Superhero Bits: The Nothing But 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' Edition
Tuesday, we'll be back with Black Panther, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Batman v Superman and more. But today, this edition of Superhero Bits is nothing but a celebration of the superhero movie currently in theaters, Guardians of the Galaxy.
For example, want to read some great analysis of the post-credits scene? Can you buy a homemade version of Groot? Where are all the Infinity Gems? Why is Thanos such a bad villain? Is it possible to survive in space without gloves? How did the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and Walkman survive 30 years? Who is Star Lord's Dad? Did the creator of Rocket Raccoon get to see the film? Read about all this and more in today's (spoiler filled) Guardians of the Galaxy centric edition of Superhero Bits.
