• The Guardians saved the Galaxy - at great and terrible cost. And now, they have to break the news... to the Guardians.
• Four artists tell three stories of two bonds broken, one born again...
• ...and the birth of the West Spiral Arm Guardians!
Rated T+
OverallA really solid issue that has some of the key characters doing some proper soul searching before getting ready to go out. Great twist at the end of the story, which concerns Rocket Racoon who could be in real danger given what Gamora's current mood is like. Read Full Review
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy #3 did not waste this opportunity to show how integral Peter was to the foundation of this family. The loss of someone like him changes everything, where the loss of a certain person to blame for the loss was not so much. It should be interesting to see what being a guardian now means when fighting for something other than the fate of the universe. Read Full Review
All of the artists bring something great to the issue. Each character is given great details and backgrounds to work with as the story unfolds and its fun seeing what each artist brings to the story. Read Full Review
The usual Guardians slapstick/action combo took a backseat and gave-way to a tragic moment (that will probably pass) and it paid off. Ewing empathizes with his characters in a way that can't help but bleed into his scripts and make for a compelling read. Even when we're pretty sure we know where things are headed. Read Full Review
Guardians of the Galaxy tries a lot of minor experiments and they all succeed to some degree, providing plenty for fans of both capes and comics to enjoy. Read Full Review
A slower issue than the first two, we get a chance to see the Guardians dealing with their grief. An extensive art team help tell the story better than Ewings words, which is a deliberate and effective ploy on his part. I’m looking forward to seeing whose still standing in this team once the dust settles. Read Full Review
A pretty solid issue. Moves the story along, and even better than that, it gets us a little more familiar with the characters, shedding some light on things we might not have already known. Read Full Review
Ewing has written some truly amazing series and issues in recent Marvel history but I think he missed the mark this time. Read Full Review
I couldnt be happier after reading this issue. If you read Al Ewings Rocket series from 208 or even Skottie Youngs Rocket series from 6 years ago, you'll be grinning ear to esr by the end of this issue. Sure... One of those things is spoiled on the cover, but no less this is an absolute treat! Its also a solid book by its own standards, theres a lot of artists but they make it work. Good character moments. But Im giving it a 10 because as a Rocket fanboy this is exactly what I hoped for from this series.
Prelude:
I've been loving Ewing's Guardians of the Galaxy so far, so let's see how this third issue goes.
The Good:
I enjoyed the I Am dialogue even if it could've been conveyed better.
The Drax and Moondragon scene was nice.
I enjoyed seeing how Gamora is reacting to Peter's supposed death.
Cabal's art was great yet again.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A completely different paced issue then last time but it conveys its story well. Another great issue from Ewing.
I really loved this issue. I'm glad the Moondragon thing is being addressed, especially, as that's been bugging me since Infinity Wars.
I’ve enjoyed the way that this book hasn’t shied away from really slowing down and examining things, now that being said the start of this issue may have taken that a hair too far. But overall I found it very enjoyable, Cabal is still killing it on the art and the end left me excited and wanting more.
Beginning was sliw af but then the true motives became apparent as I read on!!!!
The Guardians react to Quill's death. Gamora's crushed, Rocket's out, Drax forges a connection with 616 Moondragon. And elsewhere in the galaxy, a new player lines up complications by subcontracting the Guardians for an assassination. It's got an ambitious, compartmentalized structure that fits the large art team, and the script makes some daring leaps. In the end, it's a good read -- but not quite the great read Al Ewing was hoping for.
-Great opening, love the emotional scene from groot's POV
-Not sure how to feel about drax not knowing the pretender from the alternate moondragon(but i also need more context from the comics that led to this run)
-Great pages with gamora trying to process the events of the last issue
-Little bit of a slower issue this time around, but it seems like a new setting is coming up
" Not me. I wasn't there. It was the other one--the--the perfect one. Not me., i'ts never me. "
- MOONDRAGON
Confused about what happened with Moondragon, but pretty good issue. Glad i read Rocket 2017 before this.
I, uh, didn’t get a lot of that, but okay.
