Solicit Synopsis

Before the Guardians… there was Gamora!

From screenwriter Nicole Perlman — co-writer of the Guardians of the Galaxy screenplay — and Marvel superstar artist Marco Checchetto comes a killer new ongoing series! Once upon a time she was Thanos’ heartless pet assassin and favorite daughter. Today, she is the backbone of the Guardians of the Galaxy, putting her life on the line to defend the innocent. What was it that transformed her from being used as a tool of her oppressor, to a champion of the powerless? Embark on a journey of revenge and redemption, and witness how Gamora earned her reputation as the Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy.

Notes

• Nebula is shown as a cyborg in this story, but she only became one much later on, in Silver Surfer (Vol. 3) #73.

Trivia

• The doll that Gamora smashes against Nebula's head was given to her by Thanos back in Marvel Holiday Special #1992.
