Guardians of the Galaxy – Angela | Comics

Shortly after they have made a quick work of their captors, Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy escaped Spartoi custody. To celebrate their freedom, they made a stop to bar of an unnamed planet and there, Gamora eventually decided to hook up with Tony Stark at one point after flirting with him for a brief time. As Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon and Groot were enjoying themselves, Peter notices some Spartax soldiers walking in and advice the gang to lay low but they inadvertently gets noticed and Drax breaks a fight in with the royal guards.

Gamora goes out telling Stark about going back to the bar but as she went outside, a bounty hunter named Maxilin the Accuser shot her from behind. As she is caught off guard, a wounded Gamora barely crawls to a side and the bounty hunter came chasing the daughter of Thanos for a handsome amount of prize on her head. She demands to know who put the bounty on her and keeps fighting back each time Maxilin puts her down. Finally, Rocket Raccoon arrives with the rest of the gang and saved her in time by blasting a hole into the attacker's chest.

Tony decides to check on Earth and he does so by contacting Pepper Potts with a device Rocket gave him. He asks her to send some Avengers if possible and he will be back once he makes sure Earth is out of danger from invasion. Meanwhile, in an attempt to save Earth recently, multiple time-travels have caused rips in space-time continuum and a divine being from Heavens named Angela enters our universe. To seek the answer for who brought her here, Angela is headed towards Earth.

Rocket and Tony were talking about Gamora, when she came looking for Quill and upon learning Peter is not on board, points out that he brought the entire Spartax fleet on their tail and leaving is not cool. On Rigel-7, while running from Spartax royal guards Peter seeks out Mantis to get a hold of his thoughts and revealed a stream of thoughts as well as earning a brief visit from The Mad Titan. On board the Guardians' ship, Rocket picks up signal for something headed towards Earth and turns out its Angela.

Since Tony cannot suit up right now as it is disassembled and Quill is currently absent on scene, Gamora engages her on mid-flight and then a fierce battle ensues among the two femme fatales, who are equally formidable and ruthless. On the surface of Moon, these two warrior charges at each other with all they've got. Even Uatu the Watcher stops by to point out Angela should not be here and her presence means greater catastrophes to come. He witnesses this epic fight and sees Angela taking a hit from Gamora before being overpowered by her.

Peter came back from his visit from Thanos just in time as Rocket Raccoon and Groot suited up to stop Angela. It took the joint effort of the whole team just to slow her down and Star-Lord's surprise attack finally subdued her. Upon hearing her story, they decided to let her go and keep an eye on her. In the meantime, Thanos launches invasion on Earth and the Guardians rushed to stop him, aided by Angela. When the crisis is over, she and Gamora teams up on Planet Moord to take on a Badoon outpost.

Starting to find a new direction for the team, Guardians of the Galaxy returns after a while in "Cosmic Avengers" arc and now has ascended to the storyline "Angela". The story collects issue #04-10 from the third ongoing volume of Guardians of the Galaxy and two of the issues from the story have served as tie-in for the event. Although, the character of Angela originated from a different reality of a diverse publisher, she is now part of Marvel Universe and her grand-entry in this story gives us a good hint that she is going to turn tides for good. The course of the team will take a new turn in the upcoming storyline "Guardians Disassembled" as they will include a brand-new member to their fold.

With the artists team of Jim Cheung (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Avengers & X-Men – Axis), Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver, Marvel Comics have had comic-book writer Jonathan Hickman (Secret Wars, Time Runs Out) concoct the 2013 major crossover comic event “Infinity”. Issues from many other monthly ongoing series like Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel, Fearless Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mighty Avengers, Nova, Secret Avengers, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Thunderbolts also served as the tie-in issues of this cosmic Marvel adventure.

Rumor has it that even though the 2018's Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action release of Avengers: Infinity War takes the legendary "Infinity Gauntlet" arc as their primary plotline, 2013's "Infinity" crossover event will also shape the film's plot to a modern setting. Elements from the crossover such as introducing the Black Order as lackeys of Thanos in the film to do his bidding is possibly one of such. Instead of Black Order, his lackeys are referred as Children of Thanos in the film and Black Dwarf among them is named Cull Obsidian, which is actually an alias for Black Order in the comics.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Cosmic Avengers | Comics

Before Peter Quill became the legendary outlaw of the galaxy known as Star-Lord, he was a little boy from Earth raised by his single mother Meredith Quill. Thirty years ago, before the boy was born, a runaway spaceship crashed onto the front door of Meredith, who then dragged out and rescued the passenger. Little did she know about him that the man is an alien named J'son, who is from the planet Spartax. While staying there for fixing his ship, they both fall in love and she gave birth to Peter once J'son was gone.

