Guardians of the Galaxy #2
SCORE: 66
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the
Guardians of the Galaxy #2 comic book. This is a one shot story that
progresses a few things forward but otherwise seems a bit pointless. The
Guardians of the Galaxy are almost out of fuel when they come to a
planet to meet with an old friend of Peter Quill. There are two sides
fighting on this planet and Peter is trying to get them to stop because
of the Grootfall danger. There is a second team of two sent to the other
side. There will be spoilers in this review.
The issues families can have with Guardians of the Galaxy #2 are lack of
attire, enticement to lust, violence, blood, bad language, and more. The
humor is really toned down in Guardians of the Galaxy #2. I am not sure
what Drax is about in Guardians of the Galaxy #2. He sits there in space
and looks at the planet. I wonder if Drax is trying to say he is out of
place on the Guardians of the Galaxy. I guess I will need to keep
reading to find out. Rocket is still not present in Guardians of the
Galaxy #2.
Nebula and Gamora are the other team of two in Guardians of the Galaxy
#2. They give up trying to communicate and kill this creature and then
steal its Mysterium. Guardians of the Galaxy #2 explains that Mysterium
is really valuable. Drax and Star Lord discuss how in the old days they
would just steal stuff from others when they arrived. It seems Star Lord
is trying to be better but the other Guardians miss the old days. It
makes me think some people cannot change who or what they actually are.
There are twenty pages of comic book content within Guardians of the
Galaxy #2. We get three pages of content and then the credits page. One
of next month's covers is shown at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy
#2. I have read the Bullpen Bulletins before in other comic books. The
art and paneling is decent within Guardians of the Galaxy #2. The story
within Guardians of the Galaxy #2 feels pointless. Unless there are
seeds being planted for the future. Again I need to keep reading to find
out.
I have read two comics in this new Guardians of the Galaxy comic book
series. Nothing really stands out that for me in this series thus far.
Guardians of the Galaxy #2 did not answer any questions I had about the
first issue. I still do not understand what is going on with Groot. I
still have no idea what happened to Rocket. I am also unclear what
brought these characters together. What is the goal of the Guardians of
the Galaxy? I am also a bit perplexed by the attack when the Guardians
of the Galaxy was referenced.
