The
member of the Punishers that had Vance in his sights at the end of the last
issue (the one with the douchey reverse Mohawk) gets a shot off, but it’s not
as true as he would have liked because of a claw that comes flying in to hit
the shooter right across the face. Vance
still gets shot in the head though, which is not only a bad thing in general,
but it also puts a hole in his containment suit, exposing his skin to the
air. The rest of the Guardians, along
with the Comandeers, spring into action to bring down the Punishers while
Hollywood takes Vance back to the base to receive some medical attention. Charlie rallies the troops which apparently
rallies the loins of Belle, one of the Comandeers. She gets all googly- eyed at him and his big
gun (no really, it’s an actual gun). A
gun that he use to straight up demolish a building that the Punishers are all
standing on. The head of the Punisher
organization, the one with the strange skull painting on his face, has decided
to enter the fray, along with all of the other members of his gang, so this
fight is about to get really one-sided. 
At that
moment we head to the planet Courg (the planet that the Guardians were on in
the first few issues as they fought The Stark).
Martinex has gone back to make sure everything is kosher since they last
saw the dog-people of Courg. One of the
Courgians survived and now wants revege on Martinex though, but we won’t see
how that ends until next issue.
Right
now, we have to head back and watch Yondu go nuts. He went from an emo baby to getting a new
hand and finally living up to his warrior status. In fact, he straight up chops a guy’s head
off (off panel of course). This is the
Yondu that we should be seeing in this comic, not the one that cries because
the girl he likes doesn’t like him back.
After a
brief few panels where Nikki rides a floating scooter, we see Talon (a horrible
character that I’m sure was brought in to complete the “snarky team member with
claws” requirement for a ‘90’s super team) go to visit Krugar (remember him
from the Annual? He’s the new Dr.
Strange) in order to get him to heal Vance.
Back to the action, the Guardians
sure look like they are about to win until the Punisher Tank shows up. This series is supposed to be set in the thirty-first
century but the tank sure looks like something out of Liefeld’s wet dream. Guns spikes and a giant skull, all requisite
pieces to a truly 90’s spectacle.
Charlie tries to shoot it with his giant gun to no avail. Baqck in the base, Vance is resting in a
containment unit when Krugar shows up to help him and when we head back to the
battle we finally get to see the full reveal of Talon. He’s about as douchey as you would expect.
Next Issue: More
Talon than you could ever want. Trust
me, just what we’ve seen so far is enough for me.
