Marvel Comics announced today that their forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy series by Brian Michael Bendis and Steve McNiven will not only be one of their supported "Launch Party" titles, with retailers allowed to run midnight release parties for the title, but there will be a set of Guardians of the Galaxy collectors' cards made available exclusively to retailers and fans who take part in those parties.

There will also be one of the cards that's more rare than the others, making it a collector's item on top of a collector's item, but Marvel won't say which. Who will it be--Star-Lord, who will be the hero of the feature film adaptation (and is it just me, or does he have a real Andy Dwyer smirk in the image at right)? Iron Man, the uncontestedly most popular character on the team? Or Rocket Raccoon, the favorite of the hardcore fans?

Check out what Marvel has to say below, along with the rest of the cards.
