Guardians of the Galaxy by Donny Cates #[nn]

In "The Final Gauntlet One of Six," Eros brings together a scattered group of cosmic heroes to confront a haunting message from Thanos—only for the Black Order to arrive, tearing through space and scattering the gathered heroes. Quill and Grout barely escape the rift, rescuing a handful of allies before facing the Nova Corps, who demand answers as the rescued heroes are declared Guardians of the Galaxy.

In "The Final Gauntlet Two of Six," the Black Order hunts for Thanos’s head while the Guardians of the Galaxy fracture over whether to save Gamora. Tensions explode when Cosmic Ghost Rider abandons the team, drawn instead to the Dark Guardians—a new faction sworn to her destruction.

In the depths of the Negative Zone, the Black Order presses on in their hunt for Thanos’s head, while the Dark Guardians clash with Nova in a desperate bid to capture Gamora. Though Star-Lord hesitates, the Guardians of the Galaxy make their choice—racing to save Gamora, no matter the cost.

In "Advent Horizon," Adam Warlock crashes into a temple on a distant world where the Druff revere a god they’ve never seen. When he confronts the entity, he uncovers its true nature and dismantles its hold—then steps into its place, becoming a guiding force for the people he’s saved.
