All New Guardians of the Galaxy 1 Review
Coming into the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise during Dna's incredible run on the Marvel cosmic corner I've become a big fan of the team. Seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy's popularity explode cheers to the movie has been a true joy as these are characters that deserve the attention they weren't previously given. Now while the movies have made the squad more than popular than ever the Guardians of the Galaxy comic books haven't reached the same height. Though they are at present selling better the series hasn't reached the acme of the Avengers comic sales. With that said Gerry Duggan, who has had a very enjoyable run on Deadpool, is the exact author I want handling the franchise and have high hopes for All-New Guardians of the Galaxy. Volition it meet expectations? Let's detect out with All-New Guardians of the Milky way #1.

The Good: All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #one does exactly what it needs to practice to bring in new and old fans into the serial. Gerry Duggan waste matter no time in establishing who the Guardians of the Galaxy are and why we should care most their current adventures. By giving us a familiar cadre bandage Duggan is able to
What Duggan does best with All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #one is not wasting time in establishing that this series volition be all about having fun with the cadre cast we all know and honey. With then much of the Marvel Universe deep in the realm of serious storytelling, especially with Secret Empire taking over, it is a welcome break to get a comic like All-New Guardians of the Milky way. It almost felt like nosotros were getting something fresh even though the Guardians of the Galaxy comics have been more lighthearted since DNA's run.
The enjoyable light-hearted tone that Duggan takes stands out even more thanks to how he keeps the event moving. There is never a wasted moment every bit the story of the Guardians breaking into a vault and then meeting Grandmaster motion with a purpose. Even when we come across the Guardians getting some reanimation at two points in this issue it was done so to add to who these characters are and their dynamic together.
Information technology is the dynamic that they share that is so unique. Duggan is able to drive home through the banter they share together and in various pairings that this group are friends. Unlike the Avengers who have gone downwardly the route of at present being a squad of Earth'south Greatest Heroes, the Guardians of the Galaxy experience like they are friends who are working together for a common goal. Even when the rest of the team don't appreciate Star-Lord'due south approach or banter it is washed in way in which they are giving each other crap rather than being mad at each other.
I particularly enjoyed the back-and-forth between Star-Lord and Drax. Fifty-fifty though I have no idea when Drax decided to become a pacifist Duggan was smart to use Star-Lord get over how silly Drax'south electric current choice is. It was especially enjoyable to see how Drax used his new mentality to add his own brand of humor to things. It fabricated the moments when Drax thought about breaking his pacifist nature even better.
The Grandmaster is a great selection for the start antagonist that the Guardians have to become upwardly confronting. Having the Grandmaster in such a role also helped to go over how the Guardians are more like a group of bounty hunters rather than a normal superhero team like the Avengers. Having the Grandmaster double cross the team and force them to possibly get even more on the Collector's bad side is a great affair for the team to overcome. Information technology will at to the lowest degree give Duggan the opportunity to give the squad more than of a hazard to bear witness how creative they can be when trying to become the job done.
Aaron Kuder delivers artwork that matches the lite-hearted tone that Duggan is shooting for with this Guardians of the Galaxy serial. Kuder mode invokes the cartoonish banter that the Guardians get into with one some other. At the aforementioned fourth dimension Kuder is able to use his style to become all out showing how different the rest of the galaxy is compared to Earth. I especially enjoyed how Kuder drew Grandmaster to have a wicked larger than life look when he was floating over the Guardians.
The Bad: The i thing that would've made All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #ane improve is if we saw more than members on the team than the cadre cast. It did feel like we've been seeing the same core cast of Guardians since the movie came out. Having characters like Mantis or Cosmo on the Milano transport would've helped show how we aren't just going to see the aforementioned core cast. Even if these characters aren't function of the field team they would add an interesting dynamic whenever the Guardians are on the ship or interacting with their buyers. This isn't a deal billow but I would like to see Duggan tap into the Guardians history with other members joining in some capacity.
Overall: All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #1 is a great start to a new serial. Gerry Duggan showcased his potent understanding of the Guardians of the Galaxy past highlighting the team's strong dynamic. That dynamic is furthered by Aaron Kuder's energetic artwork that only helps to add to the must buy factor for any fan of the Guardians of the Milky way.
