I don't think the movies are dead, per se...I think we'll get one more GOTG with Quill, Gamora, etc. at some point. Anything beyond that, though, I'm skeptical.
And I'm sure this series has been in development long before the Gunn situation happened...comics don't work fast enough to be that reactionary.

Last members have been confirmed as Groot, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and Starlord!
Not that I'm looking for a nit to pick but...I would have loved for Monica Rambeau to be a part of this team as a third female. I loved her in The Ultimates. I'm 90% on board.
Some of the cosmic women characters they could have used besides Singularity, Mantis and Spectrum...

Sigh...one of these days, somebody is going to put my beloved Torgo on the team...

Depending on how this plays out...this could be good. Donny has been killing it lately.
I also think that the mix of the Abnett-Lanning Guardians (Star-Lord, Groot, Moondragon, Phyla-Vell and Adam Warlock) mixed with the Annihilators (Silver Surfer, Gladiator and Beta Ray Bill). I also like the fact that Nova and Darkhawk were apart of the Annihilation sagas but never added to the Guardians after seems to be finally rectifying the past slight or missed opportunity. And, of course, Cosmic Ghost Rider, whom Donny created and has a hit with would be a part of the lineup.
I think that this is a book that going to go back to the original Guardians concept in the Abentt-Lanning run and less of the lovable rogues that the Guardians have been. They have a lot of power on this team (Groot, Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Nova, Darkhawk, Phyla-Vell and Cosmic Ghost Rider) so this could be an epic run.
I also don't really see Gladiator (who leads the Shi'ar Empire) being able to provide too much time to the team. If he doesn't stay long I would replace him with Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) or Genis-Vell. Spectrum and Blue Marvel would also make nice additions.
So, that leaves Gamora or Drax as the Fallen Guardian. Since Rocket is joining the Avengers in Avengers: No Road Home, at least for this story.
Finally an interesting GotG team again.
Would've prefered to have Quill and Groot off the team and Mantis on it, but I'll take what I can get.
