Excellent introduction to the series.
This issue is basically the origin story for Star-Lord who is the leader in the new Guardians of the Galaxy series. So basically a spaceship crashes down in the middle of nowhere and the space man and earth woman start to bond. They get “romantic” together shortly before he leaves off into space, leaving her pregnant. Most of the issue takes place when that child, Peter, is ten years old and follows his journey to becoming Star-Lord. I think that this is a very good issue for those of us who would like to get into this series as it presents the situation from an earth angle rather than from space which allows new comers to easier put themselves in the world. The writing is incredibly solid here and the artwork is excellent as well. While not essential to reading the new series it will certainly raise your investment in the main character and give more understand of what he is going through. I say this issue is definitely worth a look.
