Pendant Secret Wars, le scénariste Brian Bendis poursuivra les aventures des Gardiens de la Galaxie à travers une nouvelle série Guardians of Knowhere que publiera l’éditeur Marvel Comics dès juin. Pour l’occasion, il retrouvera son collaborateur de Dark Avengers: le dessinateur Mike Deodato Jr. L’histoire s’ouvrira sur un des grands mystères de la tête du Céleste (et ancien Q.G. de l’équipe) connue sous le nom de Knowhere.
Ci-dessous, la couverture du premier numéro par Deodato Jr. suivie des couvertures variantes par Skottie Young (Rocket Racoon):
[quote]Not street cops per se, but Guardians of Knowhere. That’s what the title says. [Laughs] There is a lot to protect. They have each other to protect as well.
There’s also a mystery. One of the cool things about Battleworld, of which this is a part, is that there’s a mystery about how this world came to be a piece of the larger setting and what the perception of it is to the characters. Each one of the books that I’m doing, « Ultimate End, » « Old Man Logan » and this, have a very unique perspective on the Battleworld and their place in it. That’s one of the reasons why I picked these sections.[/quote]
