Finished reading Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, this book follows Star Lord's current adventures within Battleworld after Doctor Strange teleported the survivors of the original Marvel universe in the pages of the main Secret Wars book. The book opens up with Peter Quill going by the name of Steve Rogers while being the lead singer of a band in the Quiet Room located in the Manhattan domain of Battleworld. One night Peter notices the Age of Apocalypse version of Kitty Pryde which leads him to blow a trade between Kitty and a version of Gambit who is a collector in this domain as Kitty was trying to acquire items of unknown origin for Doom's daughter Valeria. Overall this was a great book as writer Sam Humphries tells the story of how Star Lord is trying to come to terms with being stuck on a new world where his teammates and the love of his life never existed. The interplay between Peter and Kitty is great as it fits into the story extremely well as the two create some great comedy and character driven moments. The artwork by Alti Firmansyah captures the tone of the book incredibly well as the cartoonist style works wonders on the over exaggerated emotions of characters which helps to make some great laughs. The addition of the first appearance of the Age of Apocalypse Kitty Pryde is nice as it helps to show what sort of character she is and how different this Kitty is compared to the original version that Star Lord got engaged to in the final part of the Black Vortex storyline, which also features inside this book. 8/10.
