Guardians of the Galaxy Appreciation 2021

[Shadowcat]

Reading issue 14, and Frigeri’s a treasure. Not as good as Cabal, but he will make a fine replacement. I can’t help but feel like there’s something huge magic related coming. Between the Last Annihilation and Dormammu, the Darkhold, and the Death of Doctor Strange…are they setting up Doom as the new Sorcerer Supreme?

How does everyone feel about the Wendell/Avril Mar-Vell/Jones situation? I’m not overly thrilled, but I’m willing to give Ewing a chance to sell me on it.

[Shadowcat]

That reminds me: who’s the current wielder of the Nega-Bands anyway?

Didn't Rich's brother, the evil Darkhawk have them last? Not sure what happened.

I'd have preferred if it was just Wendell to be honest.

Same here.

I’m glad both are being used, but I wouldn’t mind they split and one get a new identity and abilities. Maybe as a Starhawk?

I thought so, but I haven’t heard anything else about them since then.

I think Starhawk is related to Wendell.

Now I know I'm probably the only that wants this but I'd LOVE Vance Astovik (Justice) to join the guardians. Not only would it be a friend for Rich, but it would be completing the legacy of Vance who was part of the original guardians team.

Yessssss. I’m completely on board for this.

According to Starhawk’s wiki, Wendell is his birth father.

I'll add my vote to wishing it was just Wendell. I have faith in Ewing that he'll do them both justice, but so far I haven't seen Avril do anything Wendell couldn't do better.

I'm also on board with Justice joining the team.

I don’t want to give up on Avril just yet. She’s pretty much a tabula rasa at this point. She just needs a writer interested in finding the potential within her, and going with it.

I just remembered what storyline the upcoming Annihilation crossover reminds me of. LoSH’s the Magic Wars. I hope it’s that good. It’s my favorite LoSH story.

Ewing could do that I could see, but needs to find a way to have both her and Wendell at the same time.

Excellent suggestion. And since Firestar is seemingly MORE powerful in space, a reunion is definitely in order (IMHO):
