Timothy Green II

In the lead up to the Annihilation: Conquest crossover event we get a mix of the kinds of silly, overly serious nonsense reserved for younger readers willing to buy into comic machismo but you also get issues of Starlord. I'll admit, I'm only reading these in anticipation of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie but to that effect the Starlord issues are highly entertaining. Much of their pull comes from having a set of eclectic characters trying to work together in not so obvious ways. show more The fact that one of them doesn't work out so well just goes to show how dedicated the writers are to character driven action despite the greater plot being more or less contrived. So I guess I recommend this collection but only for the Starlord limited series. show less

These are good, fun comics. I very much enjoyed the Quasar series, with shows a nice, mature lesbian relationship, and the Starlord comics are the very earliest appearance of what would become the Guardians of Galaxy that we see in the movies.

Really had a lot of fun with this series. Having Bug included was definitely a bonus. I'm a huge Micronauts fan. The art was great and I loved reading about all these characters I had either not read much about or only barely heard of.
