Back-to-back Annihilation wars have weakened the boundaries of our universe. In the face of terror, who stands to defend a desperate universe? Star-Lord and his squad of butt-kickers -- the modern day Guardians of the Galaxy!
Hard to believe that the cinematic guardians were based on the ideas that transpired in this book 9 years ago. I really enjoyed the characters, but I'm totally turned off by long-winded battle banter. I hate when heroes chatter away, maintaining conversations while in the middle of a fight. When they drop a minute long soliloquy while dropping a second long roundhouse punch, the timing seems off... Oh well, whatever. Still fun characters.
I enjoyed the 2014 movie based on the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy comic book reboot so much that after watching it I had intended on going and getting my hands the comics. And I did! It just took me two years. So #1. This comic has the same humour I enjoyed from the movie. The story was entertaining and fast paced. I will definitely be continuing with the series.
