Congratulations Jason! You won CAF today.
As always, a splendid write-up that draws attention to what's noteworthy about the piece! Wish more folks would follow your example (myself included).
Totally agree, sort of. While that background truly does make the piece, I just can't stop drooling over all that gorgeous linework on Starlord. But of course the best way is to just take this all in as a whole. Congrats on a beautiful, beautiful, page.
Ending the year strong! That is definitely a moon!
Now that's how you kick off a good annual issue! I love a good group/team character roll call page like this!!! Awesome title splash/page, congrats.
Last panel would make for a fun T-shirt!
This is a fantastic page! Hard to find Cho interiors, but love the full team here and the man on the moon!

As usual, your excellently written description leaves me at a loss for words. Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to see this and chat about it with you privately already, so I don't feel so bad about the fact that I won't regurgitate whatever I previously said into type written words. Suffice it to say that I don't have a clue what this "and the cow jumped over the moon" reference you made is all about, but I'll just satisfy myself by continuing to enjoy this gigantic Guardians of the Galaxy team page with, dare I say it, an even more excellent background! Congrats, pal!
Cho really leaves little to the imagination. It's all right there to marvel over. Beautiful little vignettes add so much fun to the composition.
So clean and so cool how you've got the big splashy Star-Lord and the team headshots!
Oh written in the stars
A million miles away
A message to the page
Oh
Seasons annual
But my Quill never change
Drax I'm on my way
Lets go...
Yeah
You're listening now
They say they ain't heard Venom like this in a while
That's why they play my song to Cho’s lovely vigilant Carol
'Cause I got more new Bendis, lettered mission gone Cowles
So when they see me everybody Goot’s, Groot’s
Man I'm like a young gun fully Drax is back
I cried tear drops over the massive attack
I only make hits like I work with a Rocket like that
Look at my jacket by Frank
So damn berserk
So down to Earth
I'm bringing gravity back
Adopted by the writer I want my fantasy crack
People work art just to get all their Galaxy taxed
Look I'm just Gamora from the Thanos like happily random
Where the hell's all the sanity at, damn
I used to be the kid that Cho once cared about
That's why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out
Great Title Page and Roll Call! Over the Moon, indeed!
A great roll call page! And I just love roll call pages. Very intriguing that Venom is part of the team. I hope he doesn't try to eat Groot!
Wally Wood by Cho without outrage or in your face TnA?
Spectacularly done I'd say ;)
Nice!
A great splashy page with some iconic imagery, great find and addition to your collection.
Such a fun shot of starlord
Absolutely stunning title page by the great Frank Cho for Guardians of the Galaxy Annual #1. I love title pages like this one, that reintroduce the main characters to the reader. I love large half-splashes like this one, of Starlord leaping through outer space past a beautifully detailed moon. I love the contrast between Starlortd's highly detailed hellmet and rippling trench coast with the heavily crosshatched background. And I love the tiny panels featuring tight closerups of the other team members. Gorgeous art by Frank really makes this title page a stand-out.
Yeah this just cant be beat. Frank Cho, when he gets to use the full extent of his inking prowess is unstoppable. I agree, it evokes the star gazing epic scale of the old pulp stories and sci fi comics of the past. And of course, Rocket's on the page, which halways adds points for me!
Cho my gosh! This is stunning! I missed this before, so it was cool seeing it on Ruben's show!
Lovely title splash page. Congrats.
Yes! I KNOW you were stoked to get this one! Gotta love the establishing SL splash followed by the panel shots o' the team! This ain't a cover?! And Cho gives you that legit contrast with the less rendered characters vs the background. Pure visual goodness. Congrats!
