Marvel has passed along an unlettered first look at Guardians of the Galaxy #15, which will help jumpstart the publisher’s new crossover event, The Last Annihilation. The event will properly begin in Guardians of the Galaxy #16 this July, but issue #15, on sale June 23, promises to reveal the identity of the saga’s secret villain.
“GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and S.W.O.R.D. have been building their own unique gravity for a while now, and in space, when two objects have gravity, there’s a pretty good chance they’ll crash into each other – or get sucked into the orbit of something even bigger,” Guardians writer Al Ewing said. “Marvel Space these days is a fragile coalition of worlds that chose peace over war, a little bubble of hope in a cruel void – but there’s an enemy nobody ever suspected readying an attack that’ll either cement all those frail alliances or tear them to pieces.”
Guardians of the Galaxy #15 is written by Al Ewing, illustrated by Juan Frigeri, colored by Federico Blee and features a cover by Brett Booth. The issue goes on sale June 23. Check out an unlettered preview, as well as Marvel’s full press release AND the cover for Guardians of the Galaxy #16, below:
