Is this any good?
Yes.
Worse than Annihilation, better than War of Kings. Wraith and Quasar despite their heavy focus are ultimately rather pointless characters that were quickly abandoned. Nova is barely a tie-in and only shows up at the end of the main series. And ultimately the whole thing just feels so small in scope compared to Annihilation. That's probably unfair cause it's intentional but eh, what can you do.
The real highlight though is Star-Lord. This is the story that turns him from a sarcastic grumpy loner to the sarcastic quippy leader he is today. And his team which is comprised of "literally who"s even by cosmic standards is a blast.

No.

No, it's quite awful, especially compared to Annihilation.

Not as good as Anihilation (which set the bar high) and the Wraith tie in is terrible and the character is never used again. But it's a good read that leads into two phenomenal runs Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova

I like for the feeling that it reunites characters from the whole Marvel cosmic, just as much as Annihilation did before. Characters that were never seen together before.

Better than Annihilation aside from Wraith, one of the worst characters ever created.
Pretty good. It manages to merge a bunch of different genres (sword and sorcery, war story, horror, etc.) with varying but usually good levels of success. Does a better job of tying its miniseries to the main mini than Annihilation. However, it can feel a bit less focused, since the cast is a lot bigger. Also, it's missing some of Annihilation's scope. And Wraith is indeed pretty crap, especially if you're coming right out of Annihilation.
