Guardians of the Galaxy by Donny Cates #[nn]
In "The Final Gauntlet One of Six," Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw launch a high-stakes cosmic showdown as Eros assembles a diverse roster of intergalactic heroes—excluding the Avengers—to confront a chilling message from Thanos. When the Black Order arrives to claim Thanos’s body, the heroes are torn apart by a sudden rift in space, leaving Quill and Grout to rally the survivors and declare their allegiance to the Guardians of the Galaxy. David Marquez’s striking cover captures the moment’s urgency, while the team’s bold new identity sets the stage for what’s to come.
