I picked up a copy of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL 1: COSMIC AVENGERS because this is the series I'm told leads to Angela, my precious space lesbian queen. What I got can be summed up in Rocket's repeated line of "Blam! Murdered you!"

While nothing super spectacular happened, reading GUARDIANS was a grand space romp and rollick. Lots of explosions, political intrigue, co-captains of the friendship ship, and badassery. Surprising exactly no one I'm sure, Meredith Quill (Peter Quill's mama, who reminds me of Star Trek TOS's Amanda in a less kind universe), Gamora, & Groot were my favorites, though Tony Stark & Rocket illicit cheers of delight too. Freja also makes an appearance, which tickled me pink all around.

Overall, I liked the series certainly, but I hope the liking continues to the next volume. Read this if you want a straight up superhero space adventure.
