Wow, Asgardians of the Galaxy caught me entirely by surprise. When you mash up a pile of C-list heroes in Marvel's cosmic settings, you typically get baffling drivel. Not the case here! There is a clear plot, the heroes are fun and interesting (and even get nice backstory touches), and the whole thing actually ties in to major events in smart ways that don't bog the story down. I'm shocked!It's a Macguffin plot, but a good one: Nebula's stolen an extremely potent weapon, and now Angela has to pu...

Mildly entertaining... I wonder, did this series only get written because of Thor's laugh line at the end of Avengers Endgame? The heroes fighting in this volume are all strictly C or D list. The idea of having Angela, a black hole of charisma, leading the team is a total joke. She has zero personality. Adding in Skurge, Thunderstrike Jr. (?!?),Brunnhilde (Valkyrie), and, who could forget, Frog Thor (!) has to be some elaborate gag by the boys at Marvel. ("Guys, listen to this. You know how Thor...

Ugh, this was such a waste. Cool idea for a much larger story becomes a yawn fest. Some despite having very high stakes, all tension has been drained from the story and plot. Angela and Brunhilde deserve better than this.

Sort of but kinda doesn't spin out of Infinity Wars. Nebula geta an Asgardian weapon and destroys some planets to impress Gamora, I guess? So Angela rounds up a bunch of ex-Thors to stop her. I did like seeing Throg again. The story is just OK. So is the art and coloring. It's all just bland. It's never a good sign when this many artists are needed to complete 5 issues.

United by a mysteriously reanimated Destroyer, Valkyrie, Throg, Angela, Skurge, and Thunderstrike are the Asgardians of the Galaxy, and they're the only ones who can stop Nebula from unleashing an army of the dead against the universe!I like the idea behind this book - Cullen Bunn's Fearless Defenders run is a book I return to again and again for inspiration, and this is kind of a spiritual successor, but without the...fun, behind it. It's a good little series with decent ideas and a great cast

*Read for the YA Reading Challenge 2020* Not great, not terrible. This is like a 3.5 star book, it's just hard to get invested in some of these characters I've never met before. It was fairly fun for a rag-tag team of misfits type book. This is "War of the Realms" adjacent, but not being current on that story line didn't take me out of this one. I didn't realize that there was a frog with the power of Thor, but I'm here for it. This was a nice distraction and a fun space-book.

I read this because I love Angela (though after her stand-alones she's mostly reduced to cameos and has lost her personality I still hope she'll make a come-back) and I try to keep an eye on all Lokis and their timelines (a confusing endeavour). Was pleasantly surprised by Valkyrie and Annabell as well (and I guess other characters also had their moments). Many queer women, which I do like very much...Other than that though I found it too episodic for my tastes and glossing over the things I wou...

I can usually read a graphic novel in about an hour, so when it takes me two days to trudge through one, I know there is a problem. Let's unpack this thing:First of all, nothing about Nebula makes sense here. She wants to prove that she is the most deadly woman alive instead of Gamora, so to do this she gets a world-ending artifact. But isn't Gamora deadly because of her skills? That would be like proving that I am the best at karate because I have a machine gun. So using this world-ending weapo...

I love Angela. She's one of my favorite characters in the Marvel universe, and she and Sera are one of my favorite couples. Most of that is thanks to the excellent writers who attend her, so when I saw Marguerite Bennett wasn't writing this comic, I was wary. I went into Asgardians of the Galaxy, Vol 1: The Infinity Armada with low expectations, and, I'm sad to say, the story didn't even meet those.This by-the-numbers space opera is so apparent in how it's just ticking boxes that I was bored to

Fun romp, as a bunch of Asgardian c-listers band together on a quest into space.I like all those things.Goofy fun that gets a bit derailed by War of the Realms and then kind of ran out of steam.Wether the plan all along was the title would only last until the crossover or if we were unlucky, I don't know.Nothing earth shattering, but a fun read.

I feel like this could have been better, and that starts with the roster. Angela and Valkyrie are fine, and I'll even take Throg for the amusement value. But surely there was a better Asgardian hanging around than Skurge, who I can only assume is here because of the prominent part he played in Ragnarok. And Kevin is just a waste of space. The plot felt half-baked, though I did like the resolution, and I'm invested enough in enough of the characters to keep going.

SUPER FAST REVIEW:I expected it to be different... and better... but it’s not.Okay this book isn’t bad, there are some things that are quite enjoyable but it’s possibly one of the most standard, by-the-numbers superhero comics I’ve ever read. There is very little making this feel any different. I felt like I’ve read this before (though I hadn’t, just a bunch of stories that are very similar to it) and in the end I felt nothing towards the book.Nothing made me think “well that was shit” but nothi...

Review - https://youtu.be/v1iMmU96A5g

As I found out while reading, I should have read MULTIPLE different comics before this. But wow, even without those backstories, this was amazing. I’m so excited to read Volume 2. Guardians of the galaxy x Asgardians, the combination I never knew I needed.

Angela might be the most boring character I've read this year.Also, the team sucks. Bunch of nobodies no one cares about, at least I don't. Plot sucks, dialogue sucks, the attempts at jokes between the D-Listers suck. Everything here sucks and I regret buying it. I never liked Angela in any comic i read, thought I'd give this a try cuz it's Cullen and I like him most of the time but it did nothing for me. I'm pointing all the blame to Angela because the rest of the team sucks and is not interest...

Marvel what the hell was this

I really love the characters of Valkyrie and Angela; it has been somewhat mystifying to me all of the haters and nay-sayers. I think Angela is a super cool character - however this volume showed her a little lacking. She wasn’t as three dimensional as she has been in other titles. Other than that I thought this was a pretty good start to a new series.I forgot to put that this was part of the ‘what to read after seeing Endgame’ recommendations (I already had it because again, I love Angela). I wo...

I like much of the art. The story is kinda crap.Also: Throg (frog Thor. Because, of course). WTF, Marvel? Are you just gonna go to the zoo every time you need a ridiculous character?Allow me:Thpanda (panda Thor)Thechidna (echidna Thor)Thcoati (coati mundi Thor. Pronounced 'thquaty')Thloth (not the fastest Thor)Thormoeba (a micro-Thorganism, if you will)Thpangolin (you get the idea)ThwombatOoh! Wait-- THORANGUTANG!My work here is done.

Wtf I've just read? Especially after a very good Guardians run!!!

This spins out of "Infinity Wars" and by that I mean it makes two references to vague plot summaries from Infinity Wars. You could read the back of the book advert for Infinity Wars and know more than enough to read this. The short of it? Gamora did stuff, Nebula is jealous and is doing some other stuff to make senpai mad. Enter this new team of Thor-adjacent characters to fight.This is a book made for me. Not in execution or anything like that. But I love and will read any Thor-related book and...
