ONE LAST JOB
Posted: 121418

Ethan Sacks and Robert Gill will show the future of Star Lord in the 12-issue limited series Old Man Quill. The story will reunite Quill, who is when the story takes place the failed emperor of Spartax reunites with the Guardians of the Galaxy for one last job. The location for the series is the Wasteland, where we have seen the futures of Logan and Hawkeye. Sacks loves the Mark Millar/Steve McNiven decade long concept and wants to do more stories in the setting. In the Wasteland most of the heroes are dead and the villains are in charge but find that getting what you wanted doesn’t always work out. When the story begins Quill hasn’t been around the Guardians for a few decades but they find they need him to stop a galactic force from destroying what's left of the universe. The mission takes them to Earth but it’s not exactly the Earth they were expecting. Quill was always a lighter character but in this series he will be haunted and more like he was when Steve Englehart created him in 1976. Sacks says that during the series we will see Ashley, Hawkeye's estranged daughter and Spider-Man's grand-daughter.
