There's no room on my pull list for this but that art is sweeeeeeet!

[UltimateTy]

8 covers wow

The art does look good though

[sifighter]

All the art, both Interior and Covers, look amazing; Paco Medina is just a really good interior artist whenever I see it and I can't wait to see more of this. As for the Variants, have to say my favorites are Mahmud Asrar's and Sara Pichelli's.

[Alvarez]

Looks pretty sweet!

Awesome artwork by Medina!

Thank goodness Pete is FINALLY out of that "trying really,REALLY-hard to look cool" blue lightning uniform.
The movie look isn't my absolute favorite costume for him but it's pretty darn close and it does successfully promote that sly space-rogue personality they got going for him now far better then the "Prettiest Prince of the Galaxy" look he was sporting all last year.

I'll definitely be giving this book a chance. I haven't enjoyed BMB's Portrayal of Quill over in the main series so here's hoping Humphries' take is more like James Gunn's movie version in personality as well as in appearance. Neither will match the Annihilation version I'm sure but I'm just happy to have an alternative really.

Although, I'm keeping my expectations realistic because this is what...the 1000th Peter Quill gets captured story in the last year?
Geez, c'mon guys try something new will ya'? "He's the Star-Lord!!! Respect Him!"

Paco Medina is a great artist, but, unfortunately, I'll keep my distance from this. Don't care much for the "loser with daddy issues" Bendis version that they seem to be going with now, and that costume is an eye-sore (Yes, even the previous none is an improvemente in my eyes). I wish it well, though.

Peace

The movie costume really does not work for the comics.

[King Of All Nerds]

This looks great.

[Mathieu B]

Well, I like the blue and yellow outfit :P

And that Sara Pichelli cover is amazing! Unfortunately, even with Medina doing the art I'll avoid this because Humphries is writing it (but I might get the trade if the reviews are great).

[rx-78-2]

Bendis still gets hate even when he's not doing the writing. lol

A true sign he has bugnled things up lol

Years ago I would have got this out of blind loyalty to the series, no question. Really on the fence with this one.

[Deathlok2011]

The BLUE costume is the best! MOVIE costume blows!

[Daeron]

At least the generic boy band look is gone.

[Alvarez]

The BLUE costume is the best!

I agree.

[THANOSRULES]

We dont even know if it will have the feel of Bendis version...probably will , but maybe not.

It looks solid..ill be dropping moon knight and picking this up..probably regret it though.

Hope the cancerverse stuff pans out ..after sticking with marvel for awhile id hate to drop marvel titles because of it.
