I stopped reading comics except Marvel Unlimited a few months back. Has there been any developments on bringing back Rich, the real Nova, to the MU.

Abnett's writing cosmic stories again with Guardians of Infinity so there's at least hope. Bendis did everything he could to screw up what DNA established, so we'll see how Abnett responds. So far it's a good read, but I expected that.

So what's the status with some of the empires? I know the Kree had their empire destroyed in some forgettable event.

Also rumors are being spread that Death in the MCU is also Hela to try to avoid confusion again just a rumor.

Both the Kree and Skrull empires were destroyed. The Shi'ar are presumably still doing well, haven't seen them since Infinity.

Galactus was thwarted from eating Earth by Aunt May becoming his herald and Franklin Richards offering him Hostess snack cakes. http://majorspoilers.com/2011/12/04/...-january-1984/

Reviews on Guardians of the Galaxy Infinity.

So heres my thoughts on issues one through three.
Once again Abnett does it again in reminding us he knows these characters and what their capable of beyond just one liners and bloodlust. Drax the analysis, Rocket the strategist and Groot well being Groot. The comics do great job Paralal the classic and new Guardians. Were also introduced to a new/retcon set of Guardians dub The Guardians of the Galaxy 1000. Unfortunately their character given very little in terms of backstory.

Than theirs the backup stories each one focusing on the pair of Guardians which sadly is underutilized to either retcon past history or just pure fluff. The backups could have been used to delve into the Guardians 1000 further. But thats not the case, so my overall verdict is if you want to get away from the Guardians of Earth look up Guardians of Infinity.

I loved the costume designs Capullo did for Wendell Vaughn and the issues that were part of Operation Galactic Storm and Infinity War. To me, Quasar is an EXCELLENT candidate for the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Happy Birthday Greg! That was my first real exposure to Greg's art. Some real good stuff in that series. Now he's doing amazing things at DC

Marvel Premiere #1 (1972) was the first solo outing for Warlock--not only that, but it was the first time he had an actual name! Created by Kirby and Lee in Fantastic Four #66, Warlock was previous known as Him. Since The Power of HIM didn't seem like a good title for a comic, Roy Thomas re-christened the character as Adam Warlock.

To me, the cover to Marvel Premiere #1 by Gil Kane, is irresistible. Warlock's new costume is really nifty and you get all tingly looking at the energy swarming around him. Plus, he's got a suntan that makes George Hamilton envious! Hulk and Thor on the cover made this a must have issue. Too bad they only appeared in flashbacks--and those were recaps of stories previously published!

Thomas and Kane collaborated on Marvel Premiere #1-2, which led into the Power of Warlock series. Thomas left POW #3, but Kane continued on as artist for a few issues. Kane would produce most of the covers for the short life (eight issues) of this series.
