Overall, this was a very good issue, and even the humor seemed less forced than usual. Read Full Review

The swap between character centered issues and plot driven issues can be a little distracting, but it makes sense for introducing us to the characters more. This being one of the plot driven issues was more fun and had some great art. The reveal at the end had me at peak interest. Gerry Duggan is writing the characters to fit a little better with the movie counter parts so the characters are more exaggerated, but I am loving that. He mixes a good amount of humor and action. The art has a retro feel that mixes well with the tone the team is going for. This is a series that was not on my list at first, but has grown on me and I keep coming back too.

Fantastic and mysterious story by Duggan. Awesome art by Kuder and lovely colors by Svorcina. I'm excited for the future of this cosmic tale.

Duggan does a wonderful job capturing the comedic banter amongst the various Guardians crew. We don't get a whole lot of answers within this issue, but it has a good amount of action, and a decent enough cliffhanger that suggest we should start getting those answers soon.

The Raptors come calling for the ship the Guardians stole, or more precisely, a precious bit of cargo. They set off a nice zero-gee fight and throw some impressive twists into the plot, and the Guardians are well worth following throughout. We get another glimpse of the mystery man who's raised of crop of evil Groots, and some tempting hints about the identity of boss-Raptor Talonar pop up too. Aaron Kuder's art makes it all look good, and Gerry Duggan's script provides a lot of fun at a slightly-too-fast pace. Or is the title a little too slow due to the sheer number of moving parts being introduced?
