Description

This page from Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 2) Issue #2, released June 18, 2008, captures the second in-story moment where the team's name "Guardians of the Galaxy" is introduced by Rocket Raccoon. It is one of four key naming pages that collectively establish the identity of the modern team.

The earliest mention of the team's name occurs in the previous issue, where Mantis references it through precognitive awareness. That page, from Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 2) #1, Page 24, is also featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy Throughout Time, unofficial gallery collection of Ian Saint.

This page holds narrative significance as Rocket Raccoon's declaration helps solidify the team's name.

And even though the Rocket passed me by
And Quill can't turn away
'Cause Guardians you never thought you'd Groot
Get lost Gamora page
And letters Vance you never Mantis send
Get Paul or throw away

And now we're grown-up orphans
Don't even know our name
We don't belong to no one, Adam's shame
You could hide beside me
Magyar for the style
And I won't tell no one our name
And I won't tell 'em our name

It's a good thing Rocket told us their name. What would the team have become if they had a different name. I am sure that would make a great What if...?

It is a great home for this type of page. If you ever find an orphan early modern Guardians of the Galaxy page needing a good home, please feel free to let it know that I offer low humidity, a dark place to reduce the effects of light, and will even sing it soft kitty if it is in need of such a song lol.
