Guardians of the Galaxy: Dream On #1 has come out just in time for the new movie. Writer Marc Sumerak takes time and care to make sure these great characters are written right and loads the book with references to the Guardians past stories. Artist Andrea Di Vito and colorist Laura Villari contribute one of the best looking and visually engrossing Guardians comics this year. Read Full Review

The Guardians are trapped in a lotus-eater machine and escape by turning it around on their captor, Death's Head. Quietly decent art can't rescue a script full of tired jokes and weak characterization that's terrified of doing a single thing that might confuse MCU fans. The plot is also nothing special, featuring a telegraphed twist that is at least executed at a good pace. This has *got* to be a cash-in for the second Guardians film. The fact that it's bundled with a reprint of Guardians (1990) #1 which introduces Taserface supports this. Overall, terrifically skippable.
