The first half deals with the Black Vortex event, skip it if you don't care to read it. You would need to read All-new X-men and Captain Marvel to among others to read get the full picture. Maybe it's because I love X-men, there the ones that got me into comics, but I love Star lord and Kitty Pryde scenes. I predict they won't end happily ever after because nobody gets happy endings in comics but I'm enjoying their romance so far.
This was my first series I've read of the Guardians of the Galaxy and overall I was pleased, even if this volume was just ok.
