"It definitely is a strange feeling to fall in love with a greasy scumbag...but here we are.
Honestly it’s about finding his heart and showcasing that even though the book is lined with jokes and at times feels like it’s about to go off the rails - there’s a strong emotional core within it. We’ve found an anchor in Yondu that isn’t apparent right away but as you get deeper into it with his character you can see he’s in pain and it’s all an act. We’re showing a different side of who Yondu is while still channeling the things people know and love about him." -- Zac Thompson
"What I do want to say is that while, yes, this version of Yondu spun out of the films, Zac, John, and myself are making sure he has his own style, background, and character traits in the comics so it doesn’t feel like we’re just porting him from one medium to another. This was extremely important to us from the very inception of the project – to build out the new version of Yondu that he feels just as rich and multifaceted as any other character who has a titular series." -- Lonnie Nadler

Date: 2021-02-04 09:51 pm (UTC)A future astronaut named Vance Astro spent 1,000 years in suspended animation, woke up and met Yondu. They team with others to create the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Guardians eventually go back in time, when Astro was still a teenager named Vance Astrovik, and create a branch in the timeline where young Astrovik becomes Marvel Boy/Justice, an associate of Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Later, Yondu goes back in time by himself (somehow the Guardians always travel back to 616, even though they branched into an alternate timeline after the Vance stuff). He meets his ancestor/namesake, and inspires that person to become the legendary hero he was destined to become, thus inspiring Yondu's name and the origin of the earlier character's yaka arrow.
This is why time keeps breaking.
