This issue may raise more questions than it answers, but those questions are more than enough to hold the reader's attention. The fact that this issue also goes a long way towards showcasing how this series will diverge from the movies rather than echo them certainly doesn't hurt. Read Full Review

I found this issue interesting, you get to see Gamora in a different light. The art work reminds me of scenes from Doom or even a little Sandman at times. It is definitely one to make you think and I am looking forward to reading the next one to see where they go with this story arc. Rate 4 out of 5 Read Full Review

All-New Guardians of the Galaxy is shaping up to be a much better series than expected. Gerry Duggan is out to show the world that he can make these characters his own despite their worldwide popularity. This is a book that could easily be on cruise control. Where you tell a different version of the same story because as long as key characters get their moments most will walk away happy. Instead what we have is a book that is striving on its own merits reminding readers of the majesty of the Marvel cosmic universe. Read Full Review

Garry Duggan is shaping this book into one of the group's must-read runs, and with Frazer Irving on board for this issue, you know you're going to be in for a treat. If you're a fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy and you for some reason aren't reading this series yet, then it's something that really needs to be remedied as soon as possible. Read Full Review

Irving is a master at creating mood with his artwork, but some of his stylistic tendencies can overwhelm the clarity of the narrative at points. But overall, Irving's art works well with Duggan's haunting script and provides some additional depth we didn't have before. Read Full Review

An uncharacteristically weak issue fails to make Gamora more interesting. Read Full Review

This issue builds up the mystery of Gamora and the soul stone in what is visual treat. Frazer Irving's art dominates this issue, as Gamora is led to discover more questions than answers about herself. I last saw Irving's art on a recent issue of "Doctor Strange," and his style is equally suited to heavy cosmic trippiness as it was Strange's world. Kuder is great, but if we're going to get a fill-in artist, it doesn't get much better than this.

I was totally not excited about this series but I gave it one issue to give it a chance. Three issues in and I have to admit I'm impressed so far. Gerry Duggan isn't my favourite writer but he's doing really good work on this book so far.

Gamora's dreams reveal her quest is tracking down the Soul Gem, which still has a piece of her stuck inside it. Some solid links to decades-old Guardians backstory make this a treat for hardcore fans, and they point to interesting things in the future. Resurrections? Oh, could be, could be. Frazier Irving's painterly art is occasionally beautiful, but it definitely has its drawbacks. Even after internet research tells me there's a peek at Eternity-in-Chains in this issue (from Ewing's Ultimates 2), I still can't see it. While this issue didn't end up exciting me, I can respect it as nice long-term storytelling and see that it loads up some great payoffs for the future.
