Star-Lord still hasn't attained Must Read status for me just yet, but it continues to be a solid and sexy romp with a real handsome idiot. Read Full Review

Quill's second-chance-friendly approach to villains gets him tangled up in a caged crook caper courtesy of Black Cat. Chip Zdarsky starts weaving his plotlines together in a way that allays my fears from the last issue; it seems certain now that he's got a clear arc in mind for this title. He spent some time figuring out what makes the "Andy Dwyer in space" version of the character tick, and this story (even though it's barred from using an "in space" setting) is tailor-made to work with that lovable scamp.
