Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy

Launching in the wake of the blockbuster film, Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy (2015–2017) was a 23-issue series that adapted the team's cinematic adventures for a younger, all-ages audience. Published by Marvel, this run streamlined the cosmic cast—Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot—into fast-paced, accessible stories that resonated with new readers. Though often overlooked by longtime fans, the series served as a vital entry point, proving that the Guardians' quirky, high-stakes brand of heroics could thrive beyond the movie screen.
