It's a truism in comics -- if one franchise is successful, you've got to give it a crazy amount of titles and crossovers to strike while the iron is hot. Usually, that fatigues me. But something about Guardians of the Galaxy -- a collection of long-time characters that never had much heat before -- makes me happy. I don't mind that they're appearing everywhere. THEY ARE THE X-MEN OF THE 21st CENTURY! And I feel fine.
So check out this trailer for the event that will bring the Guardians and the X-Men together... and me in the comics shop shelling out even more money...
From Marvel:
The Guardians of the Galaxy, the All-New X-Men, Nova, Captain Marvel, Cyclops and more team up for a cosmic throwdown the likes of which have never been seen in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY & X-MEN: THE BLACK VORTEX! On sale this week, the highly anticipated first issue in the upcoming crossover from fan-favorite writer Sam Humphries and blockbuster artist Ed McGuinness!
The Black Vortex, an ancient artifact of immense and immeasurable power has resurfaced on the far side of the galaxy. With the power to unlock its users true cosmic potential, in the wrong hands, the Black Vortex’s power could be a force of unparalleled destruction. Imagine the power that transformed Jean Grey into the Phoenix or Norin Radd into the Silver Surfer available to anyone, and in the hands of those who would use it for evil!
