Anybody out there picking up on this yet? Haven't read anything by Morrison in years but this looked intriguing. I liked the first issue. It reminds me for some reason of certain Jack Kirby tropes but is probably based on Indian/SE Asian mythology being that it's from Graphic India.

@sinikettu: What I'm getting at is while I'm aware of the Abnett/Lanning run which I'm assuming is the volume your are referring to here,the Humphreys reboot of the origin was what was sorely missing in the movie. Yes the movie and this current Humphreys Starlord ties in with the Chris Pratt imagery but then what did you expect given the huge success of the movie? Personally I thought the movie stunk but I may be the only one saying that. Where this comic fell on it's face was the time jump back to Legendary's Kitty/Peter relationship squabbles. As dorky as it would have been it would have been better to go way back to the Nova style costume or just about anything else.It really doesn't matter now because the book is deservedly gone and smells of editorial mandate more than anything else.

@sinikettu: I think the problem for me was I hated the time jump in age in the movie and #1-5 was the direction the first third of the movie should have gone. The switchout in the current comic run killed all the action adventure momentum of the first 5 issues and seemed to me to be using up left over scripts from Legendary's cancellation just to use them up.I can't imagine who thought the recasting of Rocket as a Oprah/Dr.Phil surrogate for the stupid relationship problems between Kitty and Peter was necessary or remotely readable is beyond me. What a debasement of Rocket!

This has been nothing but a botched snooze fest from day 1,but maybe May sweeps will save it.Never ever launch a show when you are up against the Olympics or March Madness/Final Four nonsense. Who makes these idiotic decisions at ABC/Marvel?

Actually Baron Mordu could be Strange's Moriarty if handled right in the movie.The real problem with the historic portrayal in the comics is his ego always trips him up when attempting to unseat Strange as Sorcerer Supreme.Dormanmu tends to be the Cosmic entity Strange has to deal with from time to time to get what he needs to defeat the Forces of Darkness including D himself..Basically Mordu has been dropped as a plot device for some time because he is usually relegated to be the main foil in the Strange origin story and only pops up from time to time.

Thank you, for the clarification. Am I glad I didn't bother with AU.I'm definitely skipping Avengers AI. Boring group of characters and no M11 from Agents of Atlas.This mania for dragging obscure Marvel background characters out of the archives is what has plagued Fearless Defenders, a much better book than this.I give this a very short run.

I think what makes me angry is when an editorial decision is made to change things up as drastically as killing a character off that Marvel/DC don't stick to their guns and make it permanent.I think a lot of it has to do with keeping the franchise alive because in real life no one would pick up the mantle and become the next Spiderman or Superman.If the storyline is hugely unpopular they can reverse course in a hurry.Of couse with some non powered characters such as Captain America or Batman it would be possible to have Barnes as the new Cap or Grayson as the new Batman and just leave it that way which neither company opted to do obviously.A little change is good ,but many fans are too hidebound to accept drastic change.Inevitably these things have to do with short term attempts to create a sales spike by editorial that have little to do with logical plot development or good story telling.Despite the leaps and bounds of comic quality this may be one of the reasons there is still some ridicule among outsiders over what we read because this kind of storytelling doesn't follow traditional storytelling patterns.In real life what these attempts would mirror is after Marie Antoinette (Sic?) is beheaded a few months later she comes back to life.Ask your Creative Writing teacher about this. He or she is getting paid to discuss this sort of thing and we are not.( Ha,Ha) Have a good one.

Hello again.I can't believe no one has responded to you yet.Yes, I think with todays CGI Ant Man could be awesome and gives us a chance to see something different.I see it more as Sci Fi grand adventure rather than superheroics for the first film and it would be a mistake not to include Wasp.Until FF reboots she is the only other female character other than Black Widow we've seen so far unless Sif or Valkrie popped up in Thor.( I haven't seen Thor).Next up I'm Hoping for Dr. Strange. What do you think?

Please don't run these two together it'll give them the idea for another stupid crossover. GH and RS.GH spends too many pages without the costume and talking too much and with almost no costume on RS at all the RS storyline is just goofy.

@Jonny Anonymous: I don't know about you but as I read this page the 1st two covers are clearly Francavilla and Panosian.Ross is #3.Ergo the first 2 covers Francavilla and Panosian suck.The Syaf cover is my favorite but fails to include John Carter which I thought was a little bizarre.Ross covers are Ross covers. You either love them or hate them but this one is way too busy but still well done.
