I dig James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy and consider Vol 3 one of the best movies released so far this year. When I stumbled upon Hollywood Spotlight's The Ultimate Guide to Guardians of the Galaxy, I couldn't resist, and writers Allia Luzong, Bryan Reesman, Matt Sullivan, Neil Turitz and Jules Wilkinson (along with their crackerjack, artistic team) made it all worth the universe-jaunting while.
Not only is Vol 3 highlighted in this commemorative issue, but its previous chapters, as well as the series' outlandish characters and the diverse stars who portray them: Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Salanda as Gamora, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klemtieff as Mantis, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Sean Gunn as Kraglin and Rocket (at least when it comes to the latter's swagger), Bradley Cooper as Rocket's sly voice, Maria Bakalova as Cosmo, Dave Bautista as Drax and Vin Diesel as Groot. Some of these good folks even offer insights on how the blockbuster franchise impacted their lives.
The edition also covers those important, guest-starring rogues (some unscrupulous and others a tad wily), including Lee Pace's Ronan, Chukwudi Iwuji's High Evolutionary, Will Poulter's Adam Warlock, Kurt Russell's Ego and Sylvester Stallone's Stakar Ogord. (If only the Kurt and Sly would team in a sequel, we'd have a near-veritable Tango & Cash reunion! Ha ha!)
As a bonus treat, the Guardians Ultimate Guide bestows a gracious glimpse at the gang's heartwarming Holiday Special. (Star Wars, move over!) And as an another cool boost, it salutes our heroes' supplemental protagonists (in particular, Thor and Iron Man), while paying homage to ten terrific, superhero teams, which (of all daring things) extends well beyond the Marvel Multiverse!

I had great fun delving into this Ultimate Guide and so will you. Pick up a copy at your local drugstore or supermarket to experience the galactic joy!
