    Yet if you can get past the artistic woes, Guardians #9 remains another outstanding installment of one of the most reliable titles on the shelf.

    In all, this book is still an exciting high-octane read, but the art needs to find solid footing akin to what this title enjoyed through Pelletier's dedication to this book. I'm not saying that Pelletier's style has to be aped or imitated here, I'm just saying that "Guardians of the Galaxy" needs solid art that is stable month in and month out. Otherwise, this title could be doomed before it really has a chance to reel in new fans from the "War of Kings" event. Read Full Review
