Guardians of the Galaxy #20

Tied into Marvel's 2014 Original Sin crossover, this issue brings the full Guardians roster together in striking fashion — Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Gamora tumble together against the glowing curve of Earth, rendered with terrific energy by cover penciler Ed McGuinness and inker Mark Farmer. The team's chaotic freefall framed against the planet makes for a genuinely compelling image, equal parts cosmic spectacle and team-book camaraderie. With Brian Michael Bendis at the helm and art duties shared by McGuinness and Valerio Schiti, this is a confident chapter in one of Marvel's most entertaining team books of the era.
