It’s the Abnett and Lanning Guardians. What more is there to say?

The Guardians are in the middle of fighting the Church of Universal Truth. So, cleaning up another one of Adam's messes.

I had forgotten how fun the debriefing segments were.

The Guardians return to Knowhere to fill in the goodest of boys.

It feels weird to see Mantis and not have her be presented as the Greatest Thing Ever.

So many good lines in this issue, so little time.

Ah, the time when Phyla was competent and treated with dignity. Enjoy it, because it does not last.

(I do sometimes wonder if Rich's line about proactive forces was a bit of self-deprecating, given D'n'A wrote Force Works, who were a proactive force.)

I'm not surprised this first cast didn't last, half of them seemed redundant. We even had two green blade users, of all things.
