Old Man Quill #2

A weathered, white-haired Peter Quill strides forward with twin pistols in hand, his battered red duster and chest-piece marking him as a Star-Lord who's seen far better days — flanked by an aged Drax and a green-skinned woman with a sword, while Rocket Raccoon and fallen heroes including Spider-Man and Captain America's shield litter the ground behind them. John Tyler Christopher's cover sets a grim, determined tone for this 2019 "Old Man Quill" tale, with the Guardians of the Galaxy walking over what looks like the wreckage of a broken Marvel universe. Ethan Sacks and Robert Gill's series continues with "In the Court of the Crimson King," and this cover alone makes a compelling case for what a future stripped of hope — but not grit — might look like.
