THE FAR-FLUNG SAGA OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE STAR-LORD BEGINS. Meet Peter Quill. He used to be Star-Lord - you know, the legendary outlaw - but it's been quite some time since he's gone by that name. Taking over for his father as the Emperor of Spartax, Quill put the life of spacefaring adventure behind him for one of leadership and responsibility. Quill grew up. But things didn't go as planned. Decades have passed, and Peter is haunted by tragedy. Down and out, Quill's existence means nothing...until the former GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY drag Peter out of his funk for one last mission. The heist of a lifetime - and Quill's harrowing quest for redemption - begins here. Parental Advisory.
