I have never read any Gardians of the Galaxy but after I read a really interesting article about the comic book and upcoming movie on IGN, it got me wondering.
WHERE in the world do I begin if I'm going to read the Guardians of the Galaxy comic books? Are there collections I need to read first? What ORDER do I need to read them in!?
Help me here GotG fans!!!
Thank you!!!!!
It kind of depends, as a team they appeared in random titles starting off Marvel Super Heroes #18 Jan. 1969.
Marvel Two-In-One #4–5
Giant Size Defenders #5
Defenders #26–29
Marvel Presents #3–12
Thor Annual #6
The Avengers #167–177
Shortly after that they had a self titled run Guardians of the Galaxy that ran for 62 issues before being cancelled. They also had a 4 part mini series Galactic Guardians.
The 2008 team Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 2) #1 which ran for 25 issues.
The Thanos Imperative 1–6
Avengers Assemble #4 (most recent)
I'm sure the "movie" story will be completely different from the "comic" story, so why bother with the "order". Just read and enjoy.
I have a feeling The Thanos Imperative might have some influence.WarEagle said:
Yeah the movie will obviously introduce the guardians to the marvel movie universe, so as far as fitting in with the current movie canon it will all be explained for us?
I read somewhere that Thanos would possibly be playing a part in it.infymys said:
My main interest in the GoG is specifically for Adam Warlock. He is the main guy in the whole Infinity Gauntlet series. I think Drax is mentioned for about 6 seconds until Thanos crushes him and Hulk has to come to the brief rescue, until Thanos makes Hulk regret that. I am really interested to see them create a new story, but still base it around the Gauntlet and to see how Warlock fits into that plan. If Starlord and Rocket come along for the ride, great. But really that is my interest in a GoG movie.
That would make sense why Thanos was at the end of the Avengers then, if they are putting him in the next group movie and not using him as the villain in Thor like everyone thinks.
It would make since for him to be the villain in thor becuase the Infinity Gauntlet is in Odin's treasure room but if he gets the Infinity Gauntlet Thor wouldn't be able to stop him on his own. in the comics it took almost every character in marvel just to stall him enough for someone to find the chance to take it from him. that being said the cosmic beings in the universe would have to come in the play if the Infinity Gauntlet was to be used and i would like to see how they would make Eternity in live action.kmerritt09 said:

the Annihilation: Conquest series is where the newer group reformed. well worth the read but read Annihilation first. reading thru War of Kings right now and theyre kicking butt
Sadly I have no clue who any of these new Guardians are. Last time I read it Vance was still in charge and carrying Captain America's shield.
