Episode 74: How Are the Guardians of the Galaxy Different in the Comics?

With the release of the third (and final?) Guardians of the Galaxy movie, we thought it would be fun to examine the ways the Guardians are different in their comic book versions. We’ll talk about the original guardians from the years 1969 and 3000, and how their name transferred into the modern era via time travel. We’ll discuss Starlord’s connection to the Master of the Sun, and why his creator only wrote one story with him in it. We’ll talk about Rocket Raccoon’s origins in the pages of Incredible Hulk and discuss whether or not Drax is an expert saxophone player. Spoiler alert – yes he is.
