Drax and Gamora stab stuff, Starlord and Rocket shoot stuff, Groot is a giant tree. This isn't a proper Galactus where you get to talk about the power cosmic for 2 hours. No telepathic Russian dogs, no psychic martial artist, no avatar of death, no cosmic light bands.

While I like Peter Quill, it's really hard to present him as 'superheroic'. He's seriously outpowered by just about everything he meets.

Savok · 07-15-2012, 11:59 PM

Kinda the point.

bryan · 07-16-2012, 12:53 AM

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think even tho he's the leader of the group he'll be put in the background in the movie, which sucks.

muddi900 · 07-16-2012, 02:23 AM

Kinda like Cap

bryan · 07-16-2012, 03:43 AM

Yeah Cap did cross my mind. It'll be even worse for Starlord, cause he's not even peak human.

How Jack Kirby's Art Helped the CIA Rescue Diplomats in 1979

Savok · 07-17-2012, 06:02 AM

Hah, sounds more like something the British would of done in WW2.

I think the series was recommended by someone here, Comixology is having a half-off sale on Skullkickers. The $11.99 book looks like a great deal.

bryan · 07-18-2012, 11:59 AM

What's it actually about? The art looks good.

KSmitty · 07-18-2012, 12:12 PM

If you have comixology you can download #0 for free, but from what I get from the series they're two mercs in a fantasy setting. The 11.99 deal is for the first two volumes/tpbs. I plan on getting it, I just wanted to spread the news.

muddi900 · 07-18-2012, 12:18 PM

It's still available for free as a webcomic. It's way behind, but you can atleast check out the first few issues.

Thanks, think you or someone else linked this earlier I remember reading this. Looks pretty good, will pick up the series.

Savok · 07-18-2012, 09:52 PM
