There's an awful lot of Avengers in my Guardians of the Galaxy comic. While I approve of the poetic gaze into the far distance of our friend Thor here, I signed up for a GotG romp. They existed in this comic sprinkled in amongst a huge chunk of Avengers stuff, which was fine, but also not what it was billed as.

Kind of a hit-or-miss bunch of comics here, too. I really liked the Avengers

Spoiler

trying to be Avengers without the support of their government clearance. The part where they have to take the bus to the 'burbs to respond to a call killed me

. I also was super into the inclusion of the High Evolutionary bits, and enjoyed reading about Counter Earth. Lots of misses for me though, like the entire Spider-Man thing. Like, what?

But it still was a fun read, I was just disappointed at the lack of GotG in my GotG-labeled volume.

I think this might contain the entirety of the Korvac saga? Well it's really bad and has a hilariously awful ending with the most weak attempt at Making U Think I've read

Spoiler

this guy who wanted to remake the world in his image was actually 100% good and the avengers should have just... ignored him... ok

It also features an epilogue to the Korvac saga published in some annual which just makes it even more muddled.

Most of this stuff focuses on the Avengers fwiw. Also because it's *just* the stuff with any of the Guardians in a later story has just the 2 comics setting it up and then nothing else so you start and then don't finish! Which sucks. On the plus side it is completist about all the stuff with guardians of the galaxy, the art is good, sometimes really stunning, the dialogue is... ok. Whatever it's fine but not very exciting
