Guardians of the Galaxy: Best Story Ever #[nn]
This collection brings together the complete 'Best Story Ever' arc from Marvel's 2015 Guardians of the Galaxy series, featuring the cosmic team in a time-twisting adventure that spans the history of the Marvel Universe. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Valerio Schiti, the story sees Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot encounter a mysterious figure who claims to have the greatest tale ever told—one that involves Thanos, the Eternals, and the very fabric of reality. The volume includes issues #1-5 of the series, along with the Guardians of the Galaxy: Best Story Ever #1 one-shot, and spotlights key cosmic characters like Moondragon, Mantis, and the Living Tribunal.
In "Best Story Ever...", Joe Caramagna and Adam Archer deliver a high-stakes space adventure where Blackjack O'Hare boards a silent cargo ship, only to stumble into a clash between Rocket and the captive Princess Lynx. As tensions flare and the crew is captured, Groot’s unexpected rescue sets the trio on a chaotic escape—leading to a surprising choice when Rocket decides to let Lynx go and instead target Blackjack’s crown. Tim Seeley’s dynamic cover captures the moment’s intensity, perfectly framing the issue’s blend of action and reluctant alliance.
