Odeon (UK cinema chain) slowly making tickets for their different cinemas available...just not my local one yet.

I think most, if not all comic book films are intended to be accessible.
The majority of people have heard of the likes of Iron Man, Xmen etc. This is the first instance where a niche Superhero has come to the screen.

The only exposure the general audience (may have) had with Iron Man was the 90s cartoon. Most people apart from comic readers didn't really know who he was.
They all have nods and references for the people who read the comics, but as a newcomer you can still understand everything.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Well, shit. I did her foot.
You don't need to read anything to enjoy GotG, at least according to James Gunn & Kevin Feige.
Though I would recommend reading the Main Course in the Recommended Reading section.

Got tickets to watch this at an IMAX theater today. My excitement is reaching its max.
Dalek Confirmed Father of the Year
Such a conflicting statement without context.

I dunno...I bought my daughter a Marvel Comics sub and put GotG on her reading list. Dalek is still awesome though, even if he is a super-evil robot.

Will watch for Thanos.
...can it have Adam Warlock? Please?

My daughter is somewhat resilient to reading superhero comics, unless they star girls -even though I know she's interested. I've been starting her off small-My Little Pony comics and we read Thor The Mighty.
Did you miss Thor 2?

Dat Nebula!
You put up a damn good argument. Which GotG run?
TMNT is projected to make $39 million its opening weekend. Let's say it makes $10 or $20 million more than projected (which isn't unusual), a positively-recieved GotG with really good word-of-mouth could minimize the second week drop enough to beat the Turtles. This could be another Rio 2-like situation where Cap 2 barely won.

These came in yesterday. The TPB re-release should have been before the movie instead of 2 weeks after.

I don't have any knowledge about GotG, so can anybody enlighten me on the mask Starlord wears on the covers you see on this page...?
Is the movie deviating from this, or is that just some kind of breath apparatus he sometimes wears, and he is also seen without mask in the graphic novels..?

It helps Star-Lord breathe in space (& I think it assists him in his aiming, but I need to double-check that), & it does look cool. Star-Lord does have the iconic mask in the movie, but no helmet (his hair is exposed). And yes, Star-Lord does take off the mask.
In other news...
Fun Fact: Dan Abnett wrote the story for the GotG game on iOS/Android.
I've seen the preview in 3D, it's actually pretty damn good.
Is it worth the $5? I just went to download it and I was shocked that it isn't free.

The pre Marvel Now stuff is what you should be reading. So much better with Abbnet and Lanning.
It isn't free because it's completely IAP free. You should support more games with that mentality.
Drop that series & read the Abnett-Lanning run ASAP.
I think my post might have been less than clear. I'm happy to pay for $30 or $60 games, I was just wondering if this is actually a decent piece of software worth spending time and money on.
I had just assumed that it was a free piece of promotional software. If it is an actually worthwhile game then I am all the more pleased.

I won a ticket to a screening next Wednesday!! Hope I can make it, I'm having a tiny surgical procedure earlier in that day.

Honestly, that image is the one big downside of the DNA run compared to Bendis'. The current run, while displaying all Bendis' flaws as a writer, is very consciously written so that you can jump in at the 0.1 or FCBD issues knowing literally nothing about the characters, whereas the Abnett/Lanning/Giffen era... Well, that's certainly possible, it's far from the most impenetrable superhero continuity porn I've ever read, but it does tend to presuppose not only that you read both Annihilation events, but that you're also reading most of the other cosmic books Marvel was putting out at the same time. And frankly, that's a lot of fuckin' comics to buy/read.

I've told this to all my friends who did the same thing.
If you're reading the Bendis run and enjoying it, you're going to shit your pants when you read the Abnett/Lanning run.
I don't think the Bendis run is nearly as bad as people make it out to be (just feel like it's treading water a bit too much), but holy god is the Abnett/Lanning run a modern classic of sci-fi comics.
Luckily it's all up on Marvel Unlimited.
It's continuity at its finest.
