Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: The Black Vortex

Finished reading Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: The Black Vortex, spinning out of the pages of Marvel's Legendary Star Lord, writer Sam Humphries carves a story that brings together the X-Men and the Guardians as a cosmic artefact threatens the future of the galaxy. The book opens up with a flashback to twelve billion years in the past showing the origins of the Black Vortex while back in the present Star Lord and Kitty Pryde bring together the X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy after the two stole the Black Vortex from Peter's father after his group called the Slaughter Lords were cosmically empowered by the artefact. However this was before Thane, the son of Thanos leading to the group lead by Mr Knife to try to retrieve the Black Vortex from the heroes only for Gamora, Beast and Angel to submit to the vortex when both teams teleport away. Things turn for the worst when Ronan the Accuser takes the Black Vortex to the Kree home world of Hela, only for the cosmically powered heroes to get the Vortex back due to losing themselves within their new powers while the Guardians and X-Men try to help the Kree and deal with Mr Knife as well. Overall this was a good book as it continues the storyline from the Legendary Star Lord series very nicely as it wraps up the overarching story of the series on an amazing note. The book does a great job in giving some great character moments thanks to the multiple writers of the book as most of the characters prospects come from the fact that different writers use certain characters as the point of view in parts of the book. The art throughout the book also works similarly to the writing as it changes due to the different writer and the change of the point of view character in parts of the book feel a little inconsistent but overall works of the tone of each part of the book. Also the character interactions between the Guardians and the X-Men is great especially when the cosmic powered heroes have a moment of realisation of what they're doing. Additionally the ending moments of the book between Star Lord and Kitty Pryde are amazing as its a great pay of for the pair's story that has been one the main parts of the Legendary Star Lord series. 7.5/10.
