Marvel Comics has been dropping teases about the new Guardians of the Galaxy line-up all week, but we now have the full reveal to share with you. Al Ewing will usher in a new age of cosmic storytelling starting this April with a double-sized issue #175 (#13), and while we'll see the return of core members like Star-Lord, Rocket, and Gamora, there's some shocking new additions.
Those include Quasar, Nova, the Super-Skrull, Wiccan, Hulkling...and Doctor Doom!
Now deputized by the Galactic Council, the Guardians need new members to tackle their deadliest threats yet. One of Marvel's premiere cosmic crusaders, Wendell Vaughn, the original Quasar, makes his long-awaited return to answer the call. But what could possibly cause the maniacal Doctor Doom to join their ranks? With art by Juan Frigeri (Ghost Rider), Ewing is ready to looks set to take the Guardians where no Guardian has gone before.
"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. What's Doctor Doom doing here...and why? There's only one way to find out," Ewing teased.
The full list of members includes Hulkling Star-Lord, Nova (Richard Rider), Groot, Gamora, Wiccan, Quasar (Avril Kincaid), Rocket Raccoon, Doctor Doom, Super-Skrull, Moondragon, Drax the Destroyer, Noh-Varr, Mantis, Phyla-Vell, Hercules, and Quasar (Wendell Vaughn).
