I would find it interesting to see this all come full circle with a new Annihilation wave starting at Earth instead of ending near there. While it would feel off not having Nova or Star-Lord there (as far as we know), I think it could be a good story. I wouldn't mind it at all.
It could work considering that the recent relaunch of FF has been a success in terms of sales, so they might seek to try to capitalize to boost sales on the cosmic books. Those sell poor enough that Marvel may not give Abnett & Lanning another ongoing with them, but they sell consistently enough that they allow the two to continue their saga in mini-series forms; at least until a mini sells well enough that warrants another ongoing. Thus, INCREDIBLE HERCULES ended, which was followed up in the mini's HERCULES: FALL OF AN AVENGER and PRINCE OF POWER before CHAOS WAR did well enough that HERC was relaunched.
Plus, since the FF, whether as the Fantastic Four or Future Foundation, always deal with cosmic threats, it would make sense to link things sometimes. Especially since Annihilus has been reborn and was involved in the seeming, bodiless death of Johnny Storm.
I could argue the Hood gathering several of the Infinity Gems should have sparked notice, but the fewer DnA characters Bendis writes (poorly), the better.
