I KIND OF fell into a slump so my rating of this might be due to that fact.Pros:-Angela is a fantastic character-Rocket's catch phrase about murder-the dynamics between the charactersCons:-it was confusing if you didn't also read the Infinity issues that correlate-the art styles changed multiple times-Tony being there still felt weird, especially once him and Gamora hooked upIt was a decent volume, but only because Angela saved it.
The Guardians of the Galaxy just happen to bear witness to something that freaked The Watcher out so much he spoke. Angela is the reason. She looks like a human, but her species is unknown and she is fierce.This Guardians of the Galaxy volume is entitled Angela and for good reason because she arrives with a bang. Angela is something else entirely and it was impressive seeing what she can do. My favorite part of this volume has to Rocket talking down to Tony Stark one of the smartest men on Earth...
I'm giving this 4 stars entirely based on the awesome Bendis-banter!But there's also a lot of stuff wrong with this volume.What I loved was the dialogue. It's just plain fun.Peter, Rocket, and Tony's interactions with everyone kept this volume from sinking like a stone. I just don't think you can beat Bendis's writing when he's on his game. I'm a huge fan! Huge!I also liked Angela's backstory. The idea that there's a planet called Heven out there, and that humans are creatures of myth on it?Very...
I really enjoyed volume 1 of Bendis Guardians of the Galaxy, but by volume 2 it's already losing steam. There's the fallout of Age of Ultron addressed a little with the introduction of Angela and a couple of tie-ins to Infinity. The thing with Angela is that I find it hard to care about her. Her most interesting quality is the legal battle for her copyright that happened in the real world. In this volume, it's mostly: Angela turns up, fight, sit around and talk about what it could mean, fight ri...
This one was so good!It starts with the guardians on the run from Spartan hunters but then they meet Angela and the usual fight happens while Gamora asks Pete the Question how he survived cancerverse and suspects it might be the reason why Thanos is back. The book then ties into the infinity event and I love how it does so naturally. Plus we get to see cool team ups and them rescuing Abigail Brand of Sword and some interesting stuff between Gamora and Iron man.This was a cool volume and like sho...
3.5 stars.
2.5 stars. Yeah, this wasn't great. I enjoyed Tony continuing to work with the team. The chemistry between Tony and Peter is great. They're both sarcastic and prone to making 80's references at the worst times. I can't wait to see them on screen together. Angela showed up!! I love Angela! I really enjoyed her solo series and it was great seeing her interact with Gamora. They actually let Gamora lighten up a little bit here. That was about all the compliments I have for this book. It wasn't very
The ending of Age of Ultron saw time tear and multiple things change as a result, one of them being the introduction of Angela into the Marvel Universe. Who’s Angela, you say? She was a celestial bounty hunter created by Neil Gaiman during his short run on Todd Macfarlane’s Spawn series in the early 90s. She disappeared for several years while Gaiman and Macfarlane fought for who owned the rights to the character with the courts eventually favouring Gaiman. So now she’s back after Gaiman handed
Possible overstatement warning: Marvel Unlimited is the best thing to ever happen to me. I've recently gotten back into comics. Mostly through borrowing graphics novels from the library, because 3 to 4 dollars for single issues = stupid. And graphic novels are pricey too. But a year subscription of Marvel Unlimited at 69 bucks a year, $5.75 a month, is too good to pass up. Plus, my first month was a 99¢ promo. Needless to say, I am now once again a comic book junkie, but this time without all th...
I’m giving this two stars even though I loved parts of it because it’s a prime example of the kind of nonsense that often makes Marvel and DC comics such a frustrating mess.I can live with making moves for marketing purposes. Hell, I can admire something slick done for marketing purposes like launching a new Guardians of the Galaxy comic with one of your most popular writers as part of the lead up to the movie version of it. That makes sense. Even though I'm a comic book geek I knew little about...
I've been on a comic spree lately, trying to catch up on my long comic to read list. The first half of this was amazing. The second half was meh. Didn't care for the art style of a couple issues.
Not bad at all, Brian Michael Bendis. Maybe even more than "popcorn entertainment" as IGN says. Sort of a demeaning blurb, isn't it? Although popcorn is delicious. And the original "once you pop you just can't stop" snack food. Take that Pringles. I like this better than volume 1, which sets the groundwork and jumps around too much for my taste, as any overview attempting to squeeze 10 gallons of sci-fi into a 1 gallon jar will do. Volume 2 settles nicely in to the characters and a larger plot.
I was afraid Angela's cross-companies jumping from Image Comics to Marvel ones was going to be a fuming pile of crap, but character seems just born here and far more interesting from my 90s Spawn reading days.Again, storyline is far better than I used to remember but for the 2 not much good Infinity tie-in issues, and the artists involved are a real dream-team.(view spoiler)[And Tony's bad idea to “climb mount Gamora” (to quote Rocket) was just too much hilarious! (hide spoiler)]["br"]>["br"]>["...
Upping the stakes, threatening the lives of our intrepid losers, putting them in a position where they have to stomp heads back? OK, I'll play along.Pichelli art? Yes please! Ponsor colouring? Give me more.Angela? What the fuck guys? Why is the first entrance moment of a new badass female the classic where you see she is an obvious experienced hand-to-hand combatant with 5 times more armor on her extremities than protecting her vital organs?And why is there supposed to be such a big deal about h...
I'm just so damn frustrated with this volume. Guardians can be a lot of fun. The characters are wonderfully weird, and Bendis is, as usual, great with writing their banter. There's some good action, and people who are totally not impressed with Tony Stark. So far, so good.But.A good part of this volume basically got hijacked by Infinity. Ok, can't begrudge the local writer that one, and the role the Guardians play does make sense in context. Nothing I can be mad about, but it does drag the book
Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2: Angela (Guardians of the Galaxy (2013, Collected Editions) #2), Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Sara Pichelli (Artist), Francesco Francavilla (Artist), Olivier Coipel (Artist), Valerio Schiti (Artist), Kevin Maguire (Artist), Neil Gaiman (Co-Plotter)Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Angela, by Brian Michael Bendis, is a solid continuation of this new Guardians of the Galaxy series. Vol Two of Guardians of the Galaxy series, delivers on humor and action while also
I still see a lot of potential in this series, and I love the artwork, but I was not overwhelmed with this second volume. It focused way more on the character of Angela -- this volume's namesake -- than it did on the Guardians of the Galaxy. This is a rather odd decision by the creative team, considering the team is new and not particularly well developed at this early juncture in the series (this volume collects issues #4-#10). I think the writers got so excited about being able to use the Ange...
Just Another Super-Hero Comic21 December 2015 Well, here I am in Adelaide, the place where I grew up, and I have to say that the minute I stepped off the Overland (the train that runs between Melbourne and Adelaide) I looked around and started counting down the days until I would be back in Melbourne, Okay, it is not as if Adelaide is a bad place, but after living in Melbourne for three years I have to admit that I so much prefer the city lifestyle than the laidback, country town lifestyle that
Source: LibraryWell...that was slightly disappointing. I was really looking forward to reading Angela but I found this one lacked having a real plot. It was great to see all the characters again, especially Groot<3, and I liked the introduction to Angela's character. I will of course be continuing with this series, I just hope the next couple of books have better plots o.O.
This volume is definitely better than the first one; the seven issues it collects trump the four issues and some odd pages the first one has. It also has Neil Gaiman consulting on the introduction of his character Angela into the Marvel Universe.Marvel did a good job of integrating Angela into it superhero mythos by assigning the art duties to Sara Pichelli. I think she did a phenomenal job here. She pretty much proves that she's got what it takes to do mainstream Marvel book.However, the overal...