Meredith raised the boy on her own but not having a father around made the child grow up to be angry all the time and picking up fights with school bullies. One evening, two Badoon soldiers showed up on their doorstep and killed her but before they could end the "Spartoi bloodline" by killing the boy, Peter shot them both with a shotgun. Before leaving, he finds the Element Gun J'son gave to Meredith as a parting gift and then the Badoon ship blew up the house. Becasue, he couldn't stop the Badoon or Spartax from fighting each other, he wants to make sure that they could never lay their hands on Earth.

With Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon and Groot already in the team, the Guardians have a brand-new member in their fold; the Invincible Iron Man of The Avengers. Tony was only interested in knowing Quill's standpoint on the Badoons invading Earth and after hearing his story, he is all in. Peter Quill was then hanging out on a galactic bar and trying to hit on a Kree girl when his father, J'son of Spartax came in guarded by Spartoi Royal Guards to meet him so that he could tell him in person to stay out of Earth.

It appears that J'son is a member of Galactic Council; an inter-galactic secret counsel comprised of him along with Annihilus, Majestor Kallark/Gladiator of Shi'ar Empire, Queen of the Brood and Supreme Intelligence of Kree. Together the Council has came to the decision to leave Earth be so that it gets a chance to be a part of galactic civilization. As their meeting was getting to a heated argument, Gamora came crushing down the royal guards to rescue Quill, thinking he is in trouble. In space, Iron Man encounters a Badoon warship and prepares to face it but the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive.

They successfully dealt with them but then the remaining Badoon warship enters Earth's atmosphere and starts wrecking havoc in London. Though they couldn't call Fantastic Four, The Avengers, The Defenders, Power Pack or X-Men, Quill and his gang took out the Badoon armada by themselves. The whole gang is then arrested by Spartax soldiers for violating "Spartax Earth Directive" by setting foot on Earth. Before they know a thing, the Guardians are captured and sent to the prison planet after stripping them all off their weapons.

Starting off the third monthly ongoing series with writer Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers Disassembled, Civil War II) and artist Steve McNiven (Civil War, Death of Wolverine), "Cosmic Avengers" is a story-arc of Guardians of the Galaxy that creates a new path for the favorite cosmic outlaws of Marvel and leads them to a new path. The story came out in 2014 and comprises of issues #01-03 from Guardians of the Galaxy third monthly series including issue #0.1 and Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrow 's Avengers one-shot. We can see how Marvel is trying to re-introduce the cosmic outlaws to readers when the live-action Guardians of the Galaxy movie is awaiting release in a few months.

The story gives a never-before seen peak at Star-Lord's not so well-known origin, will also lead to the introduction of a major character in the near future and a lots of adventures that is full of conflict. Plus, Tony Stark hanging out with a group of misfit heroes on space who are not his regular buddies from Avengers was sort of an amusement. Seems like Iron Man fits just fine with the team as any other member they have ever taken in. Since the heroes already have a rocky-start with Badoons, the stakes are going to be high from this point and many new developments will take place on the upcoming arc "Angela".

Age of Ultron | Comics
Years ago, scientist Henry Pym created the artificial intelligence called Ultron for peacekeeping, that later turned on the humans and developed a rivalry with The Avengers. For years, Ultron is been considered as the most feared opponent by the heroes as he desires the total annihilation of the human race. Ultron have returned and as it was feared, he took over New York, decimated its population and left it in ruins. Except for the Invisible Woman, all of the Fantastic Four are vanquished in an attack by Ultron Sentinels and in a hidden base Captain America, Emma Frost, Iron Man, Luke Cage, She-Hulk, Susan Storm and Wolverine has taken refuge. The Superior Spider-Man is meanwhile rescued by Hawkeye from the minor villains like Owl and Hammerhead.

With a plan to infiltrate Ultron’s base for attack, Luke Cage and She-Hulk volunteered but once inside, they found The Vision instead of his master. She-Hulk bravely sacrificed herself to let Luke Cage escape with this insight, who informed the heroes about the discovery. When all the gathering heroes travel to the future timeline to encounter Ultron for one last time, Wolverine decides to go back in time to kill Dr. Pym to end up this mess at the first place. What he did not knew then is that the Invisible Woman has secretly traveled in time with him, following Logan. But what change Wolverine’s actions will bring upon the existing regular timeline and what chaos will the universe undergo for a bunch of change in the space time continuum remains a question.
