Who are the Guardians 1000? Defending the galaxy is a good gig, but Drax isn't thrilled with the combat hours (not enough of them) and Rocket isn't thrilled with the compensation (not enough of it). They're off on an adventure to supplement both, and Groot is happy to come along. But instead of the perks they want, they're about to get more trouble than they can handle. Good thing the Guardians 3000 are on hand to help! But what about...the Guardians 1000!? Also in this issue, Latour and Cheung tell a one-off story of Ben Grimm and Rocket Raccoon; stuck on a planet where culture is based on Earth-style professional wrestling...but the stakes are life and death! This ain't Kayfabe, Brother!

ONE GUARDIAN, INFINITE TROUBLE. Newcomer god Hermetikus has captured all the Guardians, possibly to turn them into unwilling brain donors! Just one hero manages to slip away: Nikki Gold must find her way through the Structure, with nothing but her wits and her guns. Plus, Kitty Pryde and Gamora team-up to figure out if there's more than ONE Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe!

God of the Newcomers Hermetikus was there at the inception of the Guardians of the Galaxy…and if he has his way, he'll be there at the END! And writer Robbie Thompson (Venom: Space Knight, Silk, Spidey) reveals more about the noble, mysterious Space Knights!

THE CONCLUSION OF THE HERMETIKUS SAGA! All three generations of the Guardians of the Galaxy, reunited and ready for action! It took two thousand years' worth of Guardians of the Galaxy just to face Hermetikus, is there any hope of stopping him? The FINAL TRIAL approaches! If any Guardians SURVIVE, can they escape with their bodies and minds intact?

In the infinite expanse of time and space, is there room for more than one group of Guardians of the Galaxy? You bet there is! Rocket, Groot and Drax are about to go on an adventure so big it will draw in counterparts from a thousand years away. Not just the Guardians 3000 you know and love but also...the Guardians 1000?! But who are these universal protectors from centuries ago? They're not the only newcomers on the scene, and the other arrivals are gearing up for something that can't mean anything good! The past is under attack, but is any time safe? Put your faith in the Guardians of three eras! Plus bonus tales featuring your favorite Guardians including Drax, Rocket, Groot and the Thing!
