Marvel announces Guardians of Infinity

With a while to wait for the next installation to the “Guardians of the Galaxy” cinematic universe, Marvel is giving us some goodies to help fans through our anticipation. Not only is there going to be a Disney XD animated series, as well as the already announced Star-Lord, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Drax the Destroyer comics, but now Marvel has announced a totally new concept that will bring different Guardians characters into the fold: Guardians of Infinity.  

Offering up an opportunity for readers to experience brand new time-traveling adventures, Guardians of Infinity will see the combination of characters from the Guardians 3000 comic book series, with the more universally known characters from the Guardians of the Galaxy. The new series will be written by Guardians 3000 writer Dan Abnett with art by Carlo Barberi. 

According to the Marvel, Groot, Rocket and Drax have bit off more than they can chew, and are about to get into even more trouble than usual, when the Guardians 3000 step into help. How will this go over with the notorious crew? 

Each issue is also going to feature a backup story by big Marvel names, the first being a Rocket Raccoon and The Thing team-up story by Jason Latour and Jim Cheung. And on top of these two teams getting together, a whole new team will be introduced, the Guardians 1000. The cover art is looking pretty fantastic, with plenty of detailed characters involved, so comic books fans have a lot of anticipation already for when Guardians of Infinity hits shelves in December. 

As for the cinematic Guardians of the Galaxy crew, they are set to take the big screen over in their second showing on May 5, 2017.
