In the "Grounded" storyline, Bendis has been giving us individual stories that are, well, grounded, giving greater insight into character along the way. This is the first one that kind of falters. I didn't know much about Angela, and I still don't really. It starts all right then descends into an action scene that I didn't really find that interesting, not knowing the stakes. Not bad, but as interesting as the last several issues.

Angela gets all of three pages to reflect on non-Guardians business (like the fact that *the love of her life is MIA*) before she gets mistaken for Gamora and swallowed up by "here comes Thanos a-bloody-gain" foreshadowing. It's surprising to find out this arc and this title are going to wrap up with a Thanos fight. Not a good surprise. It was at least nice to see an acknowledgment - however brief - that Angela was torn straight out of a "happily ever after" situation for this volume of Guardians nonsense.
