Dan Abnett Returns to Marvel For Ongoing Series Starring The Original Guardians Of The Galaxy

Former Guardians of the Galaxy writer Dan Abnett is returning to Marvel and teaming with artist Gerardo Sandoval for Guardians 3000, a new ongoing series starring the original Guardians of the Galaxy.

Vance Astro, Yondu, Starhawk, Martinex and Charlie-27 return in Guardians 3000 as freedom fighters battling to reclaim the galaxy from the Badoon.

"Guardians 3000 is truly a case of you asked for it, we delivered!," says Marvel Executive Editor Mike Marts. "Readers have been begging for the return of the original Guardians team for a long time…and we're happy to debut this series right in the midst of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie excitement!"

Set in the 31st century of the Marvel Universe, Guardians 3000 promises to feature threats new and old, including a threat to the timestream and a young girl named Geena Drake who may hold the key to saving the universe from collapse.

Guardians 3000 debuts in October.
