“Marvel readers better get ready for something truly fantastic and incredibly FUN as we team up the Guardians with the rest of the Marvel Universe, creating not only new friendships, but potentially new enemies, and even new romances!” says Guardians Team-Up Editor Katie Kubert. “By taking the most fun toys in the sandbox and pairing them together, be prepared to see something completely different, told by some of the best and brightest writers and artists in the business. And, like the nature of the team-ups themselves, both old and new creative faces to Marvel.”

Strap in for an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride when GUARDIANS TEAM-UP #1 explodes into comic shops and digital devices this February!

Team-Up books are somewhat rare these days, with most ‘team-ups’ taking place in regular ongoing series’ these days and then massive crossovers and event books. So with that, it’s kind of neat that Marvel is resurrection the monthly tram-up series here with Guardians Team-Up.

The GotG probably wouldn’t be my first choice to headline (I’d much rather see Spider-Man or even the X-Men), I do understand why they were chosen to lead the book in title and theme. They are movie stars now after all, and are huge draws at the moment, so it was probably a foregone conclusion that they’d get a second series from Marvel, it’s just a kind of cool bonus that it’s a team-up book. So even if you’re not all that into Guardians (like me), it’s still a book that will appeal to a broad rage of readers.

It’s coming up fast too as the monthly book is scheduled to hit the stands this February from the very talented team of Brian Michael Bendis and Art Adams (who does the cover illustration as well as the interiors.
