We now have a second UK trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy featuring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel as the unlikely heroes thrown together to save the universe. Lee Pace, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Rooker, and John C. Reilly also star. Guardians of the Galaxy opens in theaters on August 1st.
Pottsylvania’s latest plot to destroy the good old USA involves getting Americans addicted to Boris Burgers which turn those who consume them into giant over-sized bowling-ball shaped consumers in just a few bites. Let’s just say it’s not exactly the most subtle issue of the series. The cure for the burgers turns out to be Bullwinkle‘s new Mooseberry Bush Burgers which are equally scrumptious and deflate Boris’ consumers but end up have an unexpected side effect of their own.
The interlude features a motivated Nell who learns Dudley Do-Right is being transferred because of the low crime rate decides to intervene and tricks an incarcerated Snidley Whiplash into in turn tricking Dudley into becoming a bank robber leaving Dudley arrested and Nell and Horse with plenty of quality time together.
Although both provide some fun moments, neither the set-up for Rocky and Bullwinkle nor the Dudley Do-Right interlude are all that special. That said, fans of the character should still enjoy themselves here.

With an Imperial blockade appearing above the planet and an explosion near the palace where Princess Leia was to wed, Arrochar‘s betrayal of the Rebellion to the Empire is revealed in the final issue of the arc. Given the amount of chaos in the midst of various characters fighting off both local and Imperial agents Star Wars #18 doesn’t have a chance to highlight much in the way of character interaction other than Leia’s sorrow over how the entire matter played out.
In the midst of the action the issue does introduce the first use of a powerful weapon of the Rebellion as they make use of the stolen Ion Canon technology for the first time to allow their ships to break through the blockade and slip through Darth Vader‘s fingers yet again.
Star Wars #18 offers a satisfactory ending to the marriage that might have been while fueling Vader’s rage and offering a nod to technology the Rebels would make later uses of on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. Worth a look.
