Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Francesco Francavilla I say this a lot. And I don't care. I love this book. Are there differences to the characters since Annihilation? Yes. And there should be. These characters should be growing and changing and evolving. If you don't like how they're changing, that's fine. But don't whine that they're not acting like the same people they were 5 years and 3 wars ago. Come on. This book seems to be constantly on the edge of exploding into something big. Lots of secrets, lots of something big just lurking over the horizon, and we as fans have seen this months ago, but it's finally starting to occur to Gamora that she needs to be asking some hard questions. Peter wants to make a plan. But really, it seems more like stalling to me. And I think Gamora gets that too. She flat out asks Peter and Drax how they came back.

Hey, Geeks and Geekettes! It's Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas, also known as Comic Book Wednesday, and that means COMIC REVIEWS!!! This week we'll be focusing on my two favorites, Guardians of the Galaxy and Red Hood and The Outlaws, the latter of which comes back after a month away while DC did their Villains Month; we'll talk about that some. Now then! ON TO THE REVIEWS!! Guardians of the Galaxy is probably my favorite comic out right now, for a number of reasons. Love or hate Bendis, he's on a mission; to give a comic that ties into Infinity, but also prepares new and old readers alike for the upcoming movie based on this title. Are the characters exactly like the movie? No, yet neither are they exactly like we've seen before. This title also introduces Angela, formerly of Image comics, and her return to the comic book page. I love her dynamic with the team and the possibilities she presents if she stays in the title, and as future story arc ads suggest, she does. This ...

Now on to the reviews! Writer: Frank Tieri Artist: Barrionuevo Infinity Heist was an interesting story. It follows Blizzard and Whirlwind, two c-list villains, on their adventure trying to take advantage of the Avengers being in space. It's a fun story! They're bumbling idiots who just can't catch a break. They break into the Wakanda Bank to steal supposed diamonds and gold, but Spymaster has beat them to it. He waits in an empty vault, offering to let them in on an even bigger score... What this comic does to irritate the crap out of me, is changes artist style in the middle of the...

SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, I'M ABOUT TO RUIN IT FOR YOU. Here we are. Issue #5 of Guardians of the Galaxy. I LOVE THIS FREAKING COMIC! That being said, I'm reading so much hate on this book lately, it's unreal. So let's clear some things up. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: With Bendis books, Marvel readies the ramp-up to next year’s film http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/comic-riffs/post/guardians-of-the-galaxy-with-bendis-books-marvel-readies-the-ramp-up-to-next-years-film/2013/06/21/796c4f7e-d894-11e2-9df4-895344c13c30_blog.html An interview with Bendis, talking about being on the committee for the movie, and bringing the comic back BECAUSE of the movie... http://marvel.com/news/story/19545/marvel_now_qa_guardians_of_the_galaxy Bendis and Marvel are using this title to tie the core story into the movie. This is a bridge series. They're changing the characters to more of the way they were (specifically Peter) in their origins. These aren't the chara...
