Rated T+
Overall. A really fun issue, which ends with a nice little reunion and one hell of a cliffhanger to keep us in suspense until 2021. Read Full Review
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
Is this real life? Or is this fantasy? 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
This is a crazy issue. This is part of why Al Ewing is a great writer, who we should all respect. He takes very minor things from continuity and uses them to tell an interesting story, while also retconning other things to make them fit better, while also reinventing everything.
Instead of dead, Peter Quill actually spent a gross of years hero-ing in an alternate universe with some freaky new polyamorous teammates. And his Element Gun has gone all Prometheus, stealing the power of the Olympian gods and thereby ticking them off royally.
I knew from the title page that Al Ewing was aiming to bring back some of the character's old old old-school backstory as established by Jim Starlin. This was a much cooler reimagination of those ideas rather than a straight revival. (You can still see the astrological underpinnings, though; look at all those 12s.) Gorgeous art and fun, trippy ideas -- the one drawback is that it seems very likely to be swept straight under the rug by the incoming King in Black stuff. more
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 more

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 legenda more
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.
