Could The New Infinity Watch Be The Old Guardians Of The Galaxy?
Answering questions on CBR, Rick Remender gave an answer to the following question.
I have to say — when you showed Immortus's Infinity Watch, my heart skipped a beat. The idea of you writing Adam Warlock makes me indescribably happy. Do you have any plans to write anything with cosmic characters, or have you at least ever wanted to? Who are some of your favorite cosmic characters?
We have not seen the last of Immortus or his Infinity Watch. And we didn't even see all of the members of the team yet. I have big plans in my head for Infinity Watch; you'll get a clear idea of what in "Uncanny Avengers" #23. I dig Mar-Vell most of the cosmic characters.
After reading last weeks Guardians Of The Galaxy, with the return of the old gang (mostly) could it be that the remaining members of the Watch could be the missing members of the original GOTG?
Of course, Yondu, had a very prominent place in the All New Marvel Now promo (right). Could Infinity Watch be the new name for the original Guardians Of The Galaxy as a whole, instead?
And what of original Watch-leader, Adam Warlock – we published how Jim Starlin had been told he couldn't use him in his Thanos books. Newsarama got some further details of what he was told, when and why.
"When I started on The Infinity Revelation, I asked about Adam's status, was told no one had any plans for him and that he was dead," Starlin told Newsarama. "So I brought him back to life in the graphic novel and made plans to use him further."
Upon the conclusion of his work writing and drawing the graphic novel, Starlin said he began working on the next project he had planned for Adam Warlock and Thanos, titled The Infinity Duel.
"I turned in a plot to Tom Brevoort, which included Adam Warlock, and about two months later Tom informed me about the hold but said he couldn't explain it to me," Starlin claimed. "That's when I took on the Savage Hulk story arc, to keep busy until the hold was lifted and built up some more advanced storyline for the proposed project (The Infinity Duel)."
According to Starlin, he finished penciling his four-issue arc of Savage Hulk last week but found the Adam Warlock situation had remained unchanged.
"The hold is still in place and, apparently, shows no signs of being lifted any time in the future," Starlin told Newsarama Tuesday. "So I'm moving on."
And what, if anything, has all this to do with AXIS?
