After Kitty Pryde becomes the new Star-Lord, the Guardians of the Galaxy have been to space for some adventure. Peter Quill became the new ruler of Spartax and totally failed when a renegade Accuser Corps member named Hala lays waste to the planet (Emperor Quill). Then they fought the Brotherhood of the Badoon to rescue their captured friend Angela and overthrown the Badoon Empire for good (Wanted).

As they hit the road, they receive a call from Captain Marvel to return to Earth to help her with some Earthy affairs. The Guardians vote among themselves whether to go or not, had a little bit of arguments between themselves why it is not a bad idea or vice-versa.

Though Rocket Raccoon strongly suggests against going to Earth and sticking their nose into some super-hero quarrel which is not their business, the others voted for going back and before reaching Earth all of them start preparing themselves. Soon, they all meet Carol Danvers, Commander Abigail Brand and Alpha Flight at their low-orbit space station.

Since the whole scenario is far more complicated than that, Carol privately disclosed to Quill that how her boyfriend Col. Jim Rhodes AKA War Machine has become a causality of war when they tried to sneak onto Thanos following a prophecy from Ulysses, how they have managed to capture The Mad Titan and since his friend Drax the Destroyer and Gamora are always hell-bent on killing him, she wanted Quill to keep it a secret from them for the time being.

When Kitty Pryde confront Peter Quill about what Carol told him in person, he shares to her the whole situation and his dilemma about not being able to disclose this to Drax or Gamora as it would immediately set them off on a rampage to kill Thanos and wreck havoc in the process for sure.

It would lead all of Earth's heroes after her to stop her at any cost and The Mad Titan might actually get away amidst this chaos. Even after Kitty suggested him to share this info with his teammates, Peter remained adamant on his decision to keep Carol's request.

Before jumpig into the final conflict, the Guardians argue among themselves regarding their involvement and it really didn't solve anything at all. As the time for the showdown between Carol Danvers and Tony Stark finally arrives, she signals the Guardians to help her and things escalate pretty quickly.

Their ship is blown up in the fight and Rocket gets very upset about it while Groot tries to comfort him. Angela, Thing and Venom go their separate ways and Gamora accidentally discovers the secret that has been kept from her.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Civil War II (Softcover)

Guardians of the Galaxy – Civil War II (Hardcover)

When the first Civil War of superheroes hit the Marvel Universe, it affected all of the heroes of the world sans the X-Men. This time, as Civil War II is upon the superhero-community once again, it will affect the heroes of space as well. Star-Lord and his Guardians of the Galaxy were called in by Col. Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel to assist her with more power in her favor. Many of The Avengers and X-Men members made cameo appearances in the middle of the story as it progress and also took part in the final battle.

Allegiances Are Split

This tie-in story takes place on the fourth monthly ongoing volume of Guardians of the Galaxy comics series, collecting issues #11-14, which is plotted by writer Brian Michael Bendis (Daredevil – End of Days, Daredevil – Ninja), while artist Valerio Schiti (Journey Into Mystery – Seeds of Destruction, Journey Into Mystery – Stronger Than Monsters) and Arthur Adams (Gen¹³/Generation X, Longshot) provided illustrations and cover arts respectively. This arc has literally torn-apart the Guardians on trust issue among them for Quill not sharing what he knew about Thanos with Drax and Gamora or anyone else of the team.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Wanted | Comics

When the last of the Kree Accuser Corps, Hala showed up on Spartax to blame Emperor Quill for the destruction of her homeworld and laid waste to the entire planet, Spartax government officials deemed Peter Quill guilty and overthrown him. Even though it wasn't his fault in any way but still, he was in charge of the planet when it happened and that made him a fugitive of Spartax. While other Guardians of the Galaxy members were split in small groups on separate missions, Kitty Pryde and Peter Quill are currently on Xalda-Volta, a Badoon prison-planet.

Kitty and Peter are there for an extraction mission but Peter still couldn't let go of the fact that he lost an entire planet, his friends and Kitty too. In between hiding from Badoon soldiers and out-flanking them, Kitty unsuccessfully tries to keep Quill's mind on track and they jump into quickly take down a few Badoon soldiers on patrol and then Star-Lord got knocked down by a bigger one. Kitty managed to move him out but more troops were on their tail and while make another run for it, they finally discovered that Xalda-Volta is actually a concentration camp for numerous alien races.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Wanted | Comics

Seeing all the deprived alien prisoners locked up there reminded Kitty Pryde of how her own Mutant race was always trampled by others and in a fit of rage, she furiously charges at them with Star-Lord's Element Gun and inflicts heavy damage. She then phase-shifts through a few of their ships to make them crush while Quill frees as much prisoners as possible until he got knocked out by another big one. He woke up in the middle of an arena, sentenced to death while surrounded by Monsters of Badoon on planet Moord; the homeworld of the Brotherhood of Badoon.

