"The spectacular arc that preceded ours, created by the unbeatable Al Ewing and a cohort of brilliant artists, had ended in the happiest of endings. The Guardians transformed into the Avengers of space. Shiny happy people holding hands. But depite the ending... the characters still lived. Time still ticked. So, as much as we loved them...

"...it was up to us to explode the sun."

Finally explained, the reason why the current Guardians of the Galaxy series has Mantis changing personality and appearance constantly.

Parted from his ol' buddy, ol' tree Groot, Rocket Raccoon has made the smart choice and teamed up with an adorable robot. For some strange reason, I'm sure its voice sounds just like the Iron Giant's...

Invited to a Spartax hunting expedition, the Guardians display their superior abilities with the simple use of sound effects that match their names.

And really big guns.

The third Guardians of the Galaxy film came out this week. It's the end of an era not only for the Guardians but also for James Gunn who ends his tenure at Marvel with this film. It's been quite a ride.

For those who saw it, what did you think?

My thoughts… overall this was a solid conclusion to the story and I’m happy Gunn was able to tell it. I think part 2 is the highlight of the franchise but nevertheless Gunn stuck the landing here. It’s been a real treat to see these characters grow throughout these films.

As with so many Marvel heroes recently, the Guardians of the Galaxy have been AWOL for a while in-universe. Now they're back! And a whole bunch more cowboy-y. Also (not in the scans here), Nebula calls Star-Lord 'flesh friend'.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special debuts today on Disney+. What did you think of it?

In my opinion it's a pretty fun short film. It's nice seeing Gunn back with the MCU after five years. The focus is on Drax and Mantis (the other Guardians still have some good moments) and the two have some great scenes together. I can't wait for Vol 3.

And I say “galaxy,” singular, because galaxies are absolutely fucking massive! And the space between them is even bigger. And when you actually sit down and figure out, okay, the Skrulls are impinging on the Kree’s boundaries…that’s a great politics plotline, but that’s like saying I have an issue over a garden fence with a guy in Azerbaijan. [...] I said, “well, they’re the Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s one galaxy.” I don’t care what anybody said before, I don’t care what anybody says after: for the purposes of this book, there’s one galaxy, and if people complain, we’ll shrug and say, “well, there’s always been one galaxy. You must have imagined all those other stories.” But, yeah, no: it’s cheating. I feel like at this point, I’m allowed to completely ignore continuity. I have paid homage to it enough. I am allowed to completely ignore it to make my life easier. -- Al Ewing

I have a reputation for being very continuity-minded myself, but that's only true to a certain point, and the book is called 'Guardians of the Galaxy'... so it's a book that deals with a single galaxy. Anyone with an advanced level of Marvel history knowledge will see a problem there - including, I suspect, some editors - but until I get fired for this blunder, please do whatever you need to to make our single-galaxy setting work in your own head. -- Al Ewing

Greg Pak made [Hercules] a serious player, but kept him fun. Dan Abnett made him get serious in himself, to the extent of having him stop drinking, which is the bell you can't really un-ring - that felt like a major foothold in the rock, in terms of cementing the character's evolution and preventing too much backsliding. But looking back at that series, he's still heavily motivated by other people's opinions of him. I wanted to break him free of that shell and spread his wings, to put him through the wringer and then have him cast off all his old insecurities and emerge as the best, coolest, sexiest, most secure version of himself - and then, as the cherry on top, send him into space in a cool new outfit to Flash Gordon his way around the universe and bring it all full circle. -- Al Ewing

"Annihilation" became the word for "war" in the Marvel Space environment. The Annihilation War was huge -- both in terms of the many titles and minis it spread across, and the effects in-universe -- but it also gave readers a look at all the moving parts of Marvel's alien environments. This is something similar -- a guided tour of where we are, and where we'll be going, that also potentially sets up some pretty big things for down the line. But it's also the Last Annihilation -- it's the last war, at least for a while. Whether that's because galactic society comes together or falls completely apart... Well, wait and see. -- Al Ewing

SWORD is the mutant space program - as we've seen, Brand wants to speak for Sol, and she has plans. A lot of plans. Nova - who's almost her opposite number in a strange way, though they both go to the same therapist - has his own ideas, and we've already seen what they look like, and it's a much brighter, more primary-colored vision, less tied to one planet or star. The old-school superhero and the spymaster - their ideas of what the right thing to do is are always going to be very different, and quite soon, they're going to come into contact with each other. -- Al Ewing

It's surprising to me that Doom doesn't do more in a galactic context - he's such a big deal in his own mind that he should let the whole universe know of his greatness. And of course, he's literally created a whole universe of his own in the past, and ruled it. So it's not that he's short of ambition. -- Al Ewing
