I enjoyed the beautiful artwork, introduction to Guardians of the Galaxy (and am totally 'shipping' Lady Gamora and Thor), and the tongue-in-cheek references to 'General Whedon' which made me laugh out loud. But for the storyline itself ... it was just okay. I'm no comic book purist, but there was a little too much 'action' in my action heroes. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In addition to the main cast from the films, who take the lead in the story, the book also includes the expanded Avengers roster. I was pleased with this since I love Spider-woman and was happy to see her again, and still dating Hawkeye as happened in the Fear Itself event (pre-Marvel Now). But, readers needn't have read anything before starting with this book. The plot has the mysterious Zodiac organization stealing powerful relics at the behest of a more powerful villain, Thanos. His part in the story makes it possible to introduce another super-team, The Guardians of the Galaxy. Which just so happens to be another forthcoming film in the MCU; Marvel certainly knows how to market their products! This is a nice introduction to the team if you've never heard of them and the interaction between the two groups is a lot of fun. The book is heavy on the action and humor, just like the films, and kept me fully engaged.
If there is one flaw to the collection, it's that the story lacked any real tension. The situation is dire - né world-ending! - but I never felt like the heroes wouldn't save the day. Or, that they would even suffer any real consequences. However, after reading such morally ambiguous and heavy storylines like Civil War, Siege and Avengers vs. X-Men,(all of which I highly recommend) this light-heartedness was more welcome than weakness. Overall, I loved this. ( )
