Rated T
The series continues to boast strong art and sharp writing - but I prefer the stories set in deep space, rather than here at home. Read Full Review
Guardians of the Galaxy continues to be a great series and while I like this book for being so far removed from what's going on with the rest of Earth's shenanigans, here we're forced to see them be apart of it.......... and it still works really well and I can't wait to see where our Guardians will stand when things come to ahead in Civil War....... especially if the book continues to look this good.

With this issue, Guardians makes its belated entry into Civil War II. Given the team's ties to Carol Danvers and other earthbound heroes, there's some potential to be mined from dragging them back to earth at this point in time. But none of that makes for a particularly compelling tie-in yet. Read Full Review
Star-Lord's struggling to decide what to do, he doesn't think things will end well if he tells Gamora about the whereabouts of her adopted father, but how long can he hide things from the Galaxy's best warrior? That's where this issue finishes, in hopes to get readers back next month to see Gamora lose her shit! Read Full Review
Overall this issue doesn't do much to advance the CW storyline. It seems like they could have either provided more insight on the Guardians or showed their direct involvement in the conflict. Bendis usually delivers but this issue is a misstep. Read Full Review
Guardians of the Galaxy #11 connects to Civil War II about as tangentially as it can while still being relatively necessary (not necessarily good) reading. The Guardians show up as surprise backup at the end of Civil War II #4, so knowing how they got there could be construed as important. But really, this issue is filler with a shoehorned sub-plot about Thanos that probably won't go anywhere. Read Full Review
Why do I love this book so much and everyone else seems indifferent to it?
Most of what I have read of the Civil War tie-ins have been from heroes that are siding with Ironman so it was interesting to see things from a different perspective. There is no real action to this issue, just the GOTG's lead in to the upcoming conflict. It also gave a bit of a preview on how the team can fracture when everybody starts learning everything that is going on. The art is fitting for the title. Overall this is a good installment.
