Guardians of the Galaxy: New Guard, Volume 1: Emporer Quill by
2.0
Is this a DC comic? Because it clearly says “Volume 1” on the cover yet we join the story already in progress. Was Bendis just warming up for his job switch?
This took me nearly two weeks to read in dribs and drabs. I kept coming back to it and reading a couple pages before sighing “meh” and moving on to something else. I had to push myself to finish the last chapter (issue) tonight.
He’s trying to ape the movies, but it doesn’t quite work. There are a couple funny lines but it feels like a warmed-over pastiche of the second GotG film. The other Guardians comics I’ve read feel like this exact same story, just with different villains. Kinda lazy there.
Also, Bendis’ stuff is *horrible* on iPad. His constant use of 2-page spreads destroys readability, and he does the double thing randomly, so it constantly caught me by surprise.
Man, I’m realllly in a reading trough this week.
