A little late I know but in my defense I was very drunk this
weekend. So, in case you haven’t
heard, Guardians of the Galaxy was a
huge hit last year. Chances are
you probably knew that, what you might not know is that Disney/Marvel is
actually looking to capitalize on this success in a more meaningful way than
usual by giving the Guardians an animated series. The show premiered on Saturday and it’s…harmless. The Disney television animation
studio’s seen better days certainly but if you were hoping recent hits like Gravity Falls or Stars vs. The Forces of Evil might signal an uptick in quality
temper those expectations.
However, this recent twist of fate is all the excuse I need
to showcase the best Guardians of the Galaxy comic covers…of the original team. Yeah, little known fact but the
original Guardians of the Galaxy are a team of genetically altered humanoids
and aliens who act as the last resistance of a far flung future where humanity
and most of the galaxy has been crushed under the heal of villainous lizard men
known as Badoon. They appeared
briefly in the well remembered Korvac Saga and enjoyed a surprisingly long
lived solo series, that’s what I’ll be drawing from for this extra large list.
