I wasn't looking for any similarities between the film and comic book. The film was blowing awesome, so I thought that it wouldn't hurt to give a chance to the printed material, choosing the one closer to the movie version, at least in its roster and physical appearance. Not because, I'd think that it was bad, I just didn't feel any need to read it. while I was aware that Marvel had certain comic team named "Guardians of the Galaxy", beyond that, I hadn't the slighted idea of what was about, in its now "classic" 70's incarnation or this more modern 2008's version, and if wasn't for the film, I'd never picked this TPB. Haven't you heard? We're the Guardians of the Galaxy. Illustrators: Clint Langley (covers), Paul Pelletier (1-7), Brad Walker (8-10), Wes Craig (11-12) with the assistance of Carlos Magno (9). This TPB edition is the first volume of two, containing the issues from #1 to #12 inclusive, and it's a tie-in edition to the film, since previously this series was published in 4 volumes, instead on only two now. ![]() ![]() When Percy returns to the lake to attend Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. ![]() And slowly that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.

Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. A weekend to get it right. A magazine writer has to make a choice when she returns to the lake she grew up on, and to the man she thought she’d never have to live without, in this achingly nostalgic debut.

They’re just like, ‘I read what I like – everything!’ I read the Baby-Sitters Club and I read Animorphs, so, everything.

The three characters left behind rally together to discover why Shara left - and what she's left behind. ![]() " I Kissed Shara Wheeler" has the same elements of LGBTQ representation and romance told through a younger lens, all while not feeling condescending to the young readers who are already fans of McQuiston's work.
