Guardians of the Galaxy #9 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

If "Infinity" #6 is Lando storming the Death Star, then this issue is Han and Leia trying to take down the shields on Endor.  As one would expect, it's a suitably good time.  Gamora's return is welcome, though Bendis doesn't let Peter off the hook, continuing to make it clear that his reticence to discuss how he and Thanos managed to escape the Cancerverse is fostering an atmosphere of mistrust with the rest of the Guardians.  But, we'll get there later.  In the meantime, we storm S.W.O.R.D.  It's going to be a shame to lose Brand, though Bendis is already juggling so many characters that it's unlikely he'd be able to take advantage of her participation fully in future issues.  I'm hoping she appears as a recurring special guest-star.  Overall, these "Infinity" issues were probably the best of the bunch, though I'm happy for us to return to the story that Bendis was telling before the cross-over event started.

*** (three of five stars)
