Guardians of the Galaxy #3!

Guardians of the Galaxy #3 was good.  We get to see the good guys locked up and then miraculously escape from the ships brig.  While this was going on there was another conference of Empires and the other leaders are starting to dislike the King of Spartax.  The Guardians of the Galaxy manage to take control of the Spatax battleship they were held upon.  Then Peter Quill sent a message to all Spartax ships questioning his father’s motives and reminding his people that he was arrested for protecting the Earth from invasion for trying to do good.  This was a very interesting if somewhat talkative issue.  I especially enjoyed the Spatax soldiers inspecting the Guardians ship.

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 !!!

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 was good it was basically a fight interspersed with a flashback.   The good guys fight to save the Earth and specifically London from alien attack.  There was also a flashback to a meeting of powerful people including Peter Quill’s father J-Son of the Royal Conclave of Spartax where there is a frank discussion of what to do with the Earth.  It was kind of cool to see who showed up for this little shindig lots of powerful leaders.  All of them at one time of the other have invaded attacked or otherwise messed with the people of Earth the; Supereme Intelligence of the Kree Empire, Gladator leader of the Shi’ar (Ok they know they are not rulers of the Galaxy) Young Annihilus leader of the Negative Zone, Queen of the Brood! The All-Mother of the Asgardians Freyja and Y-Gaaar of the Brotherhood of the Badoon. Back at the battle I was amused by how the good guys kept trying to contact others on Earth for help in the fight.  I especially liked the count down on power level of groups they should try to contact; The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Defenders then how about the Power Pack.  In the end the heroes win the battle but are “arrested” for violating the agreement that no one was to land on the Earth.  

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 !!!!

The Guardians of the Galaxy #1 was entertaining.  I am a bit annoyed that they brought in Iron Man (Tony Stark) of all people when it would seem the original cast was wacky enough without adding Iron Man.  The story starts out well enough with Star-Lord (Peter Quill) hitting on a female Kree in a bar.  They are interrupted when Quill’s father the King of the Galaxy (has anyone told the Shi’ar?) arrives to tell Quill that Earth is by law now off limits.  I was amused when the king admitted that he was in fact jealous of his son’s adventures.  We then switch to following Iron Man as he encounters a Badoon space craft and combat ensues.  At the “last moment” the Guardians of the Galaxy (Gamora, Quill, Drax, Groot and Rocket Raccoon – yes Rocket Raccoon!) and help to save the day.  The bad guys blow up their ship knocking out Tony Stark and escape.  The comic ends with an attack on the Earth city of London.  The backstory for this group is not what I remember and I might have to track down some trade paperback collections to know what is going on in this comic.  I have to say I enjoyed the story so far and hope the quality continues at this level.
