The power of Starhawk

Guardians of the galaxy

I gave it a star for the inclusion of the Topographical Man alone. Defeated by, I guess, (view spoiler)[Nikki getting it on with Vance right in front of it? Or it was Vance? (hide spoiler)] Vague, but funny to think about. 

This was some great sci-fi fun, but don't go into this expecting to get to know the Guardians of the Galaxy from the movies. This is the OG team, with some very episodic OG team adventures. The majority of this particular volume seemed to center around Starhawk though, a character I have mixed feelings about, particularly after reading this one. A rather unexpectedly dark twist to Starhawk's story though, and the repercussions aren't included within this volume. 

Good stories though, I particularly like Nikki and her role on the team.
