Bendis is destroying the cosmic characters. He doesn't understand the characters or the history and just does whatever he wants with no explanation. I've never been so disappointed.

I will never understand why Marvel gave this book to a writer that even admitted can't write space books and thats why he's setting it on earth. Why didn't they give this book to Hickman?

Most Likely.... but they're giving it a good shot this time around w/ the Nova comic and the Movie. And honestly... as much as I'm afraid of this --->

@stu said:

i only hope this series will not be about Ironman and some dudes...the title is GOTG it better be about them.

I think he will help keep the series selling.

And while I'm quoting everyone...... this as well:

@monopolyloser: I just like that w/ the Marvel NOW! initiative, they decided to give females more... "feasible" costumes. Not sure I like the Mass Effect-type armor, but I do appreciate the thought of having female characters not being dressed as extreme sex kittens.

Of course for some characters it's part of their personality (ie Emma Frost), yet for others like Gamora whose a warrior to the core, it makes for sense for her to be dressed in a way that's more conducive to that role.

@Z3RO180: Technically it hasn't happened yet, but in his solo series Tony has decided to explore the universe. I'm assuming eventually he'll be crossing paths/joining the GotG.

From a business standpoint, they're probably using him to give the GotG franchise a rub since they aren't well known to the public and have a big budget movie in production. I wouldn't be surprised to see a post-credits appearance for them in Ironman 3.
