The Guardians' fight against Mother Entropy goes very wrong very fast. Can Quill and Groot save the day? You can't ever fault Jim Starlin for lacking scope and ambition; this story turned into a universe-spanning version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with impressive quickness. Trimming the team down to the under-utilized pairing of Groot and Peter is an interesting choice; between their lack of a common language and the huge scope of their enemy, their future looks mighty grim. It's a welcome bit of tension after the last issue, but it doesn't look like this title is going to end up being particularly memorable.
