This July, Peter Quill flies solo for the very first time in THE LEGENDARY STAR-LORD #1 – the bombastic new series from fan-favorite writer Sam Humphries and rising star artist Paco Medina!

Spinning directly out of the pages of Guardians of the Galaxy and just in time for the highly anticipated summer blockbuster – the notorious interstellar outlaw is striking out to swindle and swashbuckle his way across the galaxy in search of big adventures and even bigger scores. Expect a battle with the Badoon, a fight to save an orphanage, not to mention a little flirting with Kitty Pryde of the X-Men – and that’s just the FIRST ISSUE!

“This book is going to be Peter’s adventures untethered from the Guardians, where he gets to play a little more fast and loose in the cosmic playground, says series writer Sam Humphries. “He likes to fight. He likes to flirt. He flies by the seat of his pants. This book is almost more like a Space Western. It’s about heists and cons, bounty hunters, revenge and all that good stuff.”

“These are the high flying adventures of a space cowboy,” Humphries continues.

From the cold abyss of deep space to the seedy alien underworld, deadly forces await around every turn – and the Star-Lord stands alone. As the brazen outlaw prepares to strike out on a new journey, no fan can afford to miss the continuing adventures of the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. An epic new adventure begins right here – if he lives that long! Hang on dear reader, as Sam Humphries & Paco Medina take you out of this world when THE LEGENDARY STAR-LORD #1 explodes onto comic shop shelves and digital devices this July!

The three interior pages look pretty good, but wish we had some dialogue. I'll check out the first issue for sure. The big question for me, how long before Bendis is forcing a crossover with Guardians?

What about Humphries turns you off of it?

I'm not overly familiar with his work.

His Ultimate and Uncanny X-Force are horrible. I can't think of a good thing he wrote.

The art is great and Star-Lord is one of Marvel's best characters, but that writer..... could they not get anyone who is able to write humor? Is Daniel Way even on a book right now? He was the funniest Deadpool writer and I think he would have been a great match for Peter's wit.

I thought the movies don't influence the comics and it's the other way around?

Huh...

Exactly this! I love star-lord and GotG, but I actually truely hate sam humphries. He had an uncanny way of absolutely ruining characters, X-force had a great line-up but somehow he left me with a really bad taste in my mouth with all the character including ones I really like/d. I really like star-lord, so I don't dare ruin him by tainting him with humphries.

I don't even dislike any other writers, but I really do completely hate Humphries. His x-force was so terrible, worst than that crazy phase with the doop gang... I really feel like he only read like 2-3 issues to try to learn characters before writing them, because he makes characters seem like they are totally different people than they have been for years/decades in the comics worlds.

@tparks: What powers are you on about? I'm not aware of this o.O

When he originally appeared in the bronze age, he had quite a few powers. He had faster then light flight, a healing factor, super strength, enhanced durability, the ability to survive in space unaided, he could read and speak every language in the universe, he had full understanding of any technology just by touching it, and his element gun flowed from his own energy and was only limited by his thought. He summoned hurricane strength winds and an ocean's worth of water on one occasion. He also was partners (and at one time in a relationship) with a living ship that was a former star that gained consciousness, and was able to transform itself into a ship. Here's a respect thread I'm working on, if you want to check it out: http://www.comicvine.com/star-lord/4005-10957/forums/star-lord-respect-thread-1529995/#2

It wasn't until one of the Thanos mini-series that they took his powers away, and then gave him cyborg enhancements. When DnA started their epic cosmic run, they took away the cyborg enhancements, and made him a normal human. Then Bendis came in and ret-conned pretty much everything about Starlord, so his origin has become a little muddy.
