Tom, I thought Guardians of the Galaxy #1 was easily Bendis' best #1 ever. Dark Avengers might come close but this was paced so much more strongly. Maybe it's because it had the 2-3 issues of pre-#1s to build it up, but if this is indicative for how Brian is going to write Guardians, I think it's going to be his most exciting, well-rounded comic he's ever written at Marvel.
