thirdeyecomics: Brian Michael Bendis has been doing an incredible job of taking the world of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and making it totally relevant, and most importantly: cool. The series reads a lot like if THE AVENGERS and Joss Whedon’s FIREFLY had a baby — it’s smart, it’s action-packed, and the characters have a TON of life and personality that helps get you invested in the run. Featuring a cast of all-star artists, ranging from STEVE MCNIVEN to SARA PICHELLI to FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, the series welcomes another major name in the realm of comic art with KEVIN MAGUIRE this week. Kevin Maguire is one of those names that you may not know instantly, but he is truly a comic legend, and is responsible for an era of JUSTICE LEAGUE stories with Giffen from way back in the day — you know that classic Guy Gardner getting knocked out in one hit by Batman sequence? You can thank Kevin Maguire for that. We’re big fans of his art, and with his knack for being able to tell a story with strong facial expressions, and dynamic storytelling — he’s a perfect fit for this top shelf book. Wanna hop aboard GUARDIANS? We can get you up to speed with issues 1-9, or start you with the first hardcover, collecting 1-5 then catch you up from there.
