[CBR News]

New York, NY-May 21st, 2015- The Marvel Universe has been destroyed. The galaxy may be gone. But there are still places that need defending. Places that need Guardians. Today, Marvel is pleased to preset your first look at GUARDIANS OF KNOWHERE #1 - the explosive new Secret Wars series from blockbuster creators Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato! High above Battleworld floats the head of a dead Celestial, miraculously saved in the collapse of a universe. Now orbiting the strange, patchwork planet as its solitary moon, Knowhere survives as a colony brimming with convicts and criminals. Yet amid this vile hive of killers, thieves and thugs - there is hope. People who will stand and defend those who cannot defend themselves - the Guardians of Knowhere! But there is a new power rising inside this head of a dead god. Suspended thousands of miles above Battleworld's surface, a dangerous new foe stalks the alleys and corridors of this floating fortress. A villain with their crosshairs aimed squarely at the Guardians of Knowhere! Who is this new foe and what are they after? No one knows! One thing is for certain - not everyone will walk out of Knowhere unscathed. Don't miss the pulse-pounding first issue when GUARDIANS OF KNOWHERE #1 lands in comic shops and on digital devices this June!

Very pretty art!

[prigmutton]

Huh; how bout that variant. Has the name "Gwenom" been coined yet?

[Drakeon]

I dropped Guardians cause of how bad Bendis has been on it but this looks great. Im very cautious though.

I thought Rocket died. Or are these carbon copies? It would explain why Angela is back to her old outfit.

All of Battleworld is alternate universe versions from the multiverse.

Yeah, I know that, but since Gamora is in her BW form, Bendis seems to be hinting that these are the same from 616.

Hes just using a similar Gamora. The 616 Gamora died as shown.

[Nomads1]

I would celebrate that Mantis seems to be back, however, I'm sure Bendis will butcher her... One way, or another....

Peace

I wouldn't rule them out because we don't know if Doom restored them or not.

I'd say I'm interested in this series, although Star-Lord and Groot look to be missing, but I'm glad to see Drax, Rocket, Manta, Gamora with Black Vortex enhancements, Angela, and Venom. I can't wait to see what Bendis is up to in this series, and how the head of Knowhere got to Battleworld.

Not to mention Deodato's art looks fantastic as always.

Gwenom...

That's pretty awesome.

I'm sure he can't do worse of what DnA have done with the character.

OH, I'm SURE he CAN!

That Gwenom variant reminds me so much of Zetsu from Naruto. Rob Guillory did an awesome job with that cover.
If the Gwenom variant isn't too expensive, I might buy this. The interior art looks good too. I like the way Rocket is designed.
