3,5 stars.

Guy still wants to battle ‘scum’. He fails against Black Hand’s goons when they realise he no longer wears his ring…

He goes to the New Guardians, trying to create a new team, with him as leader.
They are not interested in his anger, or come-ons.

Eventually, Guy gets the idea that he can accomplish what he wants with guns…
And calls himself the Gardner!

His first target was Goldface, who embarrassed him.
It doesn't go well when his guns get too hot and jam.

Another idea comes to Guy, a way he can get a different Yellow ring…

And G’Nort comes to his rescue!

Leaving the dog-like GL on Earth, Guy considers that maybe he needs some muscle and decides to recruit… Lobo!

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read this mini-series. But the art has been decent and I’m kind of skimming the longer speech bubbles so it makes things go by faster.

Also, I thought it was funny that Guy used guns and yet I don’t think a single one of his bullets hit anyone.
