Obviously Iron Man on the Guardians of the Galaxy got my attention (Bendis too). This series came out in February 2012. They paired Bendis with big name artists like McNiven and Pichelli. Pichelli was super popular at the time based on her other collaboration with Bendis on Ultimate Comics Spider-Man with Miles Morales. There is also an interesting 7-page short story included that pairs Bendis with his long-time Powers collaborator, Michael Avon Oeming. I didn't read Dan Abnett's 2008 run on Guardians of the Galaxy but I was curious as to if this series had any influence on the hit MCU movie franchise that released in August 2014. They have similar takes on Starlord and the lineup (excluding Iron Man). Given all its potential, it was just okay and forgettable. I went back to look at it and realized why it was so forgettable, its essentially only 100 pages of story. Officially, the TPB is 144 pages; however, the included GOTG: Tomorrow's Avengers #1 is 35 pages of mostly short-story filler followed by 8 pages of pinups and adds. Marvel was doing this kind of stuff a lot at the time and $19.99 is too high in my opinion (especially since Image has been doing their introductory $9.99 on most of their trades since before 2012). This volume received a 4.4 on Amazon, 3.71 on Goodreads, and an 8.0 Critic Rating on Comic Book Round Up. I give it a 7/10.
