He's killing the Ultimate Verse right now too. What a bro.
It was pretty awesome. Surfer discovers the body, picking up on the cosmic energy, alerts Galactus. Galactus demands that Reed Richards explains things before he decides to devour the earth for containing the future corpse of Bray Wyatt the eater of worlds. Reed tags along and goes down to Nu-Earth to try and help people evacuate.

What series is that in?
... because if so, I'm going to set out a plate and some silverware for Galactus.

That's the cancerverse.

People keep talking about Rhomann Dey. I don't see a Nova Centurion in the trailer.

The lights on the chest of the guy behind Reilly (which you can also see the tops of on Reilly's uniform) look like a version of the Nova Corps chest symbol to me.
It already wins because it does not have a bacon suit and a CGI mask.
It looks like they might be more like powerless space-cops, rather than the Green Lantern rip-offs they can be sometimes.
The cosmic Marvel stuff was, as a whole, pretty spectacular, actually. It's like this epic, grand scale space opera with a lot of really cool secondary characters (like Nova and Darkhawk) given front, centre stage. Even better? It's incredibly self-contained, away from all the crap Marvel was doing at the time, like Civil War. It's even joked in an issue of Nova where he goes back to Earth and Iron Man says they thought it was some little squabble or something.
If you don't mind reading it all (or most of it), it's a pretty fun ride. My suggestion? Marvel collected the first two cosmic stories quite well:
There's Annihilation Vol. 1-3, followed by Annihilation: Conquest Vol. 1-2. The latter is where the GotG form for the first time, but of course, being a comic book team, membership changes. Their own book spins out of this event, but Frank's right. You could probably safely jump into the main title.
Personally, I think it'd be more enjoyable to start with Annihilation since other characters from it and Conquest show up. And they're just awesome, cosmic comics. That's coming from someone who's not usually a big fan of cosmic stuff.
Like Nick says, when Marvel was releasing bullshit like Civil War, they were secretly also releasing gold like Annihilation.
Unfortunately, all those God damn trades are a fucking mint now.
Yeah, Annihilation is crazy expensive too.
17 bucks listed price for the first trade, out of stock. Sellers selling it from 160 bucks and up. Seriously, pirating it may be your only option that isn't ridiculous bank breaking.
I don't use the comixology stuff so I don't know if it's on there for cheaper by the issue.

My only beef with the Cosmic stuff overall was the event after Conquest. The War of Kings was dull, not to mention harder to follow than their simple Volume 1, 2, 3 format before. Its big bad was also incredibly uninteresting, spinning out of X-Men crap that I had no interest in.
Of course, the fallout made it all worth it. The Thanos Imperative was the perfect conclusion to everything. But yeah, the War of Kings was definitely my least favourite part of the overall cosmic stuff.

Hell yes. This. This a million times.
I don't see any tree or squirrel characters in that group. Therefore, they are vastly inferior.
they had lots of teeth whitener

Holy shiza. I have a couple of those.
Also the last one/ending is not so great imho. Now, the one where Nova gets hit by the Phalanx, that one is pretty sweet.
