Geoff Shaw punctuates the great story being presented with amazing art throughout. The characters all look amazing and the action is fantastically detailed and vibrant. Read Full Review

This book remains among my favorite Marvel comics right now. This issue delivers a major plot development, one that was promised back in the first issue. I highly recommend it. Read Full Review

This first arc in Guardians of the Galaxy has been a lot of fun. Now that we are nearing the end of it I am exciting to see how it wraps up and what comes next. My only lingering issue is that there are still aspects of the characters here that are obscured for new readers. They are generally minor but there is very little reason to care for them which does hurt this as a team book. Read Full Review

This is the series I've been waiting for, so great. Read Full Review

Guardians of the Galaxy #5 puts Hela in the driver's seat of the plot. That's bad news for the galaxy and all its guardians, dark and original-flavour. While this issue isn't much for characterization, it wrings dramatic, transformative developments out of the plot. It's satisfying in itself, and it promises plenty of desperate excitement to come. Good news for the villains is bad news for the heroes, but excellent news for the readers. Read Full Review

Whatever grievances I may have with the plot I can easily dismiss due to the high quality of the craftsmanship. The character banter never fails to be a high point, and the book's unique identity always keeps me engaged. Read Full Review

The new issue is focused more on correcting recent “mistakes” from other comics than it is about building itself into a good comic. Read Full Review

This book was a very quick read! Unfortunately, wanted to get more about the team we have but only ones who talked were the ones who have been doing most of the talk so far in this story. They are few characters who I know nothing about that I was actually looking forward to get invested in. I will admit the page with Cosmic Ghost Rider about to lay waste did look wicked! Hoping to see more of him. The art on some panels looked good while others looked alright, nothing I would brag about. The twist kind of saw coming. Again hoping this book gets it's groove after this first story gets done. Read Full Review

Prelude:
Guardians has been either very good or great so far. Let's see if Cates can bring the great standard the series had in it's first two issues back.

The Good:
I like the ties to Cates other stories.

Beta Ray Bill and Lockjaw were great.

I like Hela's show of strength. About time she was back in the story.

Shaw's art like most of this arc is great.

The twist was good.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
Cates brings the series back to where it was before and exceeds it even. A great issue that I loved the whole way through.

Great issue!

Damn, that was a nice twist. And a good comic. I like it very much.

And Knull -reference? I see what you are doing Cates...

THE GOOD:

-Every time I see this artwork, it continues to impress me.

-The character interactions here are golden.

-Don't worry Lockjaw. I was excited to see you.

-That splash page with Hela and Gladiator is really quite awesome.

-Cosmic Ghost Rider is still perfect.

-Hela is a fantastic villain.

-Oh man, Eros. Oh man.

-That ending is all kinds of bad. In a good way.

THE BAD:

-I don't really like how this issue brushed off the last issue's ending so easily, even if some humor was added.

Damn the poor guy just wanted to be a hero lol
Anyways nice twist towards the end. This book continues to impress me.

Probably the best issue of the series so far. Cates progresses the story forward with a great twist, while also giving hints to his other books as well. Marvel Cosmic is back.

Nooooo my precious cosmic boy!

NOOOOO. My fav character is dead.

This is a pretty dang good Thanos comic. But it's supposed to be a Guardians of the Galaxy comic.
