Guardian of the Galaxy Issue 7 Review

 

Guardians of the Galaxy Issue 7 Review

     One the few benefits of the Marvel Now reboot is that it gave me a chance to broaden my usual comic selection. Mostly due to the fact I’m boycotting Superior Spiderman until Peter Parker comes back and Uncanny X-Force being an utter disaster in my opinion.  I gave Guardians of the Galaxy a shot and I have not regretted it for a second.  The banter between characters is always entertaining.  I can never get tired of the interaction between Stark and Rocket Raccoon and how amazed Iron Man is by the technology he sees.  I have not even mentioned Gamora and Drax who I have not seen in action since the Infinity Crusades when I was a kid. If you’re looking for something new to read this book is definitely worth a look.

     In this issue there was a unique twist put on heaven on and earth that I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.   Absolutely cannot forget an Infinity tie in next issue which is probably the best crossover in a while.  An added bonus for anyone that is already a fan there was no “ Blam! Murdered you!” from Rocket Raccoon this issue because Lord knows there has been enough that nonsense.  Overall I’d give this issue a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

It’s Yondu!
