a year or two ago this book would do nothing for me. But if I can get into Nova, I gotta give these guys a shot.

ROCKET RACCOON FOR PRESIDENT! This is gonna be awesome. Has Marvel tagged Abnett and Lanning as "Rising Stars" or "Young Guns" or anything like that? Cuz they really need to showcase these guys' talent a lot more. I feel like enjoying the book makes me part of a small secret society of fans that stumbled upon the Annihilation event books through the thicket of Civil War and World War Hulk.

F*#$ Rocket Racoon. He's nothing without Groot.

Love the team assembled--creatively and in the book. If anyone wants a good recommendation for Abnett-Lanning get "Legion Lost" with great art by Coipel from a few years ago. Wish DC would put it in trade.

I'm actually pretty excited about this one, especially after the job these guys have done on Nova. And Pelletier's pencils. Forget it. I'm on board.

Ugh. I guess you needed a strong background of other comics to appreciate this one. I gave it a shot because it was a "first issue". I found it confusing, a tad cliche (a traitor in thier midst...), and a tad too silly (ok maybe i can buy a talking racoon, but a talking soviet dog (who speaks English???). Maybe i just can't suspend my disbelief as much as i can on other titles. Great for those of you who know the back story, it sucks for us newbies.

Finally star-lord and his crew are back!! i loved the Star-Lord mini's and i love the new cast of characters
finally no SECRET INVASION just some good fun spacey times

RadConsv, the english speaking soviet dog Cosmo, if you noticed, speaks with a russian accent, so clearly russian is his first language, english his second. Also, it brings up the question: "when dealing with telepathy, are there such things as languages?" I've always thought not.

I could have done without the relatiy show, real world backstage cam thing, but I loved this. I love that Marvel is bringing its outer space characters and stories back in a great way.

two words: Cosmicky Goodness!!!

Sooooo good. The single panel with Rocket and Cosmo alone makes it my pick.

Absolutely zero exposure to any of the back story, and I was sucked right into this book. I am now going to take a look at Nova because of this book. This was totally my book of the week.

Really looking forward to this given how great Nova has been.
