Star-Lord Gets a New Look in Upcoming Marvel Comics Solo Series

Guardians of the Galaxy’s Star-Lord is getting his own solo comic book series with Marvel NOW! and thanks to Comicbook.com we get our first look at his new costume, which was designed by artist Kris Anka. Talking about the new costume he come up with, Anka said:

“My basic approach with this new Star-Lord design was I wanted one that encompassed all his previous designs. I think it's safe to say Peter has had a lot of different costumes over time, so I wanted to bring them all together into one cohesive look.
“The first thing I knew I wanted was to make the undershirt a throwback to Peter's original costume; it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Everything else was forged out of creating a combination between his movie costumes, which he has been rolling around in, with his [Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy] military looking costume. The helmet is iconic now, so that didn't change.”

Star-Lord writer Chip Zdarsky chimed in to talk about the artist and Star-Lord’s now look saying:

"I've said it before that if you have Kris Anka on your book and DON'T get him to re-design something? You're a monster. So I'm eternally grateful that our bosses Jordan D. White, Kathleen Wisneski, Darren Shan, Axel Alonso, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Walter Disney are NOT monsters so we could get this gorgeous new outfit. It's fresh and fun with some really nice ties to previous outfits. Kris is a genius"

Above is Anka’s cover art for StarLord #2 and below you’ll find some character sketches for you to check out. The new comic is set to hit stores in Fall and I dig the design. I wonder if we’ll ever see a version of it in the movies.
