Premise

In the series' storyline, a devastated elderly Peter Quill, now the Emperor of Spartax succeeding his father J'son, is seemingly found by an aged version of the Guardians of the Galaxy, recruiting him for one more adventure back on Earth that will give him revenge on Galactus, who is planning on consuming the planet, the Wastelands of which are now ruled by supervillains, including Spider-Bitch and Doctor Doom. [lower-alpha 1] It is eventually revealed that Quill has been hallucinating all of the other Guardians for the duration of his quest, and the real Guardians have been killed by Galactus. With the Ultimate Nullifier having been destroyed, Quill eventually defeats Galactus by shooting him in the head with the Time Stone, displacing part of Galactus's brain, before forming a new team of Guardians to travel the galaxy and deal with the rest of the Church of Galactus.
