This issue is a great read simply because it shows how tight the story telling is in the career of the GOTG at this juncture. Not only did the first story arc (which is really 2 arcs - one was with the Stark and the other Captain America's shield), conclude but there are so many interwoven threads with sub plots and development that they just continue seamlessly into this tale so that if you jump on here, there will need to be a few moments for you to ponder and catch up on
However, let's just jump in, shall we?
What is important for us all to know is by the end of the last story, basically the GOTG have seized the fabled shield of Captain America inspite of them generally losing out in combat to their opponents a group named FORCE simply because FORCE thought the shield to have special powers rather than a symbol of hope for the free people to rally behind
When this issue opens, we see some of the injured Guardians being treated while others explore the new ship which is also their new home. Unfortunately, Mephisto has decided to have a daughter. Who knows how he managed it? And with whom? And why? But she decided to take a potshot at the GOTG and thanks to the generally low power levels of all the GOTG, she almost succeeded before she encounters Stakar aka Starhawk and his light based power
But what is really important is that the injured Martinex is recovering and with the assistance of Starhawk's light and life giving energies, emerged with a new look! That and the fact that Vance Astro is now the proud holder of the shield even though we find him still annoying are the more important developments in this book
Ratings: 7/10
