That original origin is really grim. Is it just me or does it seem like every time Peter pops back up he's a slightly different character?
damn you @g_man i literally just brushed up on this character like 2 days ago. i remember reading GotG when they had the movie crew plus female Quasar and Adam Warlock after the Annihilation Wave, but the was quite some time ago. i didnt even touchthe Marvel Now GotG run yet.
Great video @g_man. The Star-Lord created by Keith Giffen and expanded upon by Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning is by far the best version of the character (and the Guardians of the Galaxy) and as far as I know also the version which inspired his character in the film.
It's a damn shame Brian Michael Bendis flushed all of that down the drain.
@hassun: To be fair, do you think he stormed Marvel's offices and informed them he was doing that? Or he snuck it by before anyone could catch it? I agree it's a great period in his history.
@g_man: Nice video! As a long time Star-Lord fan, I think you did an awesome job wrapping up Star-Lord in a nutshell. I made a similar thread like this, about what people should read before the Guardians movie.
@tparks: promo'd on the front page now.
Fantastic video G-Man thanks! I knew absolutely nothing about Star-Lord, I had no idea his origin would be something like that.
@g_man: I have no idea how he keeps doing that and getting away with it. It's as if he doesn't have to worry about any sort of continuity while other writers do. Maybe he just has massive pull at Marvel in general?
E.g. His X-23 isn't even X-23. It's just a teenage girl version of Wolverine. Speech patterns, behaviour, beer chugging. It's sad for fans of the character.
@dotwilson: Thanks. I couldn't resist adding in that bit.
Annihilation Star Lord was my personal favorite. I really don't like the pretty boy version that Marvel now has :/
I'm hoping the film will take more from DnA's Guardians than Bendis'. His series just doesn't have the same charm.

That makes two of us. That DnA run is incredible.
Pretty cool video. I knew about the more recent parts of the comic, but learning about his original back story was pretty interesting. Man, the GotG cast have weird backstories! I think Rocket Raccoon wins weirdest, though.
Excellent video G-Man, a very informative on detailing Star Lord's origin and history. My interest in Peter Quill has already gone up just by watching this video. Seems like a nice take on the classic swasbuckling cosmic cowboy with plenty of deep characterisation as well.
Hmm, cosmic cowboy does seem to fit with the origin. It's quite different from the character portrayal in the film, which is more of a rogue or thief.
I'm glad I watched this before I actually go see the movie. Sure they're going to put the cinematic spin on him where they can but at least I have a better sense about the general motivations of the character. I have a soft spot in my heart for the various scrappy gunslingers in the Marvel universe that manage to get by just fine and Star Lord always seemed cool from a distance. Say what you will about the original story, almost every time Englehart writes something it ends up being so weird it's awesome. Thanks for the video Tony. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
Who?
I see what you did there.
Who?
"Star-Lord Annihilation Conquest" would have to disagree. Star Lord was regarded as a hero.
