LEGENDARY STAR-LORD VOL. 02: RISE OF THE BLACK VORTEX SC (MARVEL COMICS) PUBLISHER Marvel Comics WRITER Sam Humphries ARTIST Paco Medina Freddie Williams Ii COVER ARTIST Paco Medina PAGES 160 pages FORMAT Graphic Novel Star-Lord comes face-to-face with Mr. Knife - and you won't believe who's behind that snazzy mask. All this craziness seems to have put a little strain on Peter and Kitty's long-distance relationship, but you know what'll fix that right up? Space date! Or rather, space prison break! Peter Quill, what a catch. But the growing mystery of the Black Vortex might destroy the couple's relationship before Peter has a chance to screw it up himself. Heroes assemble to counter the Vortex's cosmic threat, but Mr. Knife and his new business partner want the Vortex for themselves! Kitty discovers a way to neutralize the Vortex's power, but the entire planet of Spartax is in grave danger - and to guard the galaxy from this threat, the heroes' only choice may be to submit to the Vortex! Collecting Legendary Star-Lord #6-12. The first 3 issues serve as a lead in to the Black Vortex crossover with the X-Men books. I like that they have brought Kitty Pryde into the book. The whole long distance relationship thing was getting pretty ridiculous. One of my favorite scenes in the book was when Kitty Pryde rescued Star-Lord from his father. The next 3 issues are part of the Black vortex crossover and mostly hold up as stand alone issues. However, to get the whole story (which contains major changes for Peter and Kitty) you'll need to pick up the Black Vortex graphic novel. The last issue focuses on Peter's half-sister Victoria as she meets with the Collector. This was maybe the best issue in the book. All items shipped in rigid cardboard!
