Al Ewing and Juann Cabal taking over Guardians of the Galaxy in January
Announced at Marvel's Next Big Thing panel at NYCC on Friday that Don Cates is leaving the book, but Al Ewing is coming on in. I am super-hyped for this, as Ewing's cosmic and team books are my favourite kind of Ewing books. I've also liked Cabal's past work, so seems like a winning combo all around!
Some things of note:
[LIST][*]Ewing said at the panel that the full team is larger than what's on the cover to the first issue[*]He also confirmed that's Marvel Boy on the cover, between Moondragon and Richard Rider in the background[*]Apparently going to be lots and lots of world-building. Ewing's taking control of space![*]Picking up from the ending to Avengers: No Road Home, the reborn Olympian gods will be appearing here as the new team's first threat. Hercules might be on the roster as well then?[/LIST]

The rule of law is dead. And amidst the chaos, the Gods of Olympus have returned -- harbingers of a new age of war, reborn to burn their mark on the stars themselves. Someone has to guard the galaxy - but who will accept the mission? And will they survive it? Al Ewing (IMMORTAL HULK) and Juann Cabal (FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN) bring you in on the ground floor of a whole Marvel Universe of action and suspense!
