 The Guardians pull into the Grandmaster's super trippy lair with a mission to deliver his brother, the Collector's fake egg, when Drax and Rocket's surliness threatens to sabotage the deal. None of that matters anyway, as Gamora blatantly tells him it's a forgery. Suddenly the egg begins to crack, and as the team prepares to be vaporized, out jumps the Collector with a vicious left hook. The two continue to fight when Quill talks Drax into intervening. He obliterates them, though the results are only temporary.

Drax never knows when he'll have to splatter someone.

   When they come to, the Grandmaster admits the entire ordeal was an attempt to open communication between the brothers, as their other sibling The Contemplator has been altered. His head is missing, and being that their other brother The Gardener is also MIA, it all has to be related somehow. As Gamora is searching for the Soul Stone, the Elders and another Guardian has crossed paths before as well. Grandmaster senses his brother's touch on the Baby Groot, a revelation that fires Rocket up as well.

What the flark did you just say...?!

   The Infinity Stones are all missing. The fact that some of the Elders are also missing isn't a coincidence. Peter reveals to everyone that the Nova Corps have contacted him. They lost Thanos. Rocket is incensed and turns to walk before Gamora reminds him they need to decide as a group. The Collector touches Peter's head and gets a crash course in Infinity Stone history. The two brothers decide that seeking the stones is beneficial for all parties, so they agree to team up to find Thanos.

Let's make a deal.

   The issue wraps with a flashback to what happened with the Gardener. Loki has come to visit, kicking some of his plants around. The humans of the universe have thrown the ecosystem off balance. He'll help the Gardener in exchange for a Soul Stone - but unfortunately he no longer has it. The Groot clones he's been amassing are apparently a larger plot to help him locate it... But that will have to wait as this issue is left to be continued.

Where ya at, Loc?

   There's only one more issue until Marvel Legacy kicks in for the Guardians, and judging by the cover, it has something to do with the Sh'air and Nova, which is gonna be totally cool. They'll get back to the Infinity Stones in a book or two. In the meantime, It was cool to see Aaron Kuder's bright artwork gracing more than just the cover. This was a pretty good book. I give it a 9/10.
