Sacks and company have an interesting opportunity here. The plot structure of the first issue seems to suggest that Quill, Rocket and the rest of the group have been through a LOT since they were last together. If Sacks can tap into the unique dynamic of a group of people working together for the first time in ages to save the galaxy, the next 11 issues could be a lot of fun. Read Full Review

This issue is a superb introduction for what's to come and it shows incredible promise. Read Full Review

With an immediate effect that these creators care about this world and the characters in it more than just cashing in on the "old man" craze, Old Man Quill succeeds in introducing a fun and frightening new paradigm for Peter Quill's kooky space-faring world, scars and all. Read Full Review

I have been anticipating this title since it was announced months ago, and I could not be further from disappointed. Read Full Review

Overall, Old Man Quill does a pretty good job of picking up the tone established throughout the line of the other ‘Old Man Universe' line of books. While I'm very interested in continuing this story going forward, a negative, of the first issue at least, is it didn't do a whole lot to establish itself as something completely different from what we've seen Star Lord (Quill) or the other ‘Old Man' books do before. Hopefully meeting up with certain old friends doesn't hinder the experience going forward, as some solid art, and enough intrigue in the story make this recommendable for now. Read Full Review

Old Man Quill (2019-) #1 sees Old Man Peter Quill team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy for one final mission. The art and character designs are great. The story is a little lacking, but leaves enough to keep you hooked. Read Full Review

The literal crash-landing of an ending brings the series smack-bang into the rest of the "Old Man" universe, and it's more the potential of a second issue than anything here that is likely to bring us back for more. Read Full Review

Another trip to the Wastelands makes for an exciting premise, this opening chapter may lack a detailed script but more than makes up for it in character. Also there will be DOOM and you can never go wrong with Dr. D. That Mt. Doommore was a glorious and promising sight. Read Full Review

Die-hard "Guardians" fans will likely get the most out of this issue, which delivers some good moments but falls short of truly compelling. Read Full Review

Although its initial scenes are packed with promise and novelty, Old Man Quill #1 takes a turn in its final act and unexpectedly points the story in an all-too-familiar direction. It's bolstered by strong visuals and it will doubtless get back to cosmic dystopia content eventually, but the short-term prospects sparked by the detour are dim. Read Full Review

“Something good, something bad, or a bit of both?” Old Man Quill #1 winds up being the latter option. Though writer Ethan Sacks gets the tragedy of the line and the character of Quill, the plot of his first issue leaves something to be desired, though the potential could reveal itself in the next issue. Couple that with the dynamic, but distant artwork of Robert Gill and Andres Mossa and, unfortunately, things don’t really pull up too well especially for a first issue. As it stands, Old Man Quill #1 is an “Old Man” tale for completists only. Read Full Review

So, I don't seem to have the same things to nag about this issue as others. While some want more of the Wastelands (the Old Man Logan alternate-future version of Earth), I actually wanted the opposite. Sure, I want this taking place in the same future, but I was actually looking forward to a future version of the Guardians NOT on Earth. I just wanted future cosmic Marvel, where there aren't many helping hands from anyone on Earth. It looks like we might see some of that, as we did in this issue, but it looks like they're going straight to Earth, so everyone else is getting exactly what they want. Now, all that aside, as I can't be mad that this isn't what I wanted, what it is is still pretty great. This first issue sets up an interesting story, leaving many questions unanswered already. As a Guardians fan, I'm a sucker for a good writer tackling these characters, especially Quill, and Sacks proved he can handle this world quite well with Old Man Hawkeye, and he looks to continue that streak with this series, so consider me onboard the Milano (even though it crashed). more

I thought this was alright. Certainly not what Old Man Hawkeye was. I feel like most of this issue was just character set up for pay off later, but it came at the cost of most of the issue being unrelated to the wastelands and the Old Man Logan universe, at least as we've seen it before.

This didn’t really grab me, but hopefully future issues will get me more interested.

I was looking forward to this because Old Man Hawkeye was so good. This wasn’t. It also seems like the entire book was pointless as the actual plot of the series started on the last splash page.
