Greetings, True Believers! It's your boy Deadpool here giving you a sneak peek at what's to come for me and the rest of my Thunderbolt crew. Right now, we're getting ready for a battle of the ages with Hulk. It's a battle that I'm sure will make the fanboys $#!% themselves from pure awesomeness.
So after that, what's next, you ask? Trust me, I know you're asking me that. Don't deny it. After our insane PWN-age over Hulk, you're gonna see what the good ol' 'Merica thinks of us. Do they support us? Do they hate us? I ain't telling! That would destroy the whole %^©#ing point of the teaser.
Alsooo, there's this guy who completely hates our guts. Yaaayyy...His name is Abdul al-Rhaman. He's so butthurt about us beating him that he assembles his own team of super villains named the Liberators. Oh, God, I'm just $#!%ing myself right now from fear...not! Seriously, though, this guy wants to break us up.
There's also some other important stuff that I won't mention so you all can be surprised.
Love you all,
Deadpool <3

I can't say I've got as fun or as cutesy of a teaser as comix's (which is to say I loved it), but I can and will throw out a few things. First off, while I actually spoiled less than you think with Amazing, I do admit I probably went a bit overboard. That's what happens when you get caught in the moment, I guess. So, I plan to tease a bit less with Guardians. I want to say thanks to every one of the writers (+ elec ) who reads and reviews my titles. Your reviews really help me see the strengths and weaknesses in my writing as I struggle to become a better creative thinker and writer. Now, back to the Guardians! Next ish, as solicited, features the final battle between the two opposing teams (The Guardians of the Galaxy and The Annihilators), finally has the Guardians say their name, develops a firm direction, reveals the ID of Blackshot and includes Thanos' very first appearance in All Star Marvel history (preboot and NuStar). After that crazy issue, we skip three months ahead. The Guardians and Knowhere are losing a guerilla war against Ronan's troops. Eventually, much to Cosmo's distaste, Phyla Vell convinces them they have to go to the only people left in the galaxy who will help them: The Nova Corps. Naturally, that leads to our new Nova who will feature in Avengers. I'll also tease this: Ronan isn't the "Big Bad" of Season 1 of Guardians. And no, it's not Thanos either. Thanos is the Big Bad in my incredibly long term plans that will tie together pre-boot Ultron, the 1985 one shot, the Infinity Gauntlet, the Master Weaver, and all of the krutacking crazy Multiversal, timey wimey jumbo I've introduced. Oh, and back to the Guardians; Peter will take on the Star Lord name in the second arc (which will be much shorter than the first). Look forward to Guardians of the Galaxy #8: Our Time is Now in the next few days (possibly today)! Also, I'll be checking back in later to discuss "why Guardians" and all the related frag. ...I hope you enjoyed my use of galactic curse words.

Well, you d'ast krutacking fragnargs, I'm back. Let's get started!
Why pick GotG?
There's A LOT of reasons I picked Guardians of the Galaxy as my NuStar title. First off, I love the team! Rocket's one my favorite characters in comics, maybe even in literature, and I enjoy the damaged nature of each of the team members. DnA's run is one of my favorites in all comic history, up there with BMB's Ultimate Spider-Man, Miller's Daredevil, Millar's Ultimates, Snyder's Batman, Johns' Flash and more. I think it's evident how cool the characters are by how popular the movie is. After all, it wasn't the plot or villain that drove the sales through the roof.
Second, I really wanted a challenge in more ways than one. I knew the movie was coming out and that would affect people's expectations of the title if only because it was their only experience with the characters. I welcomed that, and decided if I could just make people enjoy my story, and have fun reading it then I'd done my job well. The other challenge was that I'd never written anything in the middle of space, far away from Earth, and filled with so much alien frag that I literally have to plan all the culture, languages, etc. out in advance. It's been tough, and I've discovered I'm not as good at it as I am at maintaining an Earth-based title, but it's been a lot of fun.
Lastly, I really wanted to write Thanos. Like, really really really wanted to. I needed him for my plans, and boy, will I use him!
I got a little more for later, but I've gotta go for now!

Why pick T-Bolts?
Red Hulk, Ghost Rider, the Punisher, Deadpool, and Red She-Hulk. This cast of characters just screams awesome. Seriously. These guys are the baddest asses of the Marvel Universe in my opinion. Writing these guys in a team would be a dream come true to anyone.
While writing, I knew GR, Punisher, and DP wouldn't just join out of the goodness of their hearts. They had to have some selfish reason to join. Trust me, these are selfish characters. So, General Ross manipulates their selfishness into making them join. GR has no purpose in his life, but being on the team gives him a life to live. All DP wants is fame and money, and being on the team will definitely give him that. Punisher was tricky. Originally I had decided that he'd join simply because it'd let him kill more people. That's still part of the reason, but I decided that I'd have the General threaten Frank into joining.
The point of this title is family. These characters have lost everything: Ghost Rider his soul, DP is sanity, and Punisher his family. These are characters burdened with loss. And yet, through each other, they grow stronger.
That's all I have for now, I guess.

Also, if Drake will let me, I'd love to have Agent Venom join the team. But Drake still needs to write his Black Suit Spider-Man arc before any of that can be considered.

I was going to do the whole hero by hero, description, who they are and why like I did for Spider-Man, but honestly....I don't really want to. In fact, I didn't really want to for Amazing either. You guys should just discover the characters for yourselves. That said, since I did promise a little more, here's the (potentailly pro tem) titles for the next arc. ARC: Guardians Team Up #9: A Day in the Life (of the Guardians of the Galaxy) #10: Human Rocket #11: Betrayal #12: Enter Star Lord, Prince of Spartax Which all leads to...... Kree-Spartoi War Fun fact, I just had to make up Arc 2's title. I had each of the issues' and Arc 3's titles down. Fun fact 2, Arc 2's title is probably not permanent.

I think I know what #10's about. I was really subtle about that one.
