Guardians of the Galaxy combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with Annihilation: Conquest #1–6, then compare it with Guardians of the Galaxy #1–6 (2008) and Marvel Super-Heroes #18. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
