Two stars are only for the president quill storyline everything else in this was extremely bad. I don’t even know if the story was good because the issues they put in for the big crossover event made zero sense and were incredibly confusing and boring to read without having context for what weird new event is going on.

This commits some of the worse sins a volume can do. It's mostly issues of an event, Black Vortex, which made worse because the whole thing is necessary to understand understand the rest of Brian Michael Bendis' run. He was able to do this before with Iron Man. Also there's an annual with nice Carol development if I had more context from other comics.

Peter is fighting with his girlfriend, Kitty Pryde, over using this Black Vortex. That would be interesting, but we skip to the end where they're getting married? At most they've together for a year. His dad is apparently going my Mister Knife and allied with the Brood, but almost none of that.

Gamora has cosmic powers from the Black Vortex. She can fly now, has energy swords and a generic design.

Lots of screen time for Nova, no clue who he is. The original teenage X-Men are here. I don't know stuff happens with them, I don't have a reason to care.

Art is good. Dialogue is overused. Just get the last 2 issues.

Peter must deal with the aftermath of being elected the president of Spartax and deal with the aftermath of the Black Vortex battle.

Not a bad book. For a Marvel space book, that means it was better than expected. It was actually readable, except for the summaries which I've actually had to start skipping because they are horrible. And not the best use of Groot, but he was good for a hug. And not the worst Carol Danvers bits or the worse Kitty Pryde bits. A little bit more in depth character stuff and it might actually have been a good book. And since when does Jean Grey have freckles? The young Jean Grey continues to be the best version of her I've seen though - always written in a way that is both interesting and well done. 3.5 of 5.

2.5 I can't tell where this takes place in relation to the last book as it's so drastically different. Nova died in the last issue but he's alive in this one from a different event. Meh. A little too confusing.

Why do I have to read crossovers but only know 25% of what's going on? Why? Half of this volume contained The Black Vortex storyline, but I only know pieces of what happened thanks to the summaries. UGH. Other than that, the Guardians-only storylines were great, I'm in mourning now, though. I'll have to jump into Secret Wars at some point, but please... Promise you won't break my heart that much again. Also, I'd do anything for Peter Quill and Kitty Pryde, I adore them so much together and I need more.

What a fun and crazy conclusion!

Sure, a lot of this volume were random issues jumbled together but it kind of worked and still made an interesting story. I enjoyed this a lot :)

This was a quick read considering I had already read The Black Vortex (which is 2 issues of this volume). I still hardcore ship Quill/Pryde (StarPryde? KittyQuill? KittyLord?)

Will continue reading to see what ridiculous situations they get themselves into next.
