Mar 29, 2017STAR-LORD #5 comes at you with full on action and suspense, cementing itself as the best in the series with more in the tank. Read Full Review

Apr 04, 2017The art suits the story perfectly, pastel colours, thin lines, flat compositions for the most part all give the story a grounded feeling and the fantastic elements pop all the more for it. Read Full Review

Apr 01, 2017All this being said, Star-Lord is simply fun, even when the story is given some pretty strong emotional weight. This comic genuinely made me audibly sigh (in sadness, not because of how thirsty it made me), but I wouldn't want to spoil why. Read it yourself! Go on! You'll thank me for suggesting it, I swear.

Mar 30, 2017It does seem like this book is a little too preoccupied with ancillary characters like Old Man Logan (who's quickly becoming as overexposed as his predecessor was), but there's no denying that Logan's bond with Javelynn is a great deal of fun to read. Read Full Review

Mar 29, 2017There's a lot of good in this issue, it just feels like the creators bit off a bit more than they could chew in such a small time frame. Read Full Review

Mar 31, 2017Actually, no. I'm really wishing this series acts as a soft-launch for "Guardians of Galaxy," which follows the (mis)adventures of Star-Lord, Daredevil, Shocker, Black Cat, Old Man Logan and Abigail Brand as bouncers for a space-disco called Galaxy. Make mine Marvel" please. Read Full Review

Didn't like: 1. BC getting away (but maybe that was the point with her luck power showing); 2. 2. Logan getting called in for stabbing threw guys; 3. Melter melting THAT crowbar; Silver Bandit and Javelyn were still at the top of their game despite age and retirement. Otherwise, I really liked the entertainment value and look forward to see how it ends.

This is another strong entry in this series, though the Black Cat grates as a villain. I can't quite buy her as boss of the NYC mob, and I can't quite buy Star-Lord, Logan, and Daredevil combined not being up to the task of taking her down. Anyway, this issue continues to hit the right humorous and touching notes. It's been fun and I am looking forward to see how it resolves next issue.

With special guest assistants Daredevil and Old Man Logan (and Shocker!), Peter and his buddies the Allens almost turn the tables on the Black Cat. Almost. This "dueling heist capers" story takes a dark turn at the climax, and I'm eager to see how it wraps up next month. There's really no question of calling this epic as long as Kris Anka's drawing it; his talents start and definitely end at characters striking poses in cool outfits. Detailed backgrounds and smooth action sequences? Mr. Anka ain't got time for that.

aside form some questionable art decisions, like having all the panels where a character gets hit tinted red, this was a good issue, Black Cat was surprisingly good as the villain, the bond between Edmund and Peter is believable and the suspense was very well-built. I also really like the way Shocker was written in this series as a whole, seriously marvel, give Zadarsky a Shocker mini-series, you know you want to. all in all, I'm glad we got this series and I'm glad I'm one of the few who picked this up
