Earth's toughest competitor CM Punk continues his galaxy rumbling Drax series! Drax faces Fin! Fang! Foom! The fiend kidnapped children and put their little hands to work digging. But for what? Prepare to be shocked! And AWED! Drax is ready to punch out an escape route, barring any WEIRD mystical surprises. (FYI, we consider a dragon in hot pants to be pretty normal, so what could weird possibly even mean?)
I’m not going to lie, I totally thought Yoda was going to show up in a ship of clone troopers and save the day. So far this story is as lacking as it is familiar and I can’t decide if I like it or not. I certainly don’t hate it because I’m still going to read it, but is it good? I’m not sure yet.
I never thought that I would say that a Drax solo was going to be more enjoyable than Guardians of the Galaxy (the current incarnation, I mean). Drax is far from being my favorite one in the team, but this ongoing series has showed me the character in a different light. Cullen Bunn and CM Punk do get the character, and their story has a good balance between action and plot development. Although I think that Foom should have stayed for more issues, I do not doubt that he will be seen again. Meanwhile, I really want to see the direction that Drax is taken as the story advances.
