After the previous two issues sent teams of the Guardians onto separate missions on a badoon prison planet without really explaining why, we finally get a little backstory...albeit not much of one. After Gamora was injured shortly after Quill was being banned from his kingship on Spartax, we find the group together again talking about where to find "her". Only problem is that they never really explain who "she" is.
In this issue, Agent Venom and Groot head out to do.. well,they don't really explain what they're doing. All I know is that they encounter some skrulls and Flash Thompson isn't happy about it. He starts whipping their asses, and in between Groot's "I Am Groot" dialogue, fights them until they explain they've been rendered enslaved and powerless by the badoon. Their conversation turns out to be a little short though, when their captors decide to make an entrance. Groot, Venom, and company make quick work of them, and as Flash was once a decorated war veteran, he vows to do the right thing, which turns out to be rescuing tens of thousands of skrulls before badoon reinforcements come back to retake their prison planet.
I love Brian Michael Bendis, but this book is beginning to look like filler. it's a little beneath a title which depicts marvel properties which deserve a much higher profile. Not to mention he breaks a cardinal rule of what makes me enjoy comics and that's skrulls. What's next? The Starjammers? I give this issue a 6/10.
