Eve shows Rider and Star Lord what they've been hiding - a gigantic Infinity Stone. They return to The Rock with a plan... They tell Adsit they found a Nova graveyard and space pirates had taken over the outpost. Meanwhile Rocket continues his internal affairs investigation, even getting a promotion.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Drax finally finds Xian and his Nova crew. The explanation that Thanos simply broke out of his prisoner transport doesn't fool him. He tells Drax they threw Thanos into a black hole, while another corpsman reveals another group of Ultron-infected refugees. Xian moves to execute them but Drax stops him. Suddenly one of them speaks to him telepathically.
It turns out that Thanos was released as a bargain that he wouldn't attack Xian's true masters - The Raptors. Drax moves to arrest the traitors but one of them heard he was now a pacifist. Turns out he heard wrong. The criminals board the ship and Drax explains to the refugees they won't be safe anywhere they go. He instead gifts them a shuttle and they leave, in the Guardians' favor.
When he returns to The Rock, he tells Adsit that Xian's crew were Shi'ar spies. Peter Quill admonishes Gamora for not telling him Rich Rider was alive. She asks if they found anything interesting and he repays the favor to her by telling her that no, they did not. Drax boards The Milano feeling depressed. He puts on a Springsteen tune and almost plays his saxophone before changing his mind.
The issue wraps on Nowhere, with one of the Groot-clones attacking an alien. He calls for backup and gets it in the form of a flame thrower, burning the giant flora to death. There Cosmo the Spacedog has heeded his call. He later asks for his helmet. He needs to find the Guardians of the Galaxy - and with that, this issue is to be continued.
Obviously it's always nice to check in with one of the original Guardians lineups, and with Nova and soon to be Cosmo, it appears that's the gameplan. This series concludes in just 2 more issues, later to coincide with what I assume is synergy with the Infinity stone quests. How long until the return of Adam Warlock? Guess we'll have to wait and see. For this one, I give it an 8/10.

| When you wanna find the criminals, hire a criminal. |
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Drax finally finds Xian and his Nova crew. The explanation that Thanos simply broke out of his prisoner transport doesn't fool him. He tells Drax they threw Thanos into a black hole, while another corpsman reveals another group of Ultron-infected refugees. Xian moves to execute them but Drax stops him. Suddenly one of them speaks to him telepathically.

| Wait - Drax is a pacifist. He won't hurt us... right?! |
It turns out that Thanos was released as a bargain that he wouldn't attack Xian's true masters - The Raptors. Drax moves to arrest the traitors but one of them heard he was now a pacifist. Turns out he heard wrong. The criminals board the ship and Drax explains to the refugees they won't be safe anywhere they go. He instead gifts them a shuttle and they leave, in the Guardians' favor.

| Drax blows it with another chick. |

| I've come to believe Quill's musical selection is more like in the movies. I don't think he's a Springsteen kind of guy. |
