Annihilation: Conquest is very good. Already within the latest two issues of Wraith and Nova, I see possible seeds for curing Phalanx possession. Which means that whoever is behind the Phalanx has to be something uber, all things considered.
As for Warlock, I am actually trying to figure out if he is still babysiting that cosmic thing that Starlin had him watching or if the cameo he had in She-Hulk counts any. In anycase, Warlock always has the excuse of hibernating that cacoon of his.
