All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #11 surprises with its grittiness and unflinching narrative. It fills in some story gaps from years back while focusing on one of the more underappreciated Marvel heroes. I highly recommend this one; give it a read. Read Full Review
One of the things I really like about Gerry Duggan's run on this book is that, even with the title characters seemingly squashed into something that resembled their MCU counterparts, Duggan still manages to get in some deep dive Marvel Universe references. Read Full Review
While this issue will probably be just for diehard Marvel cosmic fans, don't sleep on All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #11, which may be one of Marvel's most consistently good reads. Read Full Review
Duggan continues his story and fills in all the pieces and solves the mystery bit by bit. Nicely done! The art was good and fits this story well. People complaining about the missing cosmic side, Abnett and Lanning's threads not being part of the Guardians Legacy should be reading this book. It's all there.
Gerry Duggan has been creating these singular one-shot stories within his run on All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, and for the most part they've worked well to flesh out the story. Issue #11 is a great example of this, as it sheds some background on the Raptors that attacked the Guardians during issue #8. Plus it's great to see Nova used in a Guardians book again. Hopefully this hints at Duggan involving more of the Nova Corps in his Guardians run. Great art by Roland Boschi and overall an excellent issue.
We get a sneak peek at Talon-R's secret identity, and who's that a step or two behind us on the discovery trail? Why, it's Richard Rider! Woo woo! While the most die-hard DnA fans might not be satisfied with this issue's continuity performance, it tells a damn fine story and does it well. Roland Boschi's art has a very personal and very skilled style that makes the comic that much more enjoyable. Gerry Duggan's decision to make his Guardians title a sort of Cosmic Marvel Survey doesn't always work out, but here it's doing a great job of fleshing out the world around the Guardians. But it shouldn't be overlooked - this issue does not contain any Guardians of the Galaxy whatsoever.
