Guardians Of The Galaxy #13 Review: Cosmic Adventure
Throneworld under threat! The nascent alliance of the Kree and Skrull peoples calls Throneworld 2 its capital. Still, the techno-organic Progenitors have come to play, grabbing citizens, subjecting them to impromptu mutagenic experiments, and consuming whatever is left for research purposes. This calls for a response from Emperor Hulkling, leader of the alliance, and his husband, court magician Wiccan.
The character moments here have some nice resonance — Star-Lord is back from the perception of death, the Emperor makes a dashing figure on the battlefield, Nova makes a show of being a tough guy and the appearance at the end? That's the way to make a freaking entrance. This Al Ewing script excels in single moments but doesn't connect those moments so well.
There's fantastic visual work done here by Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee, and Cory Petit, giving some fantastic scenes (that last scene, for certain), great action, and a crowd shot that's really impressive. It's well worth noting that the matching jackets are a great touch and seeing the Super-Skrull coordinating everything from the big board.
If you love cosmic adventure, this is enough fun for a momentary diversion, but it feels like it's intended for the trade, not giving you the whole business in this single issue installment. RATING: HONORABLE MENTION.

Guardians Of The Galaxy #13
7/10
Setting the stage with cults and threats from beyond, the Guardians are just as dysfunctional as ever as they save the galaxy.
