I did have a look for it on eBay and on comicvine.com which has a huge database of comics and magazines, but I couldn’t find a trace of it anywhere so did it actually release?

Twenty years ago, the idea of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie was absurd. The team was a ragtag bunch of weirdos, disconnected from the main Marvel Universe as it was set almost a thousand years in the future, with odd powers, strange enemies, and a vaguely sci-fi adventure milieu. But something flipped in 2006, kicking off a chain of events that concludes with the final chapter in arguably the most beloved individual franchise in the MCU: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
This shocking (and now ancient) turn of events can be traced from the comics through to the screen, and if you’re a collector, you’re just in time to pick up this history of the Guardians of the Galaxy!

James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy" films (as well as the accompanying "Holiday Special") have greatly expanded the narrative possibilities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Audiences have been treated to countless characters, creatures, and worlds, all of which have been delivered with Gunn's signature combination of imagination and wit. Of course, as wild and fresh as the cosmic elements of the MCU are, there's been no shortage of heart. Gunn was given the unenviable task of making us care about a cadre of characters including a sentient tree and a foul-mouthed raccoon and pulled it off with flying colors. With the writer and director moving over to lead DC Studios, fans can't help but wonder about the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy and their unique place in the MCU.
Luckily, there are plenty of characters from the comics who've either been a part of the team...

Welcome to the first Versus of 2022 and it is a big one to start! This year I wanted to go bigger than just pitting similar characters together. 2022 is also the 30th anniversary of the birth of Image Comic, so what better way to start than by having the Image 7 face off in the versus arena, with their biggest and best issues going toe-to-toe. The story of Image Comics is still fascinating to this day and it still represents the biggest seismic shift in the comic industries landscape. In a nutshell, the era is the early 90s, the seven biggest talents in the industry are all working for Marvel Comics and they have had enough of the way the industry works. They get a lot of flak for being the cause of the comic market crash. That is a sign of the impact they made. DC and Marvel were scrambling to...

The 90′s are synonymous with two things in comics history. The birth of the superstar artist and the crash of the comic market. Are the two related? The polite answer is possibly. But there were many factors that contributed to the crash. Between 1993 and 1997 the comics industry hit an all time low, a low it only recovered from towards the end of the 00′s. Because of the crash a lot of comic book fans look on the 90′s with disdain. But for every fan that hates it there are two who look back at that time with such fondness.

Scènes à faire. Ever heard of it?
It’s an interesting concept that writers and artists encounter when they work, although they may not know what it’s called. It’s French for “scene to be made” or “scene that must be done”. In practical terms, it refers to a scene in a creative work that’s pretty much obligatory for the genre.
If you’re doing a story about a doctor, you will sooner or later have a dramatic shot of a patient on a cart pushed through swinging hospital doors. If you’re doing a story about a lawyer, sooner or later there will be an impassioned speech in front of a judge. If you’re doing a story about a little old lady in Maine who writes mysteries, sooner or later there will be a dead body. If there’s an evacuation, there will be a...

An anti-hero from Hell, Spawn is one of artist Todd McFarlane’s most iconic creations, and he is the subject of a new adult coloring book that will be released by Image Comics this April:

1963 #1-6 (1993)
Written by Alan Moore
Drawn by Rick Veitch, Dave Gibbons, Steve Bissette, Don Simpson, John Totleben and Jim Valentino
Colors by Marvin Kilroy and Tony Tollin
Published by Image Comics
If such a thing could be called it, 1963 is minor Alan Moore. In 1993, Image Comics was still a very young company created by the “hot” artists of the time when Jim Valentino, always the most old timey alternative rebel of the Image crew, got Moore, Steve Bissette, Rick Veitch, John Totleben and a bunch of their friends to create 1963, a pastiche on the early days of Marvel comics. The Fantastic Four becomes Mystery Incorporated. Iron Man becomes the Hypernaut. Spider-Man becomes The Fury, and the Avengers become The Tomorrow Syndicate. Image’s slick and calculated characters took a backseat to Moore and company’s retro insanity. To create a whole package, even the ads and editorial pages recreate the feeling of a bygone age.

Purchase: https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/rat-queens-special-braga-1
You may have felt it: that odd hole in your heart. Like a tiny piece of you has gone missing. You may have noticed that you’re not alone. Almost as if your local comic book store is a little quieter, sadder even. Sound on Sight is feeling it. That is, until this week when we held a copy of Rat Queens Special: Braga #1 in our sweaty palms. Suddenly the sadness was gone, replaced by a sense of joy and wonder and that’s when we knew; we need Rat Queens.
After taking a bit of a hiatus to switch out artists, Kurtis J. Wiebe (Peter Panzerfaust) throws us hungry fans a bone with a lovely little one-shot. This special focuses on Braga,...
