vbartilucci asked: Being an Old Comics Fan, I read the original Guardians of the Galaxy adventures, as well as Jim Valentino's run from the pre-Image 90s. So I'll be honest - I don't know these new folks from Adam, and I don't mean Warlock. Based solely on the trailer, I'm willing to make the investment - how far back should I go to get a solid run-up to the characters? Back to vol. 2 of the series, or just the current one, or what?
I think your easiest starting point would be the first volume of the current Bendis/McNiven series, which should give you easy access. But there are a bunch of hardcore GUARDIANS fans who’ll swarm me if I don’t tell you to go further back and start with the earlier Abnett & Lanning material.
I think the Bendis stuff is going to be easier for somebody to jump right into, but that’s also a question of taste.
