Revealed at the New York Comic Con today, next February will see the release of Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1 from the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers) and Steve McNiven (Old Man Logan). The first issue will then follow in March. The roster is the same of that of James Gunn's planned adaptation (Starlord, Groot, Rocket Racoon, Drax, Gamora), but with one notable addition - Iron Man. February will also see the launch of a brand new Nova series by Jeph Loeb (Avengers: X-Sanction) and Ed McGuinness (Superman/Batman). The teenage Sam Alexander from Avengers Vs. X-Men will be behind the mask.

Why does Gamora look like a generic Mass Effect character?

Gottdammit bendis you failed me...I'm so sick and tired of bendis and Jeph Loebs shit. Bendis: Why is ironman on Gotg?! Why does everyone always have to have an arc reactor on them?! Why is Gamora in a spacesuit?! How is star lord alive?! How does star lord get blonde hair?! I wanna drop All new x men so bad, but my love for them...go [frick] yourself bendis.

Jeph Loeb: HE SUCKS AT EVERYTHING HE DOES IN LIFE. And if peter is alive, how come richard rider isn't alive?! Gotg and Nova returns, and we get two of the worst writers in history to write them. Damn shame, smh.

for GOTG, Groot's design as well as Starlord's bother me. Where is his helmet? Why the hell is Iron Man there? I was excited about this series, but not anymore >:(

Bendis fails. The art looks good and I'll give it a chance.. but I don't have high hopes after seeing Iron Man.

I'll be interested to see where Marvel goes with these series. I'll definitely be giving them a whirl for the first few arcs

This new Nova series is gonna suck. The art sucks Loeb sucks, the new Nova sucks. Bring back Rider. I just recently fell in love with GOTG and feel its one of the most underrated comic book arcs ever. Having said that this new series already looks dumb. Why is Iron Man on the team? Where is Star Lord's hat/helmet? And why are there arc reactors on a TREE? Both of these wreak of fail.

It's great that Nova is getting his own comic book series again. Still don't like the idea of Jeph Loeb being the writer of the Nova comics. I hope does a good job writing the comics.

I doubt Iron Man will be a permanent team member this is probably a guest appearance. Because it wouldn't make much sense otherwise...

I'm very skeptic of this new Guardians series. As a die-hard GOTG fan, issues 1-25 and the Thanos Imperative were the cream of the crop. I'm not sure if this new series can top that.

JohnTom88 - 10/13/2012, 7:41 PM
Nova is fine. The franchise is expanding like Green Lantern. Ok between kid Nova and the gun-toting Green Lantern who do you choose?

But GOTG just reeks stupidity and limited imagination from the guy named Bendis.

UUUUUUGH.

This is the LAST STRAW. I was forced to create an account after seeing this.

I love ART. I love COMICS. But Marvel is straight up BLOWING IT.

This is my opinion only, but I feel Japanese anime has planted a seed of artistic destruction in western comics. DC seems to have not taken the bait quite as strong as our beloved Marvel. Of course Disney has come on board and has dumped out Super Hero Squad upon the unsuspecting children coming into the world who will now know this as a representation of classic characters. In an article upon first buying Marvel, Disney made it priority number ONE to "educate" the non-comic public of lesser known characters so we get Squad, the horrible anime cartoons, this Hulk show, and the super kiddy Spider-Man cartoon.

Don't get me wrong, I am down for a reboot, as soft or hard as they wanna do, with Marvel NOW!, but this is CLEARLY THE WRONG DIRECTION.

MARVEL, DISNEY......KEEP SIGHT OF THE ART IN THESE BOOKS.

These are not only for kids. Even then, kids grow up and appreciate the books and stories that don't dumb them down and talk down to them.

Nova? Kid Avengers? COME ON. This is going too far down the drain.

Bring the integrity and ART back to this dying (by your own sword) art form.

Maybe kid nova will become an adult when he morphs..., I mean puts on the helmet.... Lol

If the movie was coming out next year I'd say they were setting up nova to be in it, but that's still 2 yrs away...
