All New Guardians of the Galaxy: Communication Breakdown Review

Finished reading All New Guardians of the Galaxy: Communication Breakdown, beginning a new series for the Guardians with writer Gerry Duggan at the helm as the team find themselves at the centre of a changing landscape of the Marvel Universe's cosmic side with the Elders of the Universe and a couple of new threats not far behind. The book opens with the Guardians breaking out of jail after being arrested by the Nova Corps as the get themselves a new ship which the team soon name the Milano. The book then jumps to the planet Citopia as the Guardians use a life size Galactus spaceship to pull of a heist to retire a baby universe for the GrandMaster, who soon gives the team a new job to break into the Collector’s own collection for another item, the Hujahdarian Monarch Egg. While on their way back to the Grandmaster after the Collector gives them a replica of the egg, the Guardians find themselves coming under attack by a group of Raptors form the Shi'ar Empire try to reclaim the contents of the Milano as it was their ship to begin with. Overall this was a great book as it sends the Guardians into a new direction as they find themselves caught in the middle of a dispute between the Grandmaster and the Collector which leads to some amazing heist scenes that are designed and plan extremely well thanks to the books visuals along with the interactions between the Guardians and some of the comedy that comes with the situations they find themselves in. The book also does a great job in setting up some very intriguing storylines for the future of the series as the use of the Raptors not only brings a group to be placed against the Guardians thanks the gene way that the fight scenes are created along with the the leader of the Raptors knowing who the team is along with the reason why the Guardians come into conflict with them. While the story cantering around the Elders of the Univeres which ties into the reason why Groot isn't growing along with a group of monstrous Groots showing up leads to a great cliffhanger that the book leaves on. The art throughout the book is amazing as the entity of the art team do an amazing job in bring to life some breathtaking visuals to life thanks to the different designs of the alien creatures like the space fish that the Grandmaster is living in to the multiple locations especially with the place that the Collector holds his collection as not only for the amazing designed place but the way that the art show the inside of place for an outside prospective is breathtaking. While the action set pieces are draw greatly thanks to the was that the art team puts the powers and abilities of each character to the forefront especially with the use of the different weapons and equipment the characters use lead to some great imagery. 8.5/10.
