A new Guardians of the Galaxy ongoing will be coming soon, and it will be spinning out of Annihilation: Conquest. I loved the first “Annihilation” and I dig “Annihilation: Conquest”, so I’m definitely picking this one up. I just hope Star-Lord’s crew from his mini-series will make it into this new monthly because goddammit, they’re fun to read. I mean, come on. Rocket Raccoon and Groot’s odd couple shenanigans will be enough to make me stick to a monthly book. Make it so, Marvel!
Here’s a funny story:
I’ve had several experiences before wherein I braved ridiculous traffic while ignoring hunger just to get my new comics from my LCS, only to be told that the shipment was late and I had to go back the next day. This past week though, I knew ahead of time that the shipment would be delayed. I talked to the clerks via SMS and I confirmed that the shipment was indeed late. So instead of going to the shop on Thursday, I went on Friday. But alas! I was told I had to go back Saturday after lunch! Screw that! I’ll just get it when I pick up next week’s haul. I’m lazy like that.
With DC releasing a teaser image last week for “Final Crisis”, I’ve realized that I have a love/hate relationship with Marvel’s Distinguished Competition. Well, at least with their events.
Although I mostly hated the Civil War mini-series, I loved the concept as a whole. And there were a lot of good tie-ins. I also enjoyed the fallout of said event, plus other recent and current Marvel events that include Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest, and World War Hulk. With DC, however, they fall short on the follow-ups and tie-ins, with the exception of 52 which I totally dug.
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
