I was so excited for this but it just felt a little lackluster. The roster had so much potential :/

Maybe I'm an easy sell. Maybe it's because the guardians are my favorite in the MCU. Maybe it's the glamor of reading guardians comics for the first time and realizing that this storyline is loosely based on volume 3 which is the best movie ever made of all times.

But I'll be damned if this final gauntlet story arc isn't just as colorful and amazing as the movies are and I now realize just his good James Gunn is as a story teller. And just how much I was missing not reading guardians comics.

This is the newest Guardians book and even though this is following some big event (Infinity I think), I still enjoyed this. I will definitely pick up the next trade. might even go back and read the event.

A lot of things have happened in the Marvel Universe pre and during 2019... Like wow this book had a few "*" text boxes that linked what a character said to a recent issue or series explaining those events. This was a wild ride that overall told a cohesive story - Thanos has died, but in a little post-death event he's threatened a plan to come back using someone else's body - and basically every cosmic hero is threatened or affected by the search for this Thanos-surrogate. The theme of death is just constant in this comic, with some really engaging personalities and side-changes. The art was great, with a few awesome moments, and the character interactions were short but pleasing. The new Guardians line-up is actually really interesting, and I'm keen to read further about how they handle the cosmic vacuum and threats left in Thanos's wake - but there's a lot of books on my reading list haha. Overall a fun read, just catch up on your recent Marvel Comics history first.
