Welcome to Behind the Panels Issue 117, the comic book show that has a vestigial tail.
In this issue, Marvel announces more Guardians of the Galaxy series. Why you ask? You said it yourself bitch – they’re the Guardians of the Galaxy. ALSO Marvel hires a wrestler to write a comic. If the trend catches on, we can’t wait to see The Rock’s take on My Little Pony. THEN it’s Superior Iron Man, the All-New Captain America, The Kitchen, lots and lots of TV and more in What We’ve Been Reading and Watching.
PLUS our Kick-Ass Pick of the Week: Black Hole by Charles Burns. This is Behind the Panels.
