This may just be my favorite Marvel series right now. That art looks gorgeous.

Seeing so many of the Guardians in space suits just made me realize how many of the current group of Guardians can't actually survive in space.

It's definately somewhat of a more humanized cosmic team... which isn't necessarily a bad thing of course.

I love the Marvel Cosmicverse, and this is absolutely stunning art! I've so missed this team and can't wait to see Iron Man's role in all of this! I'll be there.

Who's the girl? Is it Gamora with a skin coloring error, or someone else who leaves or dies in the first issue?

Cannot wait to get my hands on Issue 1!

I think it's the helmet.

Holy crap that art is awesome!

I was under shock with the issue #0.1, and now, seeing these few panels... WOW!!!! I have the chicken skin!!!

This comic book is frankly what Marvel is doing the best of the bests!!!!! Since the relaunch, I was hooked by the main characters driven ones and the X-verse. And now, this cosmicverse... Oo f-word!!! I want it!!! I really need it!!!!

Man that looks great! Loved the 0.1 issue. Really looking forward to this series.

Bendis is doing amazing things right now I can't wait for this.

It's Gamora. All art so far indicates she will now be wearing body armour instead of very little clothing.

When you're in space I suppose that does sort of make sense.

My only issue is a simple one.

Why did they have to abandon the costumes from the last run? There was a very specific aesthetic to Guardians last time out. The co-ordinated uniforms worked for me.

I also by far preferred StarLord with the metallic face masked helmet.
