Guardians of the Galaxy #2

This 2014 Marvel collection brings together the cosmic misfits of the Guardians of the Galaxy in a volume subtitled Angela, and Sara Pichelli's cover art makes an immediate impression — a radiant, golden-haired Angela dominates the center in a blaze of light, while Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax fan out around her in a dynamic ensemble that feels both welcoming and ready for a fight. Pichelli's linework gives each character a distinct personality even in a single glance, capturing the team's mix of swagger and muscle. A New York Times Best Seller badge on the cover confirms this run had already won over readers well before you even crack the spine.
