Various Reading Orders/Collected Edition Details for the Guardians of the Galaxy
In this post I will lay out the reading order and collected editions info for the âoriginalâ Guardians of the Galaxy team set in the 31st century. I will also provide reading orders on a few of the modern Guardians with more obscure backgrounds. Without further ado, check out the lists below and have a blast.
Original Guardians Reading Order
This is a pretty much complete reading order for the original team. As discussed in the other post, most of the early parts are written by Steve Gerber. Then the major Korvac Saga crossover by Jim Shooter. Then the 1990 series is written about half and half by Jim Valentino and Michael Gallagher. The final three pieces are written by Dan Abnett.
Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 18 Marvel Two-in-One 4-5 Giant-Size Defenders 5 Defenders Vol 1 26-29
Marvel Presents 3-12 Thor Vol 1 Annual 6 Avengers Vol 1 167-168, 170-177 Avengers 181 Ms. Marvel Vol 1 23 Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 86 Marvel Two-in-One 61-63, 69 Sensational She-Hulk 6 Fantastic Four Vol 1 Annual 24 Thor Vol 1 Annual 16 Silver Surfer Vol 3 Annual 4
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 Annual 1 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 1-25 Guardians of the Galaxy Annual 2 Guardians of the Galaxy 26-29 Guardians of the Galaxy 30-39 Guardians of the Galaxy Annual 3 Thor Corps 2-3 Guardians of the Galaxy 40-47 Galactic Guardians 1-4 Guardians of the Galaxy 48-50 Guardians of the Galaxy Annual 4 Guardians of the Galaxy 51-58 New Warriors Vol 1 68 Guardians of the Galaxy 59-62
Korvac Saga 1-4 Guardians 3000 1-8 Guardians of Infinity 1-8
Collected Editions
My recommendations: The original Korvac Saga is a must read for all Marvel fans. It is one of the true classic stories of the Jim Shooter era. The Guardians being in it is just a convenient bonus. If one somehow prefers the Guardians over the Avengers, might as well grab that second Tomorrowâs Avengers trade. The first one is easily recommended though. All of the early 1970s Steve Gerber oddities between one book. The Jim Valentino era is worth exploring if one enjoys pre-Image 1990s Marvel comics.
After many DnA fans continued to grumble about Brian Michael Bendisâ take on the Guardians in Marvel Now, the publisher relented and gave Abnett (now split from longtime writing partner Andy Lanning) some minor gigs writing the obscure future Guardians. Despite being a huge fan of his work, I havenât gotten around to checking this chunk out since it was always presented and discussed as the pity project.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrowâs Avengers Vol 1 TPB Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 18, Marvel Two-in-One 4-5, Giant-Size Defenders 5, Defenders Vol 1 26-29, Marvel Presents 3-12
Guardians of the Galaxy: Earth Shall Overcome HC Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 18, Marvel Two-in-One 4-5, Giant-Size Defenders 5, Defenders Vol 1 26-29
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Power of Starhawk HC Marvel Presents 3-12
Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrowâs Avengers Vol 2 TPB Thor Vol 1 Annual 6, Avengers Vol 1 167-168, 170-177, 181, Ms. Marvel Vol 1 23, Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 86, Marvel Two-in-One 61-63, 69

Modern Guardians Backstories
Star-Lord
Marvel Preview 4, 11, 14-15, 18 Marvel Super Special 10 Marvel Spotlight Vol 2 6-7 Marvel Premiere 61
Notes: Star-Lordâs stories here have minor inconsistencies. But also some quality art from John Byrne and Carmine Infantino. The modern Star-Lord, especially after the huge conflicts of Annihilation and Conquest is nothing like this kitschy spacefarer.
All of Peter Quillâs early adventures are collected in a paperback called Star-Lord: Guardian of the Galaxy. It also includes the strange Timothy Zahn (Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy) written miniseries starring Sinjin Quarrel.
Rocket Raccoon
Marvel Preview 7 Incredible Hulk Vol 1 271 Rocket Raccoon 1-4 Quasar 15
Notes: The Mantlo/Mignola miniseries is a beauty, but nothing here is particularly compelling. The origin and characterization for Rocket was drastically changed by the Annihilation era crew as well.
All of Rocketâs early adventures can be found in the Rocket Raccoon: Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant premiere classic hardcover. It can all also be found in the Rocket Raccoon and Groot Complete Collection (TPB), which also includes Tales to Astonish 13 and their backup stories from the two Annihilators miniseries.
Groot
Tales to Astonish 13 Sensational Spider-Man Vol 1 -1 Nick Furyâs Howling Commandos 2-6
Notes: This has almost nothing at all to do with Groot as he is known today.
Mantis
Avengers Vol 1 112-116 Defenders 9 Avengers 117 Defenders 10 Avengers 118 Defenders 11 Avengers 119-124 Captain Marvel Vol 1 31-32 Avengers 125 Captain Marvel 33 Avengers 126 Giant-Size Avengers 1 Avengers 127-129 Giant-Size Avengers 2 Avengers 130-132 Giant-Size Avengers 3 Avengers 133-135 Giant-Size Avengers 4 Silver Surfer Vol 3 3-9 Silver Surfer Annual 1 West Coast Avengers Vol 2 37 West Coast Avengers Annual 3 West Coast Avengers 38-39 Silver Surfer 20 Fantastic Four Vol 1 323-325 Avengers: Celestial Quest 1-8
Notes: Mantis is wild. As discussed in my post specifically addressing her, Mantis has hopped across publishers. Those excursions are not covered here. The important chunk is the Celestial Madonna Saga from Avengers 129 to Giant-Size 4. Celestial Quest is a disappointing and disjointed follow up. Even still, Abnett and Lanning mostly blaze a new path with her, ignoring most of this baggage.
One can find Mantisâ Marvel adventures in the Avengers/Defenders War (TPB/HC), Avengers: The Complete Celestial Madonna (TPB), Silver Surfer: Freedom Epic Collection (TPB), and Avengers: Celestial Quest (TPB) collections.
Bug
Micronauts Vol 1 1-10 Micronauts Annual 1 Micronauts 11-23 Micronauts Annual 2 Micronauts 24-57 X-Men and the Micronauts 1-4 Micronauts 58-59 Micronauts Vol 2 1-20 Cable 38-39 Bug 1 Alpha Flight Vol 2 10-11 Captain Marvel Vol 4 6, 12, 15-16
Other characters such as Drax, Gamora, Adam Warlock, and Moondragon have much more extensive histories that are easier kept separate. Especially considering their involvement in the first and second eras of Marvelâs cosmic history mostly under the pen of Jim Starlin.
So hereâs a little project that Iâve been working on via Twitter! Iâve was thinking since we have different species all across the planet, why not try some but as variants of existing characters. Then they became their own thing overtime lol
Here are some notes for each species that Iâve designed below.
This is only Part 1! I will be making more of these in the future, so hope you guys like these!

