Guardians of the Galaxy #19

Thanos looms massive and menacing while Star-Lord charges forward guns blazing and Rocket Raccoon snarls at their feet — Arthur Adams delivers a cover packed with cosmic energy across a battlefield strewn with alien skulls. This is Brian Michael Bendis' send-off issue on Guardians of the Galaxy, and the "Big-Time Bye-Bye Blowout" badge on the cover signals that Marvel pulled out all the stops, assembling a remarkable roster of artists including Valerio Schiti, Phil Noto, Ed McGuinness, Sara Pichelli, and more. For fans who followed Bendis' run on this title, 2017's issue #19 makes for a genuinely satisfying celebration of everything that made this era of cosmic Marvel so much fun.
