I just resubbed to Marvel Unlimited last week to read through cosmic Marvel since I've been out of the comics game for 4-6 years now. Already read through to the Annihilation prologue, good stuff. The Thanos series from Starlin was a chore to get through, though. His writing style felt pretty antiquated.

Damn, why did no one mention about the Cineworld thing
This is at Empire in Leicester Square where the premiere is, though it's happening the day before.
Oh my God, if I also win tickets to the premiere...

For those worried about GOTG's box office performance, Ninja Turtles is projected to make $39 million on its opening weekend.
GOTG is projected to make $68 million.

Yeah, I probably should get an Unlimited subscription at some point and read more of that stuff, but even as a fan of shared superhero universes, the sheer number of closely interconnected comics being put out during that era of cosmic Marvel (many of them being published concurrently) is more than I care for.
YMMV, of course.

I'm curious. Do they track this by seeing how many tickets are booked?
It's a very imperfect science. I think they just base it off all available evidence. Ticket pre-sales, social media activity, possibly direct poling as well, etc.
Yeah, I can see how it would be annoying to have to keep track and hunt each issue, but on Marvel Unlimited it helps a lot that you can sort them by events or look up what you want/need to read and then add them to your library.
It's a full featured "game" like Battleheart.

I don't know if it was posted here. This is a great place for reading order regarding the Cosmic Marvel:

Once again, beaten to the punch.The Collector gets his own poster:
I already posted that. And like I said earlier, it's very possible that both will make more than projected.
For GotG to beat TMNT, the sales drop for the second week has to be minimized with really good word-of-mouth.

He was my favourite part of Riddick so I had complete faith in his casting as Drax since seeing that movie.
Alright, I'll read the pre-Now run! Thanks guys!

You know, I love Rocket and Peter Quill a lot... but after this clip, I have a funny feeling Drax is going to be my favorite character in this movie.

Why does he wear the mask!?

You lucky bastard.
What the hell, I think I'll buy it if I end up having some free time over the weekend to play it.
I have to agree-his comic timing is perfect.

Having just read Annihilation Omnibus, I'm a little worried now. Drax is basically Riddick in attitude and execution. Hope Bautista can pull this off. Vin Diesel would've actually been perfect as Drax.
Film Drax seems very different too comic Drax to be honest, wouldn't worry about it.

It's interesting because going blind, I thought this would be old big dumb strong Drax. When I read that this was 'inspired' by the Giffen/Lanning/Abnett run, figured I'd read the omnibus to see what all of the hoopla was about.
I'm worried about both Drax and Ronan, honestly. In the comics, Ronan is a GREAT anti-hero/honorable villain. If they just turn Ronan into a big bad guy, and Drax into a dullard, this suddenly sounds a whole lot less fun.

Is the Thanos Imperative as good as Rising? Had no idea about it until now.

Thanos Imperative is pretty much my favorite run featuring Guardians and gives them the most epic send-off imaginable.
Which was totally destroyed by the Bendis return. lesigh

I'd just like to point out how good Rocket seems in that clip as well. Like, he doesn't seem like a ~~crazy space raccoon~~ at all, but an actual character. Which is perfect.

I wasn't listening, I was thinking of something else.
I suppose it's still possible that Ronan becomes less of a villain by the end of the film but with Drax after him instead of Thanos Iv'e got my doubts he'll survive past the film.

Haha, nice! This is pretty much perfect. The tone and dynamic of the group looks so good...
It's been ages since I've seen a group of characters from a movie have this good chemistry.

The Collector looks like he belongs in derek zoolander's family.
can't believe benicio del toro is in a comic book movie (excluding something like sin city). i'm sure he'll be interesting.

According to Kris Tapley's (of In Contention/HitFix) twitter, Guardians is screening tonight (he's there) and there's no embargo, so expect reactions later tonight.

Man guys, if the reviews are negative I don't think my heart will be able to take it.
I was having this thought 15 minutes ago. Please don't happen
