Sep 20, 2023I think flashbacks get a bad rap sometimes as they're sometimes just a cheap device to draw out stories. But here, this was treated with the subtle care and intention of any other moment in this book, and it lent a lot of heft and power. It wasn't so much a quiet moment before the action picks up with the recently-swallowed (gross, sorry) Guardians but a maelstrom of emotion and history colliding together. Read Full Review

Sep 21, 2023Guardians Of The Galaxy #6 finally gets to the meat of the mystery about Grootfall with solid art and an interesting premise. Unfortunately, the latter half of the issue tries to get existential and fancy but only achieves convoluted nonsense with an unclear resolution. Read Full Review

As far as flashback issues go they can be hit or miss. This one takes a really cool approach that incorporates the nature of these team and its members. Its really good. A very emotional issue that doesn't immediately undo the ending of the last, it ends rather ambiguiously but the content demands you be ready when the next issue drops. Incorporating elements of the previous run seamlessly is much appreciated as well. This is a really underrated but strong run on this team so far.

A bit of an emotional issue with this one, as we go through all of the different team member's feelings about what's happened with Groot. While I was expecting a bit more from Grootfall's origin, especially with how much it's been dragged out during this series, I have enough to be satisfied here. The story was more about the team members and that's perfectly fine, especially when it's written well. I also thought the art was good on this issue, with Lins filling in for Kev Walker. I thought his art fit right in with the art we've been getting previously. All things considered, this was another hit for this series and I continue to look forward to what comes next.

This is a stunning crossroads where every last plot thread the authors have laid down in this volume ties together. The result is stylized and stylish, clear and bittersweet. Groot's fate by itself wouldn't make for a great comic. But when combined with achingly earnest insights into each of his teammates (and some excellent symbolic art), it rises to greatness. I have extra kudos for the authors because they make a surprising number of continuity links to other Guardians stories--even Dan Abnett's recent Groot retro-series.
