ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 Lands This Week!
Anytime Marvel releases a new feature film or TV show, chances are a soft-reboot and/or re-numbering of the property will show up on comic book shelves. So it comes as no surprise that the Guardians of the Galaxy are getting the full treatment this week just in time for the theatrical release of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Vol. 2 on Friday May 5th. The new book is called ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GLAXY from writer Gerry Duggan and artist Aaron Kuder.
A NEW ERA OF COSMIC ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE! Double ships every month! The Guardians of the Galaxy have taken off into space once more, on their biggest and weirdest misadventures yet! Kicking things off with the biggest heist they’ve ever tried, we join Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and company as they blast their way through the galaxy, the peacekeepers of the Nova Corps hot on their tails. And once they find themselves caught in a war between The Collector and The Grandmaster, there will hardly be time to explain why Groot can’t grow any bigger, what Gamora is searching for or why Drax has sworn off violence! But don’t worry, we will - with a new twice-monthly schedule, All-New Guardians of the Galaxy has space for ALL your Marvel Cosmic needs!
Ok, so having a book mirror what fans see on the big screen can be kind of annoying, buuuuuuut in this case, I kind of like the original crew getting back together as they head out on a new series of adventures. So yeah, probably not a lot of Kitty Pryde, Venom, or The Thing this go-around. I’m OK with that. And from what I’ve seen so far via preview pages, ALL-NEW GUARDIANS looks pretty slick. As far as GUARDIANS comics go, this is sure to be a very friendly jumping-on point for new readers. Awesome.
