and your great primer) is all this recovered junkie needed to get back into the scene or at least this small, inter-stellar, corner of it.
Keep up the good work.
An excellent primer there !!
However, I have some doubts in the Reading Order:
Annihilation -> Nova #1-12 -> Annihilation: Conquest -> Nova / Guardians of the Galaxy -> Secret Invasion -> War of Kings: Darkhawk -> War of Kings
I am not clear what does the "-> Nova / Guardians of the Galaxy -> Secret Invasion ->" sequence exactly means ?
Which issues of Nova / Guardians of the Galaxy ? the only ones related to secret invasion or any other ? and what about secret invasion ? entire event ?
@Salvatore - It just meant in general, all the issues from Nova and the then just beginning Guardians of the Galaxy title. Nova #1-12 came before Conquest, so those were the only numbers that at the time really needed mentioning.
For Secret Invasion, the King Blastaar section covers all you really need to know about it. In general, it's just a matter of knowing what went on with Prison 42 and the Negative Zone, how Blastaar was leading an army in the former prison and a general understanding of what happened in that event for why the Skrulls were no longer a part of the cosmic scene (Super Skrull was a big part in Annihilation and Skrulls took a beating from Annihilus's army, so just knowing they were off getting wiped out in Secret Invasion is enough really).
