The Guardians return to Earth.
Star-Lord and Captain Marvel infiltrate the Spartax City Ship Impound, where the Guardians' ship is located. With the ship being under heavy guard, Star-Lord reveals his belt buckle to be a remote control to the ship, enabling him to pilot it out of dock. Once the two heroes are aboard, Captain Marvel suggests getting off planet, but Star-Lord has other plans. He attempts to kamikaze with the Royal Palace, only to break off at the last second, as do the two Royal Air Guard fighters following him. J'son sees this as a sign that his son is not coming back, but that's the least of his problems, as the Spartax populace besiege the royal palace in response to his unwilling confession of tyranny.
Satisfied by his father's humiliation, Star-Lord departs Spartax and decides to find the other Guardians. He then receives a transmission from Gamora, informing him that she and Angela are on Moord, the homeworld of the Brotherhood of the Badoon.
On the Shi'ar Throne World, Gladiator consents to Drax death match challenge. They fight for a brief time and though Drax holds his own, Gladiator has him by the throat and drags him into space, only for the Guardians to show up and rescue Drax.
The Guardians are soon confronted by a Kree warship. They receive a transmission from the Supreme Intelligence, explaining that they will return Rocket unharmed. Also, J'son was not completely upfront with the Kree when he offered them a part in his plan to publicly shame Star-Lord. Thus, the Kree had no animosity against the Guardians or their home planets and thank Star-Lord for publicly outing his father. They then reveal that Groot was handed over to the Brood Queen, who abandoned him on Rigel 8.
Upon being brought onboard, Rocket wakes up abruptly, with no memory of the Kree's experiments.
The Guardians arrive on Rigel 8 and narrowly rescue Groot.
Returning to Knowhere, the Guardians search for Venom but he's nowhere to be found.
The Guardians of the Galaxy vote to expel Starhawk from their ranks. Martinex decides to leave the team and Earth in order to pursue his vision of a truly galactic group of Guardians. In this issue, Stakar, Aleta and a third entity appear to be struggling to control their shared body. Stakar claimed that it was the Hawk-God who had been controlling themGuardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 19 but Aleta later realized that that was a lie.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 20 After learning about the violent and ruthless street army known as the Punishers, Vance Asto realizes that they could only have learned about "Frank Castle" from his docu-chips about 20th century heroes, and he blames himself. However, Doctor Doom would later reveal to Rancor and her five surviving lieutenants that he had deliberately released Astro's docu-chips to "the proper criminal element" in order to trigger the formation of the Punishers so that they would divert the attention of the Commandeers and keep them from discovering that the Saltex Project refinery in the Bronx was the source of the drugged Realitee-Vee (RTV) holo-vids.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 32
