Lonnie Nadler provided a few more details about what fans can expect in YONDU #1:

"Yondu offers a unique opportunity to create a kind of story that you're not getting in other Marvel titles at the moment, and we wanted to take full advantage of that. His character operates in a fundamentally different place from 99 percent of the heroes and villains in that his life is played out in the slums of the universe, places most others wouldn't dare go. In this sense, readers will experience a world they've loved for decades through a new, gritty, grotesque, and comedic lens. We set out early on to make sure this is the kind of crime comedy of errors where nothing ever goes right ol' Yondu, and the result is an insane concoction that's equal parts Breaking Bad, Lethal Weapon and No Country For Old Men."
