This news should bode well for fans of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's(DnA) epic run on the Marvel cosmic line. Director James Gunn has revealed that he's recently met with the pair at Marvel's UK production offices for GotG.

"With the reimaginers of the Guardians of the Galaxy that I am currently reimagining - Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett! We showed them around the production office today to show them some of the amazing stuff they inspired! We wouldn’t be making this movie without them! AND they’re super nice guys to boot!”

Great day with @jamesgunn, thanks matey. Guardians are in safe hands! Awesome, this film will rock! — Andy Lanning (@AndyLanning) February 21, 2013

James Gunn has apparently met with Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning to discuss The Guardians of the Galaxy. The comic book duo were responsible for such noted arcs as Annihilation: Conquest and War of Kings and are credited with reinvigorating Marvel's cosmic characters in the late 2000's.Are they just visiting or will they be consulting with Gunn on the film? I can't think of better brains for Gunn to pick when it comes to the GotG.
