Jun 28, 2017While it isn't much of a tie-in to SECRET EMPIRE, ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ANNUAL #1 still delivers an emotional yet exciting adventure for the Guardians. The artwork looks great, especially when it comes to alien races and constructs. Read Full Review

IGN - Blair Marnell
Jun 29, 2017This issue's biggest failing is that it builds towards a moment that would have been big for both the Guardians and for Secret Empire before pulling back and leaving only the team bonding intact. That's a frustrating way to end an issue that was close to being more than just a throwaway tale. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Matthew Sibley
Jun 29, 2017It's fun in the same way the movies are and it's smart they made this an annual instead of a main series issue because it works better as an optional detour for those who want more of the characters, but disconnected from Duggan's larger story. Read Full Review

6.0
A quest for a shield-busting superweapon ends up being a wild goose chase and a gooey team-building exercise. The Guardians get fired out of the Secret Empire mess into a weird liminal space between the proper Marvel universe and the MCU. A mostly-MCU Mantis sends them to team up with a totally-MCU Yondu. The quest ends up pointless, of course, but writers Chad Bowers & Chris Sims load their script with a modest dose of snarky humor that softens the issue's frustration. Danilo Beyruth, patron saint of "good enough" indie-style artists, is on board to make the visuals respectable if not memorable, and the whole story slides smoothly in one ear and out the other.