Captured by Badoon soldiers, Rocket Raccoon was stalling a bunch of Badoons with facts about his prisoner rights, leading them to a spot while The Thing drops on them from orbit, decimating almost all of them at once. After taking down a big-one like a true space-barbarian, Thing and Rocket proceeds to evacuate all the prisoners. Impressed by his unmatched bravery and their attempt to rescue all these alien prisoners Badoon, a female Garonthian approaches him finding herself attracted to Ben. Though, interrupted by more soldiers, Ben and Rocket eventually rescues everyone from the prison planet.

Groot and Venom finds themselves among a group of Super-Skrull who are kept here as prisoners, stripped off their shape-shifting ability. Meanwhile, Drax the Destroyer and Gamora sneaks into Imperial Warden's tower but Gamora got caught and then she unleashes whatever remaining power of The Black Vortex within her one more time to rescue her friend and fellow Guardians of the Galaxy member Angela. When they are all set to go, they have to save Peter Quill from being executed on Planet Moord and then take out Brotherhood of the Badoon for good.

Tony decides to check on Earth and he does so by contacting Pepper Potts with a device Rocket gave him. He asks her to send some Avengers if possible and he will be back once he makes sure Earth is out of danger from invasion. Meanwhile, in an attempt to save Earth recently, multiple time-travels have caused rips in space-time continuum and a divine being from Heavens named Angela enters our universe. To seek the answer for who brought her here, Angela is headed towards Earth.

Rocket and Tony were talking about Gamora, when she came looking for Quill and upon learning Peter is not on board, points out that he brought the entire Spartax fleet on their tail and leaving is not cool. On Rigel-7, while running from Spartax royal guards Peter seeks out Mantis to get a hold of his thoughts and revealed a stream of thoughts as well as earning a brief visit from The Mad Titan. On board the Guardians' ship, Rocket picks up signal for something headed towards Earth and turns out its Angela.

Since Tony cannot suit up right now as it is disassembled and Quill is currently absent on scene, Gamora engages her on mid-flight and then a fierce battle ensues among the two femme fatales, who are equally formidable and ruthless. On the surface of Moon, these two warrior charges at each other with all they've got. Even Uatu the Watcher stops by to point out Angela should not be here and her presence means greater catastrophes to come. He witnesses this epic fight and sees Angela taking a hit from Gamora before being overpowered by her.

Peter came back from his visit from Thanos just in time as Rocket Raccoon and Groot suited up to stop Angela. It took the joint effort of the whole team just to slow her down and Star-Lord's surprise attack finally subdued her. Upon hearing her story, they decided to let her go and keep an eye on her. In the meantime, Thanos launches invasion on Earth and the Guardians rushed to stop him, aided by Angela. When the crisis is over, she and Gamora teams up on Planet Moord to take on a Badoon outpost.

Angela | Comics

To keep the darkness of existence in check, Angela is a warrior of Heaven assigned to eliminate the hosts of Hellspawn over the centuries. She is perhaps the best among her kind and also the most experienced as she has killed 30 of them. However, when she faced Al Simmons in combat, she experienced defeat for the first time. She was tested on a trial on her 100,000th birthday for treason and her greatest rival comes to testify for her but things went wrong and they are forced to flee.

Angela | Comics

In the final battle between Spawn and Malebolgia, she came in aid for the latter and gutted the demon with her Dimensional Lance. When she was leaving Hell, she is impaled by Malebolgia with her own weapon. Spawn carried her away and a group of angels comes to take Angela's body.

When Wolverine unintentionally damages the time-stream of the Omniverse during Age of Ultron, Angela is dragged from Heven and found her way into Midgard. Looking for revenge on the one responsible for bringing her here, she engages in a fight with Gamora but then is assisted by Guardians of the Galaxy on her quest.

Later, Uatu, the Watcher's eye reveals that she is the daughter of Odin and the long-lost sister of Thor and Loki, an Asgardian named Aldrif Odinsdottir. She was apparently killed in the Queen of Angels as a child and Odin then severs the link to other Nine Realms from Heven. This revelation and afterward a trip to Heven to exorcize Surtur's spirit from her younger sister Laussa Odinsdottir revoked her entrance in Tenth Realm permanently.
