Rocked by the aftershocks of War of Kings, Star-Lord's team - now castaways across shattered timelines - are desperate to find a route home before all possible futures fuse into one dark nightmare!

Yes, it's more sci-fi shenanigans from the book that has ComicBookResources.com raving, "Abnett and Lanning do an amazing job of delivering a quick-moving, jam-packed, high-octane, bombastic epic."

I asked about this over in the Nova thread, as well, but what happened after the return of Magus at the end of #17? Was that resolved in War of Kings, or has it yet to reappear in GotG? I got confused by the start of a new arc last issue which seemed to completely ignore that plot thread.

@Paradiddle: If you look at the preview pages for this issue of GotG, you'll see that they begin to address Magus' return. My guess is that more will be done next month when Walker returns, since he seems to be the one in charge of Warlock and Rocket...

I've been enjoying Craig's art all along, glad to have you onboard. Can't wait!

Yeah, this is definitely headed some massive climax where all the strings they've been introducing since the series launched come together (probably jumping off into the next space mega-series).

You know you have a great series when all you have to do is look at the cover and think:
'Shit that can't be good.'

As someone who's about a week+ behind everyone, reading everyone's "ohsh*t*" comments without spoilers is one of the more rewarding aspects of reading comics. Thanks guy.

The Shit!

Nooooooo!!

@OttoBott I don't even want to justify it with "AND THEN I CAN'T BELIEVE WHEN [deleted] HAPPENED!!! OMGWTFBBQ" because if you read it, you'll know EXACTLY what happened. You can't not. There's no point spoiling it.

Wow, I didn't see that coming! But, I'm actually fine with all of those people gone except for Mantis. She was one of my favorites!

That felt.... real. They better find a way to get this undone.

This series is phenomenal. Although some of these deaths may not be permanent, I'm definitely interested to read further. That's what this series has been about anyway. An unlikely team trying to protect the universe, deal with loss, right the wrongs, all the while dealing with their number one enemy: the balance of the universe/life - the fact that there is always a price to pay. This is probably the biggest consequence yet, and of course, it's for the team's biggest/most important mission yet. It should be interesting to see how the remaining team grows from this.

Probably my favorite book right now, but I'm not a fan of Wes Craig's art. Although Guardians has a comedic undertone, I think Craig's pencils are a little too cartoony for this series. I think Brad Walker is coming back to the book and I hope he stays for good.

Walker can't do a monthly, Graig's the fill in artist.
Posted by rockingeek on 11/02/09 at 09:02 AM
I didn't think I would ever say this, but Craig's art is starting to grow on me...
