Guardians of the Galaxy: Comic Primer
Cosmic Marvel got a serious kick in the ass with Annihilation and the subsequent Annihilation: Conquest. Back at Earth, you had the underwhelming Civil War where heroes were pitted against each other over secret identities. Up in space, you had seemingly forgotten and b-list characters rise up, become total badasses, and end up stopping huge armies with scarily powerful enemies. Needless to say that Cosmic Marvel was doing the right thing by comic fans.
The Guardians of the Galaxy was reformed in the aftermath of the Annihilation: Conquest with Star-Lord recruiting heroes around the galaxy to hunt down threats before they happened. Standing with him was Adam Warlock, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Quasar, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Mantis. Setting up their base in Knowhere with their chief of security a telepathic dog named Cosmo (you knew there was more to him in the movie didn't you) they set out to save the galaxy with their trademark style of luck stupid bravery over brains. Check out the first few issues of their on-going story.
