Jaw dropping indeed!

Iron man? Really?

I really hope those aren't suits that'll be influencing their appearance in the movie.

It's nice. very nice, but "Jaw-dropping"? "Stunning"? I don't think so.

Iron Man on the team.., meh. His suit design is sh!t. Why does Treebeard have "punch-lights" tacked all over his body?

@SageMode Hate to be that guy, but I think everything they release from GotG right now is to prepare audience for what's to come in the movie. After all, they still need to convince a [frick]load of people that this movie will be worth it.

Bland sci-fi character design, go go!

The image above illustrates a Drax that might be "fun-lovin'?" :-P This will be a sequel to Serenity mashed up with Avengers jive('cause of the receipts) and I'm hoping for that plus a wee bit more. Pratt is a deserved/funnier version of Mal, but without the Plissken-like betrayal by his own government, we'll get the, well we don't really know how they'll play it cinematically, but from the above image, cut the Iron Man armor. Gamora in the same suit as Star-Lord's makes sense, but the time of us '70's comic lovers has come and gone(despite DOFP); Pratt will not be a Dredd look-a-like flying thru the cosmos.

ARRGH!!! Go f*ck yourselves, Bendis, Mcniven and Marvel!! Why? WHY?! Why did Marvel give Bendis this series? Why they didnt give it to Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning since the movie is going to be based on their amazing run? What the hell is Iron Man doing there? he didnt even justified his pressence in the team! And what, in name of God, what the F*CK was wrong with Pete's sexy helmet?! WHAT?!!!! AAAAARRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH! At what point did he become blonde and start having a beiber haircut!!!! Why you have to sh*t in every f*cking thing you touch, Bendis?!! WHY??!!!

And Groot looks like something that will appear in a new version of The little shop of horrors!!

parkerray - 3/30/2013, 11:59 PM
Hmm, at least Wolverine and Spider-Man are not on the cover.

But I agree Groot is kinda giving off a sad Christmas tree from Charlie Brown vibe.

This further proves how shit that Iron Man helmet looks

Iron Man should've had a design similar to the space suit in Iron Man 3

I never want RDJ to grace the screen with the above illustrated armor.., ever. It's a waste of his time and he is contractually obligated to Disney/Marvel/Paramount for a grand sum of money.

@OrganizedChaos

That's a great design for Stark's space suit!

Baskin Robbins milkshake syrup is the same thing used for sliming down prosthetics out there in Hollywood.., you know?, the land where even the overweight balding types have pedicures, tan and get brazilians. Why? Oh wait, what am I talking about: reality television producers.., nevermind sorry. Why do they all look like the Governor's right hand man? Not Milton.

I hate that Iron Man is in this group. You don't have to put an Avenger in everything to make it successful.
Logan5
Logan5 - 3/31/2013, 4:17 AM
^^ Isn't it though? It's like they're all looking at a star affixed a top a Christmas tree operating as a hood ornament that has yet to have the power button turned on.., yes power button & GOTG in the same sentence.
Odin
Odin - 3/31/2013, 4:55 AM
That is bretty good cover.

Logan5 - 3/31/2013, 5:06 AM
^^ What about his ion-phased intergalactic sub-orbital space suit? Will that not be in the catalog this fall? :-P

Stunning? Really? I think that looks like crap. It looks like a 13 year old drew that... In the 70s

I just love how iron mans helmet looks like a cheap knock off of Starlords cool helmet, lame. I don't understand why they think everyone has to see Starlords human face for them to want to buy the book, plus his costume looked nothing like that in the first issue they just released. Why make all these crappy costumes for the guy when the one from the 08 run was so perfect.

laughterman26 - 3/31/2013, 6:19 AM
i just want their original costumes back, except drax. he looks sick.

Star Lord needs a mask. That's it.

Tevii is tipping top heavy.., get some towels please.., hurry!! If I could draw like that @13.., I'd..........., be Matthew McCaughnahy(?).

is it just me or does Drax look a lil Hulkish in the face?

Worst designs ever.

Unmake mine Marvel
