GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ANNUAL #1

(W) Brian Michael Bendis (A/CA) Frank Cho

• Most days in space aren't exactly what you'd call normal, but everything seemed to be status quo today.

• That is until a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier showed up out of nowhere...IN SPACE.

• Sometimes you have to go outside your jurisdiction to take care of business, but this might be stretching it a bit.

The art isn't /TOO/ bad but the dialogue is killing me.

@humanrocket: I've been reading Guardians 3000 for a while now and decided it's leagues ahead of this title. My only complaint about that series is that the art feels a bit off at times, but overall it's a solid book!

Sigh I really wish Marvel would get this book out of Bendis hands, or at the very least get Carol Danvers away from him.

Though the banter is witty, I think it could be toned down a notch.

Considering how long it took to actually publish this annual (from August--> December) I hope it will be worth it.

At least the art looks nice even if the dialogue could be more focused I.E a bit less.

I like Frank Cho's art.

Interesting Mystery Plot, with the Misplaced Helicarrier.

I can see how Rocket Raccoon seems a bit cartoony but no biggie.i think.

Agreed with you guys on all counts. Cho provides some great art, but Bendis' dialogue..ugh. Like you said, Guardians 3000 is light years ahead of this book! If only they could get Dan Abnett to write the regular book as well, or Andy Lanning..or any combination of the D or the A! Bring back that ol' cosmic magic.

They don't work together anymore.

Wow, Carol's actually in this, but isn't on the cover this time?

This series has been weird like that.

Yeah, that's a shame. But it would be awesome if Dan Abnett could do the main GOTG book, & G3000--like when him & Lanning did Nova & GOTG. I know Dan could do it; Marvel needs to get a writer on this book like him that really gets cosmic space opera/adventure, as well as fun.

You got that right bro. That's why we need Dan Abnett on this book ASAP.

bc he has a huge built in fanbase based on goodwill from his street level stuff and 10 years on Avengers. The people buying it are either people holding out hope that it will get better or people that aren't fans of the sci-fi elements of the series and haven't read the last Volume. Because I guarantee anyone who has read the last Volume would like it more than this one.

Damn straight. Abnett is the man; I hope after Bendis leaves(hopefully soon) Marvel will let him take over the title. He handles both teams of Guardians, classic & modern, awesomely. I also agree about Sam Humphries, I've really been enjoying Legendary Star-Lord!! Maybe after Black Vortex they can give him a shot at writing GOTG- unless Abnett is willing & available, of course.

As cool as it would be, I don't think Abnett will be writing both Guardians teams. Also you know Bendis, he hangs on books like a tick.

@jonny_anonymous:

I know what you mean, wishful thinking on my part. I remember when Bendis had a death-grip on the Avengers titles. I just wish we could get real cosmic stories in GOTG again. Right now my go-to books in that dept. are Guardians 3000, Legendary Star-Lord & Rocket Raccoon.
