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.

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
