Guardians of The Galaxy Grootfall approaches Teaser Saga 2023

[Frontier]

An interview with Lanzing and Kelly about their new Guardians run and the more I read it the more I don't know what to think about it.

-It's not trying to match the movies in tone (there's that I guess) but I also think the writers are expressing some ideas as being new when in fact they have been done before.

-Like they mentioned Gamora in their run for example will be doing more jokes as something new and unusual for her when she originally was someone who did joke a lot. Drax will be going through a spiritual journey and trying to find his true self when he did just that in the Duggan run while trying to become a pacifist.

-The Guardians breaking apart and trying to build up and become a family again, it's something that's been repeated since the Bendis run really (even Ewing did just that).

-Also they're picking up from Vita's Nebula story, yes the story that never got finished and ended in a cliffhanger.

-Mantis will change personalities a lot because she's channeling from different versions of herself? I dunno.

-Writers are still coy about Groot and Rocket and their whereabouts but they'll appear in the future.

-The writers also flat-out state that there's no plans for Phyla and Moondragon. They straight up admitted to it and it doesn't look like they will expand on the roster so this is most likely staying as an exclusively MCU roster for the remainder of this run.

-Story is dark, the Guardians have trauma and they won't be expressing it in healthy ways. The theme for this comic is a dark one (this already sounds like the beginning of the Cates run! Including the missing Rocket)

-The writers mentioned that they talked with Ewing before doing this, they said that Al's run still happened but they didn't want to continue after it and went into this direction instead.

Yeah, can't say this sounds too engaging to me.

I mean, maybe the execution will be okay, but...

Reading all of this honestly dampens my excitement for the book. It may end up being a good series but doesn't really sound like what I want out of a GOTG series.

Oh boy. Hope the art is good.

They better at least explain what happened to the other guardians, Moondragon, Hercules, Quasar etc. I hope it doesn't get swept under the carpet.

I know what you mean, but not sure if they will. Like, what happened to the original team? Where are they?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I know what you mean, but not sure if they will. Like, what happened to the original team? Where are they?

I assumed they suffered a loss and were seperated.

[kevlon]

I know what you mean, but not sure if they will. Like, what happened to the original team? Where are they?

You mean the original guardians? Aren't they from a future that doesn't exist anymore?

Well apart from Vance Astro who I believe is still knocking around the 616.

Yeah, I mean the original guardians. I never heard that their timeline was wiped out. What happened to it?

Why would Vance leave the Guardians?

[Phoenixx9]

I assumed they suffered a loss and were seperated.

When their series ended, that was the last we saw of them, but they were alive.

We need to see them again in their own book.

Lanzing and Kelly specified that there was an incident after Ewing's run that sets up their book.

Oh, I didn't know about that incident. But they are my favorite Guardians.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Oh, I didn't know about that incident. But they are my favorite Guardians.

It's in the CBR interview they did.

On the run itself I'm neutral to the Guardians but I like the writing team so I'll check it out.

I don't think the timeline has been wiped out. But the originals aren't in the 616 universe. Vance Astro went back in time and convinced young Vance Astrovik not to join the space program. That meeting of the 2 Vance's brought out his latent tk powers and he went on to join the new warriors.

In the 616 DnA GOTG, they found a frozen Vance Astro. Not sure how he got sent back in time and from another universe.

So not sure if they'd ever bring back the originals seeing as they are in another universe and what with the popularity of the modern MCU version. It's shame because I really liked the original group.

Thanks for the info.

I agree the new team is popular, especially with the movies helping out, but they could have a few Guardian books going on, with the Originals set in the 3023 alternate universe. But I know they won't do it.

Yeah, they are my favorites!

The originals are fine, a new villain in Spider-Gwen witnessed them fighting the good fight during a trip across the Multiverse:
