How
ominous is this cover? Charlie-27 was
dying, choking on a blood clot at the end of the last issue, and he’s nowhere
to be found on the cover here. Is this a
sign of things to come? A subtle signal
of the demise of one of the founding members of the group? We’ll have to read on to find out.
We open
right where we left off, with Yellowjacket revealing herself to Nikki and
Charlie dying on a table. No sooner do
we join the action than Yellowjacket shrinks down and flies into the mouth of
Charlie. She shoots the blood clot,
rupturing it and allowing Charlie to breathe.
I’m not sure if this does any irreparable damage to Charlie, I doubt it
as this is comics, but at least Yellowjacket has proved her usefulness so
far. We then get a call from Martinex to
check on the status of Charlie. He is
currently en route with the rest of the Galactic Guardians.
After a
brief interlude that foreshadows the next challenge for the Guardians (something
that has stowed away on the outside of their ship) we head back to New York
City where Rancor and the mutants are running the rebuilding of the realiteevee
refinery. Doom has put a program into
place where the humans will work around the clock to finish repairs on the
facility. When they eventually die from
working so hard, it is up to the mutants to bring more workers in. Pretty harsh, but classic Doom.
Back on
the Guardians’ ship, Yellowjacket is formally admitted to the team. The celebration cannot last however as there
is turbulence that Vance determines is caused by something outside. Aleta heads outside to check it out, and sees
that there is indeed something out there, surrounding the ship. She uses more power than she has ever had
before to destroy the bands that were around the ship. 
We now
cut to the Galactic Guardians who are currently on their way to aid the
Guardians. They get to a point in the
universe where everything, even the universe itself is actually decaying in
front of their eyes. Before we can see
what is causing this, we cut away, but fear not because the next issue is all
about the Galactic Guardians. 
We
briefly cut back to the Guardians’ ship where Nikki and Talon are telling Vance
about how Charlie became the chosen gladiator, and how he lost his hair, before
we are shot to the dark dimension where Krugarr is traveling. He is ambushed from behind and held captive
while a mysterious villain exclaims how he wants to kill The Ancient One (Dr.
Strange in the future). 
Back in New York, Rancor tries to
sneak up on Doom to impale him, but is caught.
Instead of just fighting him, Rancor talks to him instead, asking him
why he’s looking at a projection of the moon.
It turns out he’s looking for the Inhumans, but can’t seem to locate
them. Another villain, one that is
watching Doom watch the moon, chimes in.
We don’t yet know who this villain is though, but like most villains, he
wants “ultimate revenge”.
We are now back with the Guardians
as they experience more turbulence. They
again look outside and this time they see that it is Dormammu, the old Dr.
Strange villain, that has ahold of their ship.
Next Issue: It’s all Galactic Guardians all the time as
the Guardians of the Galaxy wait their turn.
