Guardians of the Galaxy: New Guard: Civil War II Review

Finished reading Guardians of the Galaxy: New Guard: Civil War II, writer Brian Michael Bendis brings the Guardians of the Galaxy to Earth as the events of Civil War II has begun to affect the heroes of Earth. The book opens with a group of heroes lead by Captain Marvel readying for Thanos' appearance on Earth that has been predicted by the Inhuman Ulysses. The next story sees the Guardians celebrating their victory on defeating the Badoon previously in the series the team get a massage for Captain Marvel asking for their help within the events of Civil War II as the team vote in favour to help Carol in her dispute with Iron Man. However once the team arrive on Earth they find themselves stranded with their ship blown up and separated when they discover Thanos is on the planet. The final story story sees Rocket remembering a time the Guardians had to rescue Spider-Man from a group of Skrulls who wanted to use him as bait to capture Venom, more specifically the symbiote itself. Overall this was a good book as it shows how the Guardians got to Earth to partake in the events of Civil War II and how being involved has left them stranded on the planet and going off on their separate ways. There is a nice amount of character interactions between the team that helps to grieve some character substance before the events of Civil War II jettison the team in to the disputed between Earth's superhero community. The book art is great as it delivers on the great action set pieces and location designs while also doing a great job in the character moments. 7/10.
