Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel’s 2018 Guardians of the Galaxy series, a compact five-issue run, reimagines the cosmic misfits under a new creative direction, blending high-stakes space opera with the team’s signature irreverent humor. This era, written by Donny Cates with art by Geoff Shaw, strips the Guardians down to their core while introducing a mysterious threat that reshapes their place in the Marvel Universe. Though brief, this volume is a key entry for fans of modern cosmic storytelling, offering a lean, punchy adventure that cements Cates and Shaw’s mark on the franchise.
