Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 Cosmic Avengers Brian Michael Bendis Steve McNiven Sara Pichelli Books

Abbnett & Lanning did a great job taking Marvel back into space in the 21st century. The Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest and Guardians of the Galaxy storylines were all well done (Nova was a decent, not great book).

Bendis now chronicles the stories of unique characters like Groot, Rocket Racoon, Drax, Gamora and the Star Lord (one thing that bothers me is this: I really like the Peter Quill character. His death (and Richard Rider's) at the end of a major storyline (Reign of Kings, I think) was well constructed and moving. Now (as all too often) he is back, without any explanation. Are we going to ignore what happened or retro-narrate his death? It's a major flaw, and the problem with both Marvel and DC stories. That said, this is a good story and I'm happy to have Peter Quill back.).

One needs to read Bendis's "Avengers Assemble" story from 2012-13 before read this. It will give the read a much better background about why Tony Stark has joined up with the Guardians.

The art is mixed (I was critical of it on my first read through, but I think I had other art in mind when I read it). Peter Quill is rebelling against his father's empire (not an original story). There is a great speech by Quill's father about the problem of Earth at a meeting of galactic leaders. The characters are the strength of this book, as this volume is clearly laying the background for the rest of the series. I have a particular fondness for the relationship between Groot and Rocket.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 Cosmic Avengers Brian Michael Bendis Steve McNiven Sara Pichelli Books Reviews

I am an addict to the Guardians tale for some reason. I cannot place it, but it seems I have followed the series through all its forms and now am entering into the Guardians of the Infinite series. Good read...well done!
History is good, but it is hard to read on , sometimes you got to zoom some texts to be able to read it, even in the cartoon mode.
Guardians of the Galaxy has long been a lame attempt by Marvel to create a space superhero team....until recently. The Abnett version of Guardians that directly preceded the current version started the team on the path from mediocrity. The current Bendis version completes that journey. Stunning art, excellent characterizations and an intriguing storyline make this a "must read" title. Expect demand to skyrocket when the movie hits theaters later this summer!

RECENT ADD-ON COMMENT For those readers who are complaining that this book is too small to read on the or with the app, are you aware that you can read each panel individually too? You can do it for one page or the entire book and it addresses the occasional problem of the writing in a word balloon being too small to read. All you do is hold your finger pressed on the panel in question until the feature activates. To then go back to normal reading, the easiest way is to go back a page or sometimes exit and return to the book, as you sometimes get stuck in the"panel mode" otherwise ( definitely needs to work on that issue). Contact for instructions if you cannot figure it out. should also consider a feature that allows readers to simply zoom in-and-out as needed via the "pinch and pull" method that most websites use to allow zooming in on pictures, words, etc.
Marvel Now is, in part, supposed to help readers new to comics with a place to start without being burdened by decades of continuity. Most of the new launches have simply jumped in assuming readers have at least a basic knowledge of the characters from the films or word of mouth; others incorporate a little of the backstory to orient. GOTG does a bit of both.

The book opens with Peter Quill’s “origin” story and reveals who his father is. Then it jumps into the present where he is already Star-Lord and leader of the Guardians. In this series, Iron Man is part of the team, on sabbatical from Earth. I actually loved this because on the Avengers he is a leader, one of the geniuses. They often look to him for a plan of action or to save the day with a brilliant idea. Here, that is not the case. His armor and tech savvy is well behind the rest of the galaxy, as Rocket loves to remind him in the most condescending way! It was refreshing to see Stark so out of his element.

This book is really a staging point to build something bigger. The story is light on content, but heavy on humor and action. Each of the Guardians gets a moment to “shine” so readers can be introduced to them. And they keep the jokes rolling. The book is an excellent starting point for new readers to comics, or to the Guardians (as I am). One problem I had was the characters’ use of made-up words. The writer wants to remind people this isn't Earth, and they have common terms we don’t use. I find that unnecessary since they’re all speaking English via “universal translator” anyway and it got annoying fast. But, this was a minor quibble. Overall, this is a solid beginning to the new series and I will continue reading. Recommended!
3.5 stars

If you're a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy movie, you may find the disparity between this and that to be a bit strange. For one, the backstory has been changed. For another, Star-Lord is actually a Star-Lord and a prince. After you get past these changes, though, you may find that you really enjoy it.

I enjoyed this one, though not as much as I could have hoped. I was a fan of the film, and my enjoyment of that outweighs my enjoyment of this. But I still plan to continue because this was very good. All the characters are as great as I remember, and the plot was certainly interesting. It does seem more like fantasy than science fiction, which is a plus in my book.

The art was one of the best parts. I absolutely loved it and thought it did such a great job with all the characters. Facial expressions were obvious and well-rendered.

Overall, though, this gets deducted from the original four stars I wanted to give it because I just don't feel the great need to talk about it. It doesn't inspire emotions and it doesn't make me a bigger fan. I will be continuing with this series at some point, but it's not a top priority.
