Guardians of the Galaxy

The first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe subseries features Peter Quill, who becomes Star-Lord and head of the eponymous band of intergalactic heroes after his mother on Earth dies of terminal cancer in the late 1980s and he is abducted by a group of alien thieves known as the Ravagers. Guardians is probably one of my favorite Marvel subseries due of course to Rocket the raccoon (and there’s a reference to Ranger Rick in the film), has pretty good action, walks the balance between being serious and humorous, and has a good selection of music taken from the period Quill was abducted from.
