Synopsis
Someone has to guard the galaxy, but who will accept this bizarre new mission? Once, the Guardians of the Galaxy were a team of misfits. Now they’re a family, and they’ve earned their peace. But the universe is not a peaceful place — and it’s only getting worse. The Great Empires are in turmoil. The rule of law is dead. And amidst the chaos, the gods of Olympus have returned — harbingers of a new age of war, reborn to burn their mark onto the stars themselves! The Guardians of the Galaxy are back, but will the entire team survive? And wait, is Rocket wearing a suit? The Lion of Olympus, a rogue Nova and the Dragon of the Moon await as Al Ewing (IMMORTAL HULK) takes the Guardians to new levels of awesome!
