Guardians of the Galaxy #7: Review

This issue again splits the art chores. Valerio Schiti does the pencilling and inking for Angela's memory flashback, and the final page of the spacefleet. These spacecraft are probably the refugees from the Builder invasion that started to arrive in Avengers #15. Angela seems to be different from the version that appeared in Spawn. There she was a real (warrior) angel from Heaven, and had adventures on Earth. Here she is a being called an angel from a place called Heven in an alternate reality where Earth is a myth. Rocket Raccoon is miffed that Angela is the only known member of her species (in this universe), which he insists is a GoG signature trait. Gamora and Groot are the last of their species. Star-Lord is probably the only human/Spartoi hybrid. Drax is a human consciousness placed in a body created by Kronos of Titan. And Rocket himself is the result of genetic experimentation. Although Groot continues to only say "I am Groot", everyone now seems to understand him and hold conversations with him. He doesn't need Rocket to translate. Space-time was of course broken by Wolverine and Invisible Woman's time-travelling in Age of Ultron. Although this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Next issue plunges the Guardians into the Infinity event. The covers for that and subsequent issues suggests that Iron Man has left the team, which makes sense since he's on Earth during Infinity. So, pending an actual viewing of the next issue, it seems that IM's leaving the Guardians part way through IM#16 happens between these issues of GoG. And as I proposed in IM#16, it happens before Infinity. But unfortunately it also means we've run out of room for the memory IM has in New Avengers #8 of the body of the Living Tribunal.
