Not so much essential reads as preludes to thr Annihilation event, but the Adam Warlock storylines contained are worth reading. The Captain Marvel ones are pretty weak.
This is a huge TPB with over 400 pages of classic Marvel stories. Taking place shortly after "The Death of Captain Mar-Vel", this TPB includes Warlock (1998) 1-4, Captain Marvel (2000) 4-6 & 15-16, Infinity Abyss 1-6 and She-Hulk (2004) 7-8.Filled with plenty of action, the story telling is what won me over. Reading this was a wonderful blast from the past and exactly what I remember comics being and why I loved them so.The artwork is great, colorful and expressive, it added so much to the story...
Less Guardians of the Galaxy on the road to Annihilation and more like the Infinity Watch rides again (!), the contents of this cosmic compilation trace some adventures of the members of the erstwhile Watch (which I suppose in some ways kinda sorta resembles a proto-Guardians of the Galaxy, mebbe...well, if you squint, and look! there's Gamora and Drax!) prior to the events of the Annihilation Wave which then causes Peter Quill to reboot or pre-boot the group we know as the Guardians of the Gala...
Public library copy. An old mix of various cosmic titled comic books published into an enormous book for the sake of selling based on the success of Guardians of the Galaxy movie. The cover is misleading, Drax looks nothing like that inside the book. The stories are a mix bag. I didn't care for the Adam Warlock stuff. The Jim Stsrkin work is nice to look at, but it seems like he tells the same Thanos story over and over. I'd already previously read Peter David's Captain Marvel and Dan Scott's Sh...
It was just a little too old school for me but overall it was good. It’s good to know who Adam finally is!! And to see the guardians before they were the guardians.
Sometimes I wish you could give half stars because this really deserved a 2.5. This was an interesting read but probably not what fans of the movies are looking for. As the subtitle states, this volume collects a number of Marvel issues from the late 90's, all cosmically themed, and leading towards the big multi-volume Annhilation event. The Guardians don't appear, just Drax and Gamora, looking VERY different from their later appearances. This book collects a 4-issue series about Adam Warlock a
This was HUGE. 17 comics plus some snippets from a couple other issues. The first part of the title didn't lie. Every issue had the Guardians of the Galaxy involved. The second part of the title is where we may be stretch the truth a bit to garner sales. I haven't read all of the Annihilation comics, but I am failing to see any connection with the ones I have read so far.Either way though it was a fun romp through the Marvel Cosmic. The Infinity Aybss was good, it was interesting reading about T...
3 stars is higher then it deserves, I'm glad that Marvel eventually handed these characters over to someone who had a vision beyond cheap laughs and recycled plots. Starlin's infinity abyss story is the worst he did, its included to tie some threads together although we'd be better off without it. the art throughout is pretty good, its the writing that drags the rating down.
