Timothy Green II

In the lead up to the Annihilation: Conquest crossover event we get a mix of the kinds of silly, overly serious nonsense reserved for younger readers willing to buy into comic machismo but you also get issues of Starlord. I'll admit, I'm only reading these in anticipation of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie but to that effect the Starlord issues are highly entertaining. Much of their pull comes from having a set of eclectic characters trying to work together in not so obvious ways. The fact that one of them doesn't work out so well just goes to show how dedicated the writers are to character driven action despite the greater plot being more or less contrived. So I guess I recommend this collection but only for the Starlord limited series.… (altro)
