Guardians of the Galaxy #14 features three stories that might make you wish for three Guardians books and inspire sequel dreams for the movie that isn’t even out yet.
The double-sized anniversary issue marks the 100th issue starring the cosmic Avengers.

Flash Thompson aka Agent Venom is the new envoy from the Avengers. Drax takes Flash on a rite of passage in a seedy galactic underbelly that Greedo or Han Solo would feel right at home in. I’m intrigued at how the aliens react to seeing the earth man bonded to the infamous symbiote. Continue reading GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #14 Review

Spinning out of All-New X-Men, the younger and more innocent original Scott Summers is charting out a new course for himself in Cyclops #1 by Greg Rucka. The young Scott learned his father was alive in The Trial of Jean Grey. Now Cyclops will join Corsair and Starjammers in outer space adventures while catching up on long-lost father/son time.

Happy Earth Day.

Today is day to remember the planet we call home and demonstrate support for environmental protection.

 

On this Earth Day I can’t help but think of Storm of the X-Men. The weather controlling mutant isn’t just a woman who can summon storms, lighting and icy winds. Ororo’s mutation is tied to the Earth itself. Continue reading HAPPY EARTH DAY
