As revealed at MTV Geek, it looks like the new Point One teaser indicates the long assumed idea of Brian Michael Bendis writing Guardians of the Galaxy is likely to be true. Our source shared that with us before, but this new Point One teaser either a) reveals a new Star Lord or b) bastardizes Peter Quill to the point my fanboy rage meter bumps up to a 3 as opposed to its usual 1 (on a ten point scale), while also showing that, at least for this one-shot, Steve McNiven will be the artist.
Granted, like John Cassaday on Uncanny Avengers, we can assume it won’t be the world’s longest tenure on a book (or it won’t be monthly), but the idea of Bendis and McNiven on a Guardians book? That’s reason to celebrate my friends. This is assuredly another exciting Marvel Now! book to look out for.
That said, give me my precious Quill back. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it Marvel! Peter Quill for President!
Updated: our EIC Matt Meylikhov suggested it may be a young Peter Quill. That could be true – but I am still upset!
