Tony Stark is the Marvel’s biggest cinema superstar. Robert Downey Jr will play Stark again in Iron Man 3 this May. Guardians of the Galaxy hits the big screen in 2014. When Guardians of the Galaxy #1 blasts into comic book shops the alien warriors will be joined by the Armored Avenger.

Is there a little marketing involved? Maybe. If any writer can make it work it’s Brian Michael Bendis. The fan favorite writer recruited Wolverine, Spider-Man and Luke Cage for his Avengers. Bendis tells Marvel.com why Stark is a perfect addition to this team.

“It’s more about that he’s a futurist, and he’s Continue reading Iron Man’s Star Trek Fantasies In Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel aims for the stars with Guardians of the Galaxy. Brian Michael Bendis and Steve McNiven launch a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy series this week.

Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora will be joined Iron Man. Bendis tells Marvel.com he’s been digging into the book’s history as he makes the team accesible to old and new audiences.

“We were talking about the characters, what they want and their reliability. I dug up some of their origin stories, particularly Peter Quill’s origin story, which as I tweeted recently I had come across, and decided that it was, for my money, as good as Superman or Spider-man’s origin—it was just no one knew it! It was literally a two-page story in MARVEL PREMIERE about 34 years ago, and I just really really liked it. As the movie was getting closer, and more drafts were coming in, they called me and said “Listen, you were so excited during the Guardians movie calls, we need to get this book back in the public eye. We really want to make it more a part of the Marvel Universe.”
