About the series
In the wake of the cosmic event "Annihilation," writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning redefined Marvel's cosmic corner with this 2008–2010 series. Assembling a team of interstellar misfits including Rocket Raccoon, they launched the Guardians of the Galaxy into a new era of high-stakes, galaxy-spanning adventures. Anchored by the dynamic artwork of Brad Walker, Paul Pelletier, and Wes Craig, the series established the modern tone and team dynamic that would later inspire the blockbuster films. A cornerstone of Marvel's cosmic renaissance, these 25 issues remain essential reading for fans of space opera and underdog heroes.
