A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
I can imagine a tale that combines a rag-tag team of space pirates with the futuristic Knights of the Round Table would be filled with lots of cool action and character moments. Camelot 3000 remains a favorite of mine, largely in part to Brian Bolland's amazing artwork. I consider my self very lucky to have been able to pick up an original sketch by Bolland several years back, since he works mostly digitally these days:

Not only that, Ross. But, the 3rd Millenium setting coincides nicely, too. Most modern GOTG fans are too young to realize that they originally started out as 31st century freedom fighters against the reptilian Badoon!
Unless, of course, they've managed to pick up one of those b/w trade paperbacks Marvel periodically issues.
Awesome Joker sketch. But Ross, you've got a small typo in the text ('Nolland' instead of 'Bolland') you might want to fix.
Now I'm wondering who the "her" is that Arthur's referring to. Rey Skywalker, perhaps? Or Capt. Michael Burnham?
As far as space pirates in comics go, my personal favorites are the Spacejammers (led by Corsair, who happens to be Cyclops' and Havok's father). For next 19 September (International Talk Like a Pirate Day) I think it'd be fun to have them meet the greatest space pirate of all: Hondo Ohnaka!
PS @Cary: I'm pretty sure you mean "late 3rd Millennium," since we're currently in the early 3rd; the year 3000 will be the last year of the millennium in that sense. (And the original GotG were more likely set in the 30th century.)
@Ross: Cary's mention of the Badoon got me to thinking: how about Doctor Who and the Guardians of the Galaxy* in an effort to minimize collateral damage in a conflict between the Badoon and the Judoon?
*A good name for a 70s funk band, or another Elton John song title.
Bob - "Her" refers to The Lady In The Lake of Excalibur fame...
Ah! OK. What she's doing on the moon is anyone's guess, of course, but then again comics have a lot going on up there. (At the very least, the Inhumans and the Watcher live there; the Justice League Watchtower has also been located there. Other possible points of interest include WALL-E, the LunarMax prison (Men in Black 3), Moonbase Alpha (Space: 1999), Luther Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy), Luna City One (Judge Dredd), the Mooninites Aqua Teen Hunger Force), and the Exodus ship (Transformers: Armada)... and those are just the ones I can find that might be appropriate for the STFU. (If these were actual comics, I'd want to put in some sort of central meeting place for everyone.)
@Bob Greenwade: Nope! When Marvel reintroduced the Silver Age GOTG as part of their now-classic 1980's series (via the Defenders, and a Thing/Cap two-parter in MTIO before that), they included a reprint of the very first issue of Volume 1. And the origin story clearly used the date "3000 A.D."
As for me, personally? I'm one of those Baby-boomers who will unalterably always regard Jan. 1, 2000 as the start of the 2nd Millenium.*
* "Down with mathematical correctness!"
@Ross: I guess the "Mash-up" reminder is blocking the readers' view of her arm coming up out of the lunar dust.
@Cary: Well, as you admit, that's mathematically incorrect.
First Millennium: 1-1000
Second Millennium: 1001-2000
Third Millennium: 2001-3000
So there. Nyah.
You're both wrong! The 1st Millenium began in Zero A.D.
:P :P
Camelot 3000 vs. MST3K?
@Anon@7:53: There was no Zero AD. There's just 1 BC (one before) and AD 1 (the first year "of").
@Ross: Here's yet another weird thought that just came into my head (which, I think you've noticed, is fertile ground for weird thoughts): Daredevil and Dr. Mid-Nite (if not all of Blind Justice) reunite to serve as bodyguards for Mr. Magoo.
But, mathematically, there's _always_ a zero between negative and positive integers. And even Mr. Magoo could see that.
"Oh, Anon! You've done it, again. Ah! Ah!"
@Anonymous1017: You've got a good point.
But, then again, so does a dunce cap.
@Cary: at least I know the difference between BC and AD. Only the PC give an f about CE and BCE.
