Marvel has made it clear that their new Guardians of the Galaxy series is accessible to anyone hoping to learn more about the team before they make their live action debut next year, but four digital comics are now also being released in order to offer fans a chance to get to know the characters a little better. Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comics is written by Brian Michael Bendis and pencilled by Michael Avon Oeming, and it takes full advantage of the digital format as did the Avengers Vs. X-Men specials that Marvel release last year. "They are very unique individuals but there’s something very classical about them as a group, like Robin Hood and his Merry Men, like Firefly, like Han Solo and Chewbacca," Bendis says of the team. "The Guardians are characters that have risen above their terrible upbringing and have chosen to do something worthwhile in this lifetime. That makes them heroes. The fact that they are so unique, the fact that most of them are one-of-a-kind, makes them all the more heroic." The first issue is now available to download and a selection of artwork from that can be found below.

Read the series that started around 2008. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Great series

Honestly...somewhat obscure choice for a property to develop...no matter how cool they are, they are still no a group even too many long-time Marvel readers are familiar with.

I just read this. The artwork isnt for me, some others might like it. Was kinda boring. Sorry. Its free though so thats a plus. Im still gonna check out the other three when they drop.

I was kind of hoping this would explain to me more of Drax's story. I've started reading the 2008 series recently, but I don't plan on going back and re-reading every single story these characters ever appeared in. This doesn't really tell me anything about his personality or background, it's just a fight scene. Still it's free, so can't complain too much. It was aite, I'll still check the other infinites out. 0.1 was fantastic none the less, looking forward to the main series

MAO does a good Mignola rendition nowwa days! So does Michael Avon Oeming!
OhThePurdue - 3/6/2013, 8:27 PM
Brandon Routh for Drax.
BigL - 3/6/2013, 8:32 PM
Yeah I'm not a fan of the artwork, but it's a free comic so whatever. Will the 3 other comics be free?

Great! I don't know a lot about GOTG but this will help.
