Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective | Comics

In an undisclosed location, Drax the Destroyer was accompanying his friends in the Guardians of the Galaxy to fight a coven of aliens to stop them from detonating a dirty bomb powered by magic. Led by Kitty Pryde, the new Star-Lord of the team, fellow Guardians members Groot, Rocket Raccoon, The Thing and Venom were fighting against the oncoming enemy horde. As always, Drax's ruthless efficiency has earned them an easy victory in the end and they decide to part ways for now to celebrate on their own.

When he wished to tag along, Kitty mentions that she is going out for some girl-stuff and Groot was going to disarm the bomb with Rocket. The duo of The Thing and Venom heads for a pub in Alpha Centauri, leaving him saying there is no more room. So, Drax decides to pursue his life's mission of killing Thanos and Rocket lends him his rusty space worthy vehicle Space Sucker! However, the ship's system failed and he is forced to crash land in an unnamed moon and then walked for long in search for a mechanic.

He came across Ora's bar after walking miles only to meet and greeted by Terrax the Tamer there. Angry and frustrated over the matters he has been enduring for past few days, Drax decides to take his temper out on the former herald of Galactus for now. Surprisingly enough, Terrax is not here to fight and offers to buy him a drink. Though he is not much of a talker himself, he listens as his host describes how he was previously obliterated into nothingness and then found himself alive again.

As Drax was looking for a mechanic to repair his broken ship, the barkeep Ora takes him to her workshop and offers to fix his vehicle if he helps to catch a thief who has been stealing from her. He was looking for Terrax to help him catch the thieves and when they meet outside, Drax engaged in a fight against a band of slavers on street and Terrax joined in. Ora took out the last one while Drax unsuccessfully chases the goons to stop them from getting away. He realizes that he was actually roped in to rescue children from those kidnappers.

In the middle of these chaos and confusion, someone stole the Axe of Terrax the Tamer. Unable to get him up at his feet, Drax leaves a grieving Terrax behind while investigating scrap-metal thieves, also the reason behind a massive disappearance of people. He sees a couple of raiders plucking up pieces of his ship and gives a chase. One of the raiders led him to their secret hideout, where trying to free the tortured people, he is taken down. Eventually he finds himself in an arena against The Serpent AKA Fin Fang Foom.

Drax – The Galaxy's Best Detective

Considered as the tattooed muscle-head for Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax is rarely left alone to pursue solo adventures. So, writer CM Punk and Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Vs. Carnage) came up with a plot for Drax the Destroyer to send him on his life's mission that storyline is illustrated by artist Scott Hepburn for Marvel in 2016. Current members from The Guardians showed up in the story at the very beginning and Drax gets to tag along with a former heralds of Galactus; Terrax the Tamer for a very unusual team-up experience, who was thought to be killed off by Phoenix during Avengers/X-Men War.

With the revolution of live-action film franchise in recent years, Marvel is re-inventing their various popular characters by putting them on solo adventures in their own monthly series for a while to see how it goes. Also, bringing a legendary figure like Fin Fang Foom into this story for something that is very personal to him was also something that felt fresh. This storyline collects issues #01-05 from the first ongoing volume of Drax limited series and is then continued in the next arc titled "The Children's Crusade".
