Legendary Star-Lord: First Flight



Finished reading Legendary Star-Lord: First Flight, retuning to the main Marvel universe after the events of Secret Wars writer Sam Humphries retells the origin of Peter Quill and bringing in elements form the Guardians of the Galaxy film. The book opens with a young Peter Quill in a flight simulator before going back to work as one of NASA's janitors at the organisations facility in California which is in possession of a Kree spaceship that the Avengers brought back to earth when the were in space the last time. With the astronauts of NASA trying and failing to uncover the secrets of the spaceship and emulate its technology for NASA's own space project. When Peter gets to a fight because of a disagreement with how to get the warp drive of Kree ship to work which leads to Peter to be dismissed. Not talking the new of potentially being reassigned to a different facility Peter steals the ship and gets the warp drive to work which leads to Peter getting stranded in space only for Yondo and the Ravagers to find him. Overall this was great book as it dives into the story of how Peter Quill got himself into space and dealing with the differences it his to life on Earth and even how Peter hilariously finds himself in a similar situation in space to what his life was like back on Earth. The art by Javier GarrĂ³n is great as it fits the story extremely well with the differences and even the similarities between the scenes set on Earth and the scenes in space look great, while there is some great comedy with in its visuals. 8/10.
