Readers, I went from not being overly excited to even reading the issue this week to being exceptionally impressed by how much I loved it. Sure, I wanted to know what happened to Star-Lord. But, this issue was just fun, fast, and loose while also exuding its own unique rhythm and charm. Read Full Review

Guardians of the Galaxy #9 is one of the best books I've ever read from Al Ewing, and that's really saying something. Read Full Review

With any piece of profitable superhero IP it's always a question of when they'll come back, not if, so the trick becomes making that inevitable return impactful or interesting. Guardians of the Galaxy #9 certainly accomplishes this none too easy task in an issue that sketches a new culture in the Marvel cosmos while telling a story with neat formalistic elements that make it one of the most engaging issues of this already excellent relaunch.

Long time fans of Marvels cosmic tales will no doubt lap this up as they have the rest of Ewing’s run on Guardians. Not the strongest tale in the series so far it feels like important setup for future storylines, and an important part of Star Lords tale. The art and colours continue to be absolutely stunning. Cabal and Blee look set to be amongst the best artists on an ongoing Guardians series. Read Full Review

Star-Lord's whereabouts have been revealed, and his return to the Guardians promises more complications. Add in a really good art job and it's an interesting issue, even if it is a bit of a head-scratcher in places. Read Full Review

Overall, Guardians Of The Galaxy #9is a gorgeous issue. The artwork and colorwork are stunning and really lend to depictions of worlds and people that you can't help but want to learn more about. However, the pacing is a bit quick which is likely a result of packing in over a hundred years into 20 pages. Read Full Review

Outstanding Ewing book that's Star-Lord centric with some crazy ideas that were masterfully delivered by Juan Cabal. I always enjoy these weird set ups from Ewing and I hope he gets to deliver on them later as there are some bonkers and tip offs that could either be straight fire or a complete dud. We'll see! Enjoying this book very much and the art is just so good!

I miss the polyamorous blue people. ):

Federico Blee's colors were absolutely incredible.

I'm happy to have had a Star Lord centered issue. Even if what went on was kinda bonkers! Makes it hard to review on its own since so much of what was here I think is just the tip of more to come. Frankly, I'm not even sure what my biggest question is but it certainly makes me question everything we know about Peter Quill. I've read the original stories of Star Lord and I'm pretty sure Ewing is starting some possibly interesting retcons from that but it all remains to be seen.

I'm not excited for a king in black crossover. I always prefer these crossovers as a mini series and not to interrupt the main series UNLESS the same writer is doing it and has planned the stories together (such as Venom tying into king in black) I enjoyed King in Black and was initially going to skip it, so nothing against that story, but now we most likely have to delayed who knows how many issues before getting back to the Star Lord stuff which does have me interested for more. more

Guardians of the Galaxy
Volume: 6, Issue: 9
“I Shall Make You a Star-Lord”

Publisher: Marvel @marvel
Writer: Al Ewing @al_ewing

Peter Quill, the hero known as Star-Lord, sacrificed his life to stop the Olympian Gods and save his friends. Miraculously, Peter survived and awakened in a strange new world known as Morinus, the world beyond the sun. Joining a duo of nomadic heroes, Peter embraces his new life, letting go of the old, and lives for over 100 years until Olympian’s return to exact their revenge. Realizing the only way to save Morinus is to enter a legendary gateway with the ability to send him home. In doing so, Peter finds himself atop a mountain of bones with Rocket Raccoon and Nova as a Venom-ized dragon soars overhead.

I love the artwork throughout this issue and the cover is really cool. As far as the story itself, it seems like we are leading to yet another Star-Lord retcon. Personally, the movies ruined the Guardians line to me. Once the movies came out, it felt like the writers started writing certain characters to match their counterparts. Rocket is completely different than he used to be. And Peter is nothing like he was during Thanos vol. 1, Annihilation or GoG vol. 2. I get that things change, but to me, it just wasn’t necessary.

It personally blows my mind on how people complain about DC Comics "terrible" writing when they totally love Marvel Comics who prioritzes politics over stories. I read people hating Robin because he reads "manga" and like Black Cat more than Tom Taylor's Nightwing.

But sure, DC Comics totally sucks when Marvel Comics made Starlord bisexual as a personal attack on Chris Pratt. At least DC Comics doesnt personally attack other people.

And people wonder why DC Comics have so many critics reviewing their series compared to Marvel Comics.

UTTER GARBAGE.
This is a direct personal attack to Chris Pratt.
