review 1: Perhaps a bit-in-the-weeds-y for those coming in just having seen the movie (the actual start of the Guardians story is probably somewhere around the "Annihilation" mini-series), mostly due to an overdose of Adam Warlock-ness, but if you're willing to jump in with both feet it is just so much fun. For those looking for more Starlord, Rocket Raccoon (HE DRINKS OUT OF A MUG THAT SAYS ROCKET RACCOON ON IT), Groot, Drax, and Gamora, this is the place. I also really enjoyed Mantis and hope she appears in the next GOTG film.
review 2: For those who want an introduction to the Marvel Cosmic Universe. This was a pretty good jumping on point. Dan Abnett has created an exciting and always changing space opera. There is a lot of back story you may want to know before jump... moreing into this first volume of the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy series. But the cool thing is that many of the members of this team are officially working as a team for the first time so the book has an origin kind of feel. I didn't have much trouble following the plot. I really enjoyed each of the characters and the conflicts among them. Peter Quill is definitely a Han Solo type character but love that behind all of his scheming he is trying to save the universe. Rocket the Raccoon is great. I really loved seeing Gamora, Drax, and even Mantis in action. There are so many characters to following in this Universe. I can see the hidden potential for why Marvel Studios chose the Guardians for a movie project. I am looking forward to seeing more of the characters from this series show up in the movie universe, especially Adam Warlock, Quasar, and maybe Captain Victory. This book was pure fun and cosmic gold. less
