What's your preference when it comes to Pete's origins? It's a MESS. Do you think we should just mix everything? Is there stuff you'd prefer if everyone ignored? What do you think his relationship with his father should be like? ...are there any actually good comics dealing with Spartoi?

Look at me anon. LOOK AT ME. Peter Quill's best origin exists for a single issue & it's where he's the homicidal second coming of Christ.

Seriously though, while I do adore that origin and how interesting it is from a meta point when you view it from where we are now or even where we were in the 90s Star-Lord series, I like where we are now. I'm obsessed with where we are now.

It's such a good blend of everything that enhances a lot of mediocre shit in Peter Quill's backstory. Evil J'son has been mostly one-note, but the current retcon that Ewing did, mixed with the story on Morinus, IMO makes Peter & J'son have a dynamic that could be as interesting as Gamora & Thanos'.

As for comics dealing with Spartoi... I enjoy the old 70s Star-Lord comics, at least a little? Like how long J'son has been at war, the family drama of it all, etc, it's a solid base!

Other than that. Um. I hate to say it, but I guess it'd Legendary Star-Lord Annual #1. It's no secret that I hate that series but with Victoria, there's at least an attempt to explore what life would actually be like for someone on Spartoi - specifically, a person of color on Spartoi.

Bonus of the 70s stories though, they feature Kip & Sandy who are my everything!
