Finished reading Korvac Saga: Warzones! Tying into the large events of Marvel's Secret Wars by exploring the Battleworld domain of Forrest Hills while also bringing an end to the Guardians 3000 storyline. The book opens up with a group of the future Guardians of the Galaxy using the gravity of an older Galactus to travel to the present, hoping to find out what is causing the timeline of the future being in a constant state of flux. The teams journey to present day New York gains the attention of the present day team of the Guardians of the Galaxy where things quickly take a turn for the worse when the Stark robot that was on the future Guardians ship finds reinforcements and begins to attack both teams. The final story of the book features an alternative version of the original Guardians as the heroes of the Forest Hill domain of Battleworld as they are preparing for the arrival of Baron Simon Williams and his Avengers of the Holy Wood domain. However the Guardians are trying to deal with a epidemic of people turning into monsters after claiming to see the stars in the sky that should be there and hoping to keep the news of the epidemic from reaching the Avengers and the public and causing mass hysteria. Overall this was a good book as writer Dan Abnett writes some great interplay between the original Guardians and the current Guardians along with their interactions with the Avengers of the Holy Wood domain of Battleworld works well for the book and brings a few great moments. The role that Geena Drake has at the beginning of the book is set up to be quite major for the rest of the book only for her to be an almost nothing character during the Secret Wars part of it even though she was set up to have an interesting role later on which is given to Korvac. The role that Korvac has within the book is very interesting in how he affects the story and the two teams within the book. The artwork in the book is great as artist Nico Leon captures the sci-fi elements of the Guardians extremely well. Additionally artist Otto Schmidt designs some great monstrous creatures and choreographs the fight and action scenes very well. 7/10.
