All-New Guardians of the Galaxy: Riders in the Sky Review

Finished reading All New Guardians of the Galaxy: Riders in the Sky, continuing the series as writer Gerry Duggan crafts several stores cantering around each member of the Guardians to show what events transpired on the lead up to the beginning of the series. The book opens with a Gamora story as she finds herself within the Soul Stone as she meets with a part of herself that has been in the Infinity Stone for years along with the remnants of other Guardian allies. The next story puts the focus onto Star Lord who is getting a gyroscope for Rocket when one of his tapes break that takes Peter on a journey to rerecord the tape by fining a radio signal from 1980 deep in space. The following story sees Drax explaining to Gamora why he has become a pacifist when he tried to save a group of slaves that took a horrible turn. The next story sees Rocket and Groot going to get some information for a job before the two are attacked that leads to Groot sacrificing himself to save Rocket. The penultimate story has Richard Rider, Nova trying to find his brother Robbie after finding a message that Robbie was unable to seen before he went to the Nova homeworld of Xander only to be captured by a group of Raptors. The book's final story sees the Guardians one Earth as they try to find any leads to the whereabouts of the Infinity Stone whole also picking up a new team member along the way. Overall this was a great book as it shifts away from the books main story to focus on more character driven stories with the team allowing for some great development an insight to what happen to the team in the time between this series and the one that proceeded it. The art throughout the book is amazing as each of the individual art teams do an amazing job in being to life each of the character centric stories along with the tone and the emotions the each of the character to the forefront incredibly well. 8/10.
