“ANSWER THE CALL”
Theme Song: Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure
The Guardians have received a distress call to the planet that is simply named Seven, claiming to need them personally and be a distant figure from their past. But they soon discover it is a ruse, lured into a trap by Ebony Maw, who has decided to take them out of the game for good with his army of mercenaries that he has recruited for the job! The Guardians – hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned need the help of the local residents to make it long enough through the night for the Nova Corps to arrive and save the day, but the residents are a peaceful people who have never fired a gun before or for that matter, wielded a common weapon. In fact, their planet has gone one step further and banned the use of weaponry entirely!
And the only Guardian who can understand their native tongue is Groot. So naturally, things just got a little bit harder. Especially when the Nova Corps might not even be coming at all (you can blame Rocket for royally pissing off their current commander!), and their only way out may be through a black hole…

“WHERE NO GUARDIAN HAS GONE BEFORE” Part 1 “THE RACE AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE”
The Guardians have gone where none of them have gone before, with Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Drax taking the Milano into a Black Hole to escape Ebony Maw and his superior forces (Plotter's Note: See #0). But now they find themselves on an unfamiliar desert planet with a broken ship, approached by two Grifters - elite racers on interplanetary high-speed grav-bikes - Grifter Red and Grifter Blue, who are participating in the greatest race the Galaxy has ever known, and are on the verge of victory. Somewhere nearby lies the finish line – and the reward is riches beyond their wildest dreams. But what lies at the end of the race shocks every Guardian.
It is The Avengers tower, or what is left of it. It lies broken, almost destroyed in the sand. Only the “A” remains visible. New York has been reduced to dust, on the verge of being swallowed by the endless sea. Nothing remains of the rest of the city that was once New York.
The Guardians find themselves about to tackle their biggest mystery yet. What happened to Earth?