Mech Sketch (Mean Bean Edition)
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, âwhatâs the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?â and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is âunofficialâ, and we know thatâs not the right word, but itâs the only word we can come up withâŚuntil finally itâs like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is âartificialâ.

Spiderman Eric Stanton Steve Ditko The Missing Link? Who Invented Spiderman?
Iâve written about Eric Stanton on my blog before (you can see those posts here). he is the single best (and my personal favorite) fetish artist/illustrator/cartoonist - bar none - thatâs lived. Thatâs quite a statement. But I feel itâs true.
Hereâs an interesting tidbit Iâve found on Vintage Sleaze to add to my Eric Stanton posts:
For some eight years, from 1958 to 1966, Spiderman co-creator Steve Ditko shared a studio in Hellâs Kitchen at 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue with Fetish illustrator Eric Stanton. Earlier the two had attended art school at the forerunner of the School of Visual Arts, then known as The Cartoonists and Illustrators School. Did they help each other with their drawings? Duh. Did Stanton help invent Spiderman? Stanton has been quoted on the subject. âEric Stanton drew his pictures in indian ink and they were then hand-coloured by Ditkoâ according to Eric Stanton: For the Man Who Knows His Place (Taschen 1997.) In 1988 Stanton addressed the issue of Spiderman directly in The Steve Ditko Reader (Pure Imagination, Brooklyn, NY, 2002.) He minimizes his work on Ditkoâs pieces, yet says they âworked on storyboards together and I added a few ideas. But the whole thing was created by Steve on his own⌠I think I added the business about the webs coming out of his handsâ The illustration above (spider logo, spider webs and big dames!) is credited to Stanton and appeared in Diabolique Magazine, issue number 3. Diabolique was published by Leonard Burtman and appeared in 1962âŚ1963 at the latest. The publication has no date, but it comes from Selbee, the corporate name Lenny was using at the time. Burtman published Stantonâs work regularly during the time period, and I believe the artist was even credited as Art Director on some of the Selbee publications. Spiderman made his debut in Amazing Fantasy in 1962, quite likely the exact same year this Stanton illustration appeared in Diabolique, while the two young artists were sharing a studio. A number of writers and comic historians have both documented and speculated on the artistic relationship between the two cartoonists, some approaching from the comic book side of things, others from fetish art⌠but to my knowledge this is the first time since the original publication of Diabolique the illustrations above have been shownâŚwebs and all. Illustrations from âBlack Widow Sororityâ by Stanton, inside back cover Diabloique Magazine Number 3, circa 1960-1963 (No Date in Publication) Selbee Associates, New York. Collection Victor Minx

Honey the cat icons from STH #269!
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
AS IN
IS THAT A BEE CHARM ON HONEYâS PHONE?
IF SO
SOMETHING SOMETHING
I still canât believe that a Fighting Vipers fursona is canon in the Sonic series
yeah that
she wasnât even finished originally, kind of weird to see her in an actual comic
I donât care if Honey started out as a character hidden in Sonic the Fightersâ code, Archie better darn well make some Sonic character out of the rest of the Vipers. Which is unlikely.
Well, I did whip up a âGraceâ that appeared in a crowd scene swooning over Knux albeit with different colors and I drew Jane as a Boar in a brief cameo since we werenât allowed to directly reference Jane. Also I drew Jay Bahn fanart for lulz though Iâm thinking of reevaluating him as a cooler animal.
Holy Smokes! You did a great job on Janeâs design! I love how you use Stormâs body for inspiration and found a way to make a female version of that type look nice and gel with the cast. For those who want to make their FC have a different body type but still make it fit with the cast, I would recommend studying @nerfuffleâs design for Jane.
