Guardians of the Galaxy #5

Neil Gaiman gets a consultant credit because of the use of his character Angela. The reality tears occurred in Age of Ultron #10 because of all the time-travelling humans have done culminating in Wolverine negating AoU itself. Star-Lord's vision is an expanded and clearer version of a panel from AoU#10. As well as the Guardians and Badoon, Thanos and the original Captain Marvel, and the original Nova (the only character not yet to have inexplicably returned from the Cancerverse) there are some additions:- Young Peter Quill, the current Carol Danvers Captain Marvel, and Peter with his arm around an X-Female who might be Kitty Pryde. At least some of these may be intimations of the future. Angela and her species aren't in the Guardians' database because not only is she an angel but also she's from another (Image) multiverse. Mantis doesn't want to return to the Guardians of the Galaxy. She was a member of the previous incarnation during their 2008 series until they split up at the end of Thanos Imperative. When Rocket Raccoon says he'll fly them immediately to Earth to see who is attacking it, Tony Stark doesn't believe it because they're half a galaxy away. If they're really in the Andromeda Galaxy as stated at the beginning, it's a *lot* further than that! There is no hint here of how Thanos escaped the custody of the cosmic beings after Avengers Assemble #8. Thanos comments that Peter Quill's father was right about how dangerous Earth was when he got the galactic council to quarantine it in #1. And also that Thanos was right about that too, presumably referring to Avengers Assemble #1-8. Thanos' prediction may be a lead-in to Infinity.
