In the lead up to the Annihilation: Conquest crossover event we get a mix of the kinds of silly, overly serious nonsense reserved for younger readers willing to buy into comic machismo but you also get issues of Starlord. I'll admit, I'm only reading these in anticipation of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie but to that effect the Starlord issues are highly entertaining. Much of their pull comes from having a set of eclectic characters trying to work together in not so obvious ways. The fact that one of them doesn't work out so well just goes to show how dedicated the writers are to character driven action despite the greater plot being more or less contrived. So I guess I recommend this collection but only for the Starlord limited series.

Not as good as Annihilation but still good. The Wraith story is not that great and generally the writing is weak in many places. Still better than most Marvel comic series, a really interesting universe, races and cultures.

I only read the four Star-Lord issues, as part of a reading guide for Guardians of the Galaxy (since they just announced the movie). About to read Annihilation: Conquest #1-6, but it's pretty dense!
