Guardians of the Galaxy by Donny Cates, Vol. 1: The Final Gauntlet by Donny Cates

3.0

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.
