Overall, Gamora is one of the most unexpected gems on comic shelves this year. The conclusion makes it feel like one hell of a prequel to what will happen next in her life, which is one hell of a chapter in her life and the actual payoff from her childhood trauma.

Grinchy Gamora's heart grows three sizes and she decides to escape with a pack of noble refugees instead of her bloodthirsty bandit relatives. Nebula pops up at the end to try (and fail) to provide last-minute tension. She's handed a pack of trite pop culture villain jokes that would fit perfectly into Beverly Hills Cop; they sound wildly out of place in the mouth of an exotic alien assassin. A shallow action script elevated with some top-notch Star-Wars-esque art plant this comic firmly in middle of the road. It'll satisfy folks who arrive with a pre-existing love of Gamora, particularly in her MCU incarnation, but there's nothing here to win the character new fans or elevate this title into a must-read.
