COMICS IN REVIEW: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ~ DREAM ON #1

Hello everyone! As some of you may know, I am writing for the website COMICONVERSE. I have been covering the current comic books from Marvel Comics and BOOM! Studios such as Doctor Strange and Kong of Skull Island.

For myself and anyone else interested I am documenting each of my articles here at Blood Work.

If you haven't checked out this latest article here you go!





Since Marvel relaunched the Guardians of the Galaxy comic books in 2013 with comic superstar Brian Michael Bendis on writing... it has been nothing but disappointment after disappointment for me. Because of Bendis the Guardians are receiving higher comic sales and more exposure than ever though. I guess I'm just weird in that Bendis' Guardians book doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure the 2014 movie has a lot to do with the success of Bendis' book too.

The ancillary comic book, LEGENDARY STAR-LORD by Sam Humphries was pretty good. But by far the most enjoyable Guardians titles over the last few years for me personally have been GUARDIANS 3000 and GUARDIANS OF INFINITY, both by Dan Abnett. But as far a comic books about Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot go there hasn't been much I've enjoyed.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Dream On #1 is merely a simple one-shot special cashing in on the buzz over the new Guardians movie. But holy cow did it deliver. At least for me anyway. This is by far the most enjoyable Guardians of the Galaxy comic book about the current team that I have read in a long while. In this one issue writer Marc Sumerak shows that he knows these characters far better than Bendis does. Plus it has DEATH'S HEAD!!! 

Nuff Said!

And of course tell me what you think!
