Guardians Team-Up #8

VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

A crippled spaceship with a million souls on board. A ruthless force, blasting it all the way to the ground.
And in the middle: Groot and the Silver Surfer, teamed up for a daring rescue!
But what mysterious quest can bring them both together in the midst of this conflict?
And what is the prize that they may both be willing to sacrifice themselves for? Rated T+

BONUS REVIEW by John "Doc" Schaefer


I have always been a fan of team up books, Two-in-One, Brace and Bold, etc. Unfortunately, Guardians seems to be a bit of a stretch. And while this issue is visually appealing in a Jim Starlin draws the universe style, it really doesn't jump out and shake me. Maybe some of the blame can be laid at the feet of our team up hosts, the Guardians. The book's rotating cast of hosts provides no continuity, no glue to hold the ongoing together. And with only one or two exceptions most of the guests aren't really anyone you'd not see in a regular series. The Silver Surfer? Wasn't he a Guardian at one point?! Some of the best team up stories were random guests with no real purpose in being there in the first place. Remember when Spidey teamed up with Iron Man only to bring in the Human Torch to save the Avengers. Or when the Thing was flung back into the past to team up with the Liberty Legion only to end up fighting with Doc Savage? This isn't so much an official Marvel Team-Up book but more of a "Random Tales of the Guardians and their friends."

I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams
