Marvel Announces Guardians of The Galaxy Comic Relaunch Jan 2019

Although the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy film franchise remains uncertain, fans won’t have to wait long to see the title return to comic book shelves.

Marvel released a cryptic image today asking, “#WhoAreTheGuardians?” Fans will find out in January 2019 according to the post.

The image includes team members from the most recent book that ended in 2017 such as Star-Lord and Drax as well as some surprise Marvel characters including Cosmic Ghost Rider and Thor.

The announcement also revealed Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw for the creative team. The two previously collaborated on Marvel titles including Cosmic Ghost Rider and Thanos.

Cates tweeted his excitement about the new project, promising “insane plans” for the book.



The book’s launch will coincide with the conclusion of the Infinity Wars limited series currently running that features several Guardians characters. Written by Gerry Duggan, the comic run connects to the last Guardians of the Galaxy run released by Marvel which was canceled for low sales.

It seems likely this new book will connect to Infinity Wars, which is why Marvel is keeping all the details under wraps for now.

It’s also possible Marvel is saving more details on Guardians of the Galaxy for New York Comic Con, which will happen a few weeks before January solicits are released.

Given the number of characters included in the teaser image, it looks like the book could have an epic level event in store.

Will you be adding the new Guardians of the Galaxy book to your pull list?

I don't know how he fits into the Infinity Countdown story line or any of that, but when I was checking out some of the covers for a certain notorious un-death, Star Lord is holding one of the stones. You can see it here: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:In...nd_Variant.jpg

I'm assuming it's not a spoiler since it's right on the cover....

Nope...mostly because Marvel can't stop resetting their books. I know DC does too, but at least what I collect will get to a 50 or even a 75.

I also have a problem with the fact that the comic doesn't want to have the "main" team in it anymore, which is odd, considering the masses now know that team via two 200M+ box-office hits.

They made something into a huge hit and before it even got to hit it's prime in the comics as a team, they took it apart as if something was wrong with it.

Tell me about it. Marvel is always rebooting their titles when sales starts to lag. Comic fans cannot resist buying a new issue #1.
