So if Marvel decided to say add one or more of the current X-Men in space, Havok Polaris, Warlock. and Rachel Summers, to the team roster of Guardians of the Galaxy would that all tempt you to try out the book? If so please post who it would take to join the cast for you to buy the new GOTG book.

GOTG is good enough with the Star Lord crew... If Havok or Polaris join, I hope its only to be mocked by Rocket for ten minutes before they're jettisoned into space for being hopelessly annoying. Rachel I could actually see fitting in and doing some good for the book... she's an upgrade from phyla-vell to be certain, and Mr. Quill needs a gal pal.

I'd totally buy it, as long as Rchel Summers was killed in the first arc or just not mentioned at all.

I just think it would be cool to not really have actual x-members, but say a character like Lilandra,or Korvus added to the roster. Kind of make them the new Star jammers plus the Shiar is a powerful empire and to have no presence in a book that is about protecting space I think is wasting potential stories. It would make Phyla a lot more interesting if say there was a Shiar member and she had some grudge still about what the Shiar did to the Kree people. Or they could do a juliet and juliet story where Phyla falls in love with a shiar woman and no one wants to accept it. lol

Maybe. I have no interest in the Cosmic Marvel.
I might buy it only because Rachel is in it, but it depends on how she's written and if Korvus is in it. If it's more Korvus & Rachel nausea inducing crap, I wouldn't be interested.
However, I would buy it if Emma Frost was killed in it. Or if Korvus died a violent death.

Korvus...::shudders::... only if Rocket or Groot gets to kill him.
I wouldn't mind seeing them go up against the Shi'ar or Vulcan... Nova vs. Vulcan would be pretty cool, as would Gamora vs. Deathbird

I've always said that the Starjammers could make a cool guest-appearance alongside Starlord and his people. Figure Havok is and his crew keep doing their pirate thing, end up on one side of an alien civil war; Starlord and the GotG on the other side.
I'd read it just for Rocket and Ch'od.

Guys with swords are cool. The whole tieing him into Phoenix and having him want Rachel are the nauseating parts.

Agreed, although I wouldn't mind seeing the GoG interact with the Shi'ar.

The GoG getting involved in rescuing Alex, Lorna and the others wouldn't be a bad idea. So, for an arc it would be fine. In the long-term, I want Rachel and the others back on Earth.
One of the best scenerios for resolving the Vulcan saga could be a rescue attempt that would allow Alex, Lorna and Rachel to return to Earth to regroup, and then in a while there could be a crossover event within the X-books when Vulcan tries to invade Earth.
Ch'od would definitely be a good addition to GoG. He has a lot of potential.
No. I prefer the X-Men to keep their feet on Earth, so to speak.

The covers are always hot and I like the interior art, and I want to get into it but am totally perplexed by the Marvel Cosmos.

I'm already getting GoTG but I wouldn't automatically be opposed to them adding an X-Character. It would depend on who and how.

If so please post who it would take to join the cast for you to buy the new GOTG book.Would not hurt matters at all (indeed, I would like for them to run into each other), but the crew stands well enough on it's own for me to add it to my pull list anyway.

GotG is already great. Adding an x-tool smacks of gimmickry.
Keep those x-f****s out of my unsullied non-x-books.

if they add Havok, Polaris, and Rachel Summers I'd buy it monthly because those 3 are in my top 15-20 fav. X-Men

I started buying GoTG with #9, with or without the Starjammers, for WoK. But I think the prescence of the Starjammers starting with issue #13, will keep me buying it for a while now.

Get out of my brain, Cayman.

I'm already reading the book and loving it. To be honest, I feel that characters like Havok and Rachel just won't fit in with the tone of the book.

im thinking she is either going to merge with moon dragon, or get possessed by the dragon of the moon like moon dragon was. Will be interesting seeing how much they change her personality. I guess this is proof that the real Quasar will be sticking around too.

I marked 'Other', as I already get the book and plan to continue doing so for as long as DnA keep rocking it.

She and Kurt would likely be consummating their relationship on Feral's grave.
I'd actually be LESS likely to buy it if there were any X-Men in the title.
GoG doesn't need anything X-Men. A cross-over with the current Starjammers might be a fun read.

I think she is going to be a thrall to Death. Marvel Death is a hot babe.

Thanos is my favorite. And if he desecrates Captain Marvel through Phyla, I will be giddy. I hope her new lover, R'chel, doesn't interfere.

Nope.
I thought the trend of putting X-Men on the roster of unrelated books to boost sales was over.

Wolverine and Storm haven't gotten that memo, then. To a lesser degree (and I say lesser because he may be x-related but isn't an X-Man), Daken hasn't either.

people are stupid about this sort of thing. so the possibility of an x-character joining the GoTG cast makes you less likely to buy it? Even if quality remains the same?
I don't like Longshot, but I still buy X-Factor.

I dont see how the quality could remain the same with an X-character included.

Pretty much me, too.
However, I would buy a Starjammers series with the current team in it.
