COMIC CONNECTIONS: Guardians of the Galaxy – Nowhere is Safe

Episode 28 - Nowhere is Safe

When they first arrived in theaters in 2014, the Guardians of the Galaxy were near complete unknowns to most moviegoers, and were only vaguely familiar to most comic fans as well.  Part of the Marvel “cosmic” stories, the group had been introduced in the 1960s, but had undergone significant changes in the 21st century.  This week we are going to take a look at a number of Guardians comic stories from, different volumes, allowing Duane to see the evolution of the Guardians over time, and letting us find out what he thinks of Marvel’s galactic characters.
