• Mother Entropy's final test involves, what else, a no-holds-barred brawl at Starlin's Bar. But this is a battle like no other the Guardians have ever fought.
Rated T+
The Guardians are over the heads in danger, but end up having to save the universe, again. The story is fun, the action big, and the visuals beautiful. This is a Guardians story for everyone to enjoy. Read Full Review
A blasé bar fight crowns Pip the Troll as the new Mother Entropy; next, the Guardians have to save the Shi'ar from him or visa-versa. The body-swapped fight could have been great. Unfortunately, crafting distinctive character voices is not one of Jim Starlin's strengths. After this desultory kickoff, the whole Mother Entropy plot is looking underwhelming; it's extremely easy to predict what plot points the last two issues will be hitting. Whether it's intentional or accidental, Mr. Starlin is writing Pip and the Guardians as morons, and that's not a lot of fun to read. Alan Davis's art commits no sins, but neither does it step up to provide any of the excitement that this script sorely lacks.
