About this Collection

This volume collects issues #8-12 of the 2008 'Guardians of the Galaxy' series, bridging directly into Marvel's 'War of Kings' crossover event. As the cosmic landscape shifts, Star-Lord's team finds itself caught between the Kree and Shi'ar empires, with Adam Warlock's resurrection and the threat of the Universal Church of Truth looming large. The collection sets the stage for the Guardians' pivotal role in the intergalactic conflict that follows.

In "No Future," Star-Lord faces a dire threat inside the Negative Zone Prison, besieged by Blastaar and his savage forces. With time running out, Rocket Raccoon and the newly formed Guardians race to mount a rescue that could change everything. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with dynamic art by Brad Walker and Carlos Magno, and a striking cover by Clint Langley, this 2009 issue delivers high-stakes tension and the unmistakable energy of Marvel’s space-faring misfits.
