Finished reading Legendary Star Lord: Face it, I Rule, this begins the All New Marvel Now series to coincide with the release of the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy film. The book opens up with Star Lord at an orphanage trying to stop a pirate gang of Badoon stealing the Mandalay Gem, which Peter also had his eyes on, only for him to be captured by the pirates due to the large bounty on his head. After escaping from the Badoon and giving his savings to the orphanage for compensation, Peter is then captured by a woman who happens to be his half-sister who also wants him for the bounty. Once Peter and his sister Victoria put aside their differences to work together Peter finds himself captured again by the Badoon after being sold out by a girl at a bar where Peter finds a new ship and heads towards earth to confront Thanos on the moon with the help of the Mandaly Gem. Overall this was a good book as it focuses on Star Lords adventures when he's not with the Guardians of the Galaxy and allows for a new supporting cast to shine. There is great comedy within the book with some of the best parts coming from the interactions between Star Lord and Kitty Pryde and how things happen within the background of their conversations. The book itself feels almost episodic which makes it easy to jump to the next part of the story, however in some places this can be a little repetitive as Peter seems to be captured most of the time at the beginning of each issue.7/10.
