Would you say that your take on the Guardians of the Galaxy is more in line with the Bendis version that most recently appeared, or more like the Abnett and Lanning version of the team?

Also, do you intend to bring in any of the former members of the team?

Well, I'm starting with the current team...but the make-up is going to change as the story unpacks. As for bringing in former Guardians, I have to be really careful about how I answer, but...yes. Who interests you the most? By issue 3 (guest starring Frazer Irving) the possibilities will be pretty clear...



Who interests you the most?

Phyla Vell and Moondragon, personally. And my friend will murder me if I don't also say Adam Warlock.



Some unexpected faces are going to turn up in some unexpected places. Try the first arc. I have to leave some surprises.

Hello! Love your work. Any plans for everyone's favorite Celestial Madonna, Mantis? And thoughts on Peter's beard as a member of the team?

Gerry Duggan

As a guy with a beard, I am not sure I can come out against another beard?

Thanks for the kind words. I have some notes on Mantis...


I'm really hoping Darkhawk joins the team. We know the Fraternity of Raptors is gonna be involved, and I want to see Darkhawk involved in more space stuff.

Gerry Duggan

The lie the Raptors told Darkhawk now seems to be true. Right? they told him "we're good guys. space cops!" right? Well, while the Nova Corps have been diminished - they have increased in stature. One of my favorite parts of the arson I'm committing out in space - is this thread. If we can pull off some of these surprises - I will be very very happy. The Raptor angle really comes to a head in the second arc.

I wonder if Legacy will expand the cosmic line? I noticed ANGOTG had a new email address in it - galactic@marvel.com.
