The Guardians of the Galaxy are about to return to theaters for their final ride in the MCU with May's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn has described the film as the last hurrah for the classic Guardians team of Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Groot, Nebula, and Mantis. But in comic books, the team is alive 🍒and well - and they've even got a new volume of their ongoing series coming out just in time for the movie.

So where are the classic MCU Guardians now, in comic books? Here's everything you need 🐈to know to get caught up with the team before their new movie and new title both hit the ground running.

The new Guardians of the Galaxy comic is written by Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with art by Kev Walker, and it's all about finding new frontiers for the Guardians with full-on space western vibes. In the new♉ title, a core team of Peter Quill, Drax, Mantis, Gamora, and Nebula will venture out to the edges of the galaxy as they wander across less advanced worlds looking to help those in need. 

You may have noticed Rocket and Groot aren't presenไt for the new comic line-up - something that seems to be directly connected to the story of the new title, which is called 'Grootfall.' And true to the ominous title, the team is dealing with the apparent betrayal of Groot.

Where do🤡es that leave Rocket? We're actually not sure🌳 yet - but you can bet the Guardian's resident rapscallion will show up at some point.

The new Guardians movie also introduces some new characters to the MCU including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Adam Warlock, who is about to star in his own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:W🐬arlock: Rebirth flashback limited series, set in the past, as well as the villainous 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:High Evolutionary, whose next comic appearance is still waiting in the wings. And of course there's Rocket's paramour 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lady Lylla, who hasn't shown up inܫ comics in years. Willꩵ she get a comeback now that she's in the MCU? Time will have to tell.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 releases in theaters in Maﷺy, and the new Guardians of the Galaxy #1 comic is already available.
