This is my Guardians of the Galaxy. While things were reworked awhile ago with what we saw in the movies as being done in the comics back in the previous decade, the 30th century Guardians of the Galaxy is what I grew up with as a kid and now Marvel Comics is bringing them back with a series called Guardians 3000. The first issue is set to land on October 1st, 2014 with Dan Abnett writing with Gerardo Sandoval on the artwork.
Check out the main cover by Alex Ross and his sketch variant as well as the other variants that are being produced. And, of course, some of the pages from the first issue as well!
Plot concept: Brought together by fate, Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex, Starhawk and Charlie-27 battle to liberate an enslaved galaxy from the menace of the Badoon! But what happens when they discover something behind the Badoon…something even worse than they could’ve ever imagined?
The very future is in danger, and its only salvation rests in the hands of a ragtag group of bombastic freedom fighters! But to save the future, they must look to the past, and the discovery of a mysterious young girl named Geena Drake could hold the key to saving all of reality. If you thought the Marvel Universe was dangerous, just wait till you get a look at it in the 31st Century!

3014 would make it 31st century but who’s counting 😉 Looking forward to this series in less than a month!
Oh, I know, but I was talking about the ones that I was reading in the 70’s and 80’s which were late 30th century stuff, not 3014 😀
Whoo. I’m enthused about a classic Guardians (fighting Badoon!), but that Yondu in a couple of the shots� Hurm.
On the other hand, that Alex Ross cover very much YES THANK YOU PLEASE. That’s lovely.
Their first appearance was in 3007 (Marvel super heroes 18).
