Previously: The Guardians of the Galaxy were a day late and a dollar short when it came to saving Jean Grey from the Shi’ar Empire’s agents. They picked up the All-New X-Men and made a b-line for their home world to stop the trial. Along the way they are joined by Scott Summers father and his Starjammers. Together they arrive to a well protected world as the trial of Jean Grey officially begins.

!!!Light Spoilers!!!

This is a great chapter to the Trial of Jean Grey. Gladiator, ruler of the Shi’ar Empire, is dead set on dispensing justice and avenging those who had become victims of the Phoenix Force. Surprisingly, he is challenged by a member of the Galactic Council. To me, this is the real wrench in the works and game changer for the proceedings. This individual calls out the Shi’ar ruler, pointing out all of the obvious flaws concerning this “trial”. All sorts of things are brought out in from of Jean, who I can tell is really beginning to take things in while trying to hold something back, possibly the Phoenix. Back with the Guardians and company we are subject to more great dialog and bantering that leads to an all out throw down between our heroes and the Shi’ar royal guard that is joined by Jean Grey, who has some startling words!!

Brian Michael Bendis (writer) delivers yet again as this mini-saga unfolds. I can’t say enough times how much I like how he writes the Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s exceedingly entertaining. Stuart Immonen (pencils), Wade Von Grawbadger (inks), and Marte Gracia (color) have not missed a beat along the way with fantastic work that is very easy on the eyes. The Trial of Jean Grey concludes in the pages of Guardians of the Galaxy #13, due to hit shelves March 26th. It’s been said that the conclusion of this story arc will leave these teams changed, so run over to your local comic shop and get caught up today!!
