A lot of things have happened in the Marvel Universe pre and during 2019... Like wow this book had a few "*" text boxes that linked what a character said to a recent issue or series explaining those events. This was a wild ride that overall told a cohesive story - Thanos has died, but in a little post-death event he's threatened a plan to come back using someone else's body - and basically every cosmic hero is threatened or affected by the search for this Thanos-surrogate. The theme of death is just constant in this comic, with some really engaging personalities and side-changes. The art was great, with a few awesome moments, and the character interactions were short but pleasing. The new Guardians line-up is actually really interesting, and I'm keen to read further about how they handle the cosmic vacuum and threats left in Thanos's wake - but there's a lot of books on my reading list haha. Overall a fun read, just catch up on your recent Marvel Comics history first.

I was so excited for this but it just felt a little lackluster. The roster had so much potential :/

Did you ever get the sequel to a movie and wonder what the hell is going on? All the characters make references to events you don't understand and sound way more interesting?
That's what this was. Apparently, there has been ANOTHER Infinity War and shit done happened. Like Groot can talk now type shit (and bad news-he's a DICK). And they combined characters from a ton of other series and didn't explain them much. It might be better than I'm selling it, but I was just so lost and have no interest in learning.

This was so fun! It's been a while since I've read any Guardians of the Galaxy, and I wasn't up to date on the story leading up to this volume, but I was able to jump in very easily and enjoy the ride. :D

The Guardians of the Galaxy are really the Defenders in space. Their lineups are always shifting, they don't always get along and they are barely a team. Donny Cates really seems to get that. He also knows that Thanos sells. The story that results from those two elements is a fun space romp that doesn't take itself nearly as serious as its story's stakes in all the best ways.
