i'm like a kid right now...and the last time I read their monthly title in the 90s I really was a kid

Glad Dan Abnett is on board and those Alex Ross covers are just beautiful. One of my favorite Guardians cover was actually done by Alex in Paradise X

Is that 70's Star-Lord on the Guardians 3000 #3 cover?

Why are these the "first and second original Marvel prose novels"? What about the other novels Marvel's put out? Is it because those novels came out through other publishers?

Oooooh, I'm just glad to see Charlie-27 and the original Yondu. Good times

Yes, it appears that these are the first "original" books actually published by Marvel. Most of the other prose books were published by the likes of Pocket, Del Rey, Bantam and Berkley. Marvel has published other prose novels before, they were just always adaptions/novelizations of other works, not original stories.

While I can appreciate it, I'm not a huge fan of this art style (too Joe Mad looking for me ... though I realize I may have to dodge tomatoes and lettuce for saying that ), but that one preview image of Charlie-27 busting through with the girl in his arms looks fantastic!

This book will remain on my pull for as long as it is published. I just hope Marvel gives it plenty of time and not just 8 or 12 issues.

EDIT - And yes, I agree, nice to see the original guys kicking it. Especially the Yondu that is Yondu

As a kid who loved the original Guardians, I just could not get into the Valentino run of Guardians when I first read it (when it first came out), but I have been having the urge, this itching in the back of my head, to go back and try it once more to see what it was that I didn't like ... why I didn't enjoy it. To see if my 50 year old self could enjoy what my 25 year old self could not.
