The Key to Conquest: Quasar #4

I have a few old issues of Quasar, but I must admit I'm none too familiar with the character. The Marvel Universe has a rich and colorful roster of planets, alien races, and extraplanar characters, even though they often come under fire for their focus on mutants, but I have to admit, I'm just not that interested in those concepts - that's the main reason I didn't get into DC comics more when I was a kid. As I get older, I'm starting to enjoy them more, but I have not seen the new Quasar. This is an official Marvel press release:

The quest for the Kree savior ends in Annihilation: Conquest – Quasar #4 as Pyhla-Vell, the daughter of Captain Marvel, and the former Avenger Moondragon take on the Phalanx and the Super Adaptoid! Writer Christos Gage (House of M: Avengers, WWH: X-Men) and penciler Mike Lilly (Nightwing) have stacked the odds against our heroes, leaving Phyla’s quantum bands drained, and facing an ever-adaptable villain backed with a full Phalanx army and armed with all the powers of the mightiest Avengers!

But who or what has sent Quasar and Moondragon on their quest? Who is the Kree savior? And what will become of the Kree if the Super Adaptoid beats them to their quarry?
The answers lie in Annihilation: Conquest –– Quasar #4 (of 4), the amazing issue that leads directly into Annihilation: Conquest #1!

“The art by Lilly is a great fit for this mini-series, and he truly does a great Super-Adaptoid. The entire artistic team on this book is well-suited to the subject matter, and bring a grace and fluidity to this adventure story,” says Adam Chapman of ComiXtreme.com. “I can't wait till next issue to see just who the Savior of the Kree is, once and for all.”
