While hardly the first new series in recent years to spotlight a lone member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax does have one unusual selling point. This new series is co-written by former WWE star CM Punk. With fellow pro wrestler Dave Bautista exposing Drax to a much wider audience last year, it's fitting that Punk would take on the Destroyer as the next phase in his budding career as a comic book creator. This first issue offers plenty of fun and an easy gateway into Drax's comic book adventures, but it's hardly the deepest addition to the All-New, All-Different Marvel lineup.
Punk and co-writer Cullen Bunn take a very movie-inspired approach to Drax here. He's written as a very literal-minded bruiser at a loss for how to conduct himself when the time for destroying has ended. I don't mind the series leaning so heavily on the film except where the issue of Drax's vendetta against Thanos is concerned. That's not really the character's defining purpose in life in this post-Annihilation era, and dredging it up again seems like a cheap and easy way to get the conflict rolling. But as this is clearly one of those books where the journey is far more important than the destination, this isn't a huge concern in the end. The writers take a very lighthearted approach to Drax's world (despite the allusions to his dead family) and craft a book very much at home alongside the recent Rocket Raccoon and Groot comics.
