Infinity Wars wiped the slate clean for the Guardians. The roster is no longer beholden to the unbelievably popular movie characters. It’s all up in the air now. Anyone could join the ragtag space crew. Even you!
All will be revealed in Guardians of the Galaxy #1, from Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw, the very same team that absolutely nailed Thanos Wins.
Let’s take Cosmic Ghost Rider as a given, since that dude is mega popular and most definitely on the team. Straight from my bookie, here are the Vegas odds on this new roster.
Peter Quill (No Payout)
He’s on it. Ain’t no way he’s not. The centerpiece of the modern face of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Son of Spartax is absolutely there.
Groot (2 to 1 Against)
By far the most popular Guardian, this talking tree (who has expanded his vocabulary quite a bit as of late) will almost certainly be riding GotG.
Yondu (5 to 1 Against)
Considering the sheer iconography of MCYondU, it’s a shocker the current 616 doesn’t have a working version of this guy running around. Don’t count him out.
TIE Beta Ray Bill/Silver Surfer (10 to 1 Against)
Geoff Shaw draws the living hell out of these guys and Donny Cates seems to be in romantic love with them, so they are likely on board as well.
Terrible Eye (1,000,000 to 1 Against)
Gwenpool was tragically cancelled. Terrible Eye was rad and could use a job. Uh, PAGING DOCTOR MARVEL??!?
Spragg the Living Hill (My bookie claims this is “Not listed” and “insane”)
Is there room on the Guardians for a villain that has tangled with both She-Hulk AND Thor? No. He wouldn’t fit on the ship. He is a hill.
Place your bets and welcome in the a new era for the Guardians with Guardians of the Galaxy #1, on shelves now!
