Guardians 3000: Time After Time Review

Finished reading Guardians 3000: Time After Time, this book sees writer Dan Abnett return to the Guardians of the Galaxy only this time he's writing the original Guardians from a whole millennium in the future. The book opens up with the Guardians of the Galaxy from the 31st century on Earth rescuing the human Geena Drake from a Badoon slave camp as the Guardians are in need of her help but are not sure why yet. The next story starts with the Guardians being surrounded by a army of Badoon with the team all losing the battle along with their lives. The book then flashes back to thirty minutes earlier as the team are heading to a meeting with leaders of different alien races but this time Geena remembers what happened the last time apart from the fact that time has changed to the fact that Starhawk is now a woman due to time being broken thanks to something that has happened in the past. After being able to safely retreat from the Badoon, the Guardians get separated when a hive mind robot army called The Stark attack the team resulting Yondu, Charlie-27 and Geena being stranded on a nearby plant while the rest of the team are stranded in space. Overall this was a great book as builds a very interesting story with some great moments and even though the story doesn't end in this book it makes you ask for more of the story that writer Dan Abnett has constructed. There are some amazing character moments throughout the book from Yondu having a great fight scene against the Stark to some great comedic moments from Starhawk and the introduction of Nikki meeting with the team again only for the Guardians not knowing her due to time being broken. Additionally the use of the narration is great as Geena's narration helps to give the reader a insight to how the Guardians work as a team from someone who is new to the team. The artwork by Gerardo Sandoval is stunning as it captures the futuristic and science fiction tone of the book incredibly well while the action scenes are showed greatly even though on first glance they look extremely crowded but thanks to the rest of the art team the scenes are brought to life and work perfectly within the context of the story. 8.5/10.
