History ComicBook / OldManQuill

* AbnormalAmmo: [[spoiler: Dr. Doom destroyed the Ultimate Nullifier, so Quill had to find another way to kill Comicbook/{{Galactus}}. He succeeds by loading his revolver with the Time Stone and shooting Galactus in the head with it. This time-displaces part of Galactus's brain and he dies.]]

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Galactus is dead, but Dr. Doom is alive. [[Comicbook/{{Champions 2016}} Viv Vision]] hopes Star Lord can stay and join her forces, but Star Lord must return to space and deal with the remnants of the Church of Universal Truth.]]

* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Comicbook/{{Thanos}}]] briefly pops up in issue #10, [[CallToAgriculture now living on a Titanian farm]] and sporting an uncharacteristically mellow attitude. When he sees the Universal Church's fleet flying overhead, he remarks that Earth is screwed [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight and promptly returns to his work]].
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: It turns out the other Guardians (Comicbook/{{Gamora}}, Comicbook/RocketRaccoon, [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Mantis]], and Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer) were killed fighting Galactus long ago and Quill has been hallucinating them by his side.]]
* DentedIron: Sure, Comicbook/{{Taskmaster}}'s photographic reflexes made him a deadly fighter...as a younger man. When you're in your 80s, all your reflexes are automatically slowed.

* LivingBattery: [[spoiler: The Comicbook/SilverSurfer has been captured, with Galactus siphoning off his Power Cosmic to fuel the machine the Church uses to subjugate people.]]

* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Peter survives his adventures on Earth, but with the Guardians dead he's got no way to deal with all the remnant Church forces. So he creates another Guardian team that includes Comicbook/BetaRayBill, Comicbook/{{Nova}}, [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Nebula]], Moondragon and a baby Comicbook/{{Groot}}.]]

* {{Cameo}}: [[spoiler: Comicbook/{{Thanos}}]] briefly pops up in issue #10, [[CallToAgriculture now living on a Titanian farm]] and sporting an uncharacteristically mellow attitude. When he sees the Universal Church's fleet flying overhead, he remarks that Earth is screwed [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight and promptly returns to his work]].

* YourHeadAsplode: Rocket ([[spoiler: actually Peter]]) kills Bulldozer by firing a grenade into his mouth.

"Old Man Quill" is a 2019 comic by Ethan Sacks and Robert Gill. It is set in ComicBook/TheWastelands, and features ComicBook/StarLord and the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy... or what's left of them. Just like with ComicBook/OldManLogan, time has not treated well those guys, who are now very far away from their glory days.

* BrokenAce: Peter Quill is still a talented marksman and fighter, but the murder of the people of Spartax, which included his family, [[spoiler: and the other Guardians]], at the hands of the church of Universal Truth has left him in a deep depression.

** [[spoiler: Nova is still alive, apparently having been off-world when the supervillain uprising occurred all those years ago. In the original ''Old Man Logan'' storyline, Nova's helmet was seen in the Red Skull's museum, implying he was one of the many heroes who had been killed.]]

Living in outer space, the Guardians were not reached by the villain uprising that ravaged Earth, but TheBadGuyWins in outer space as well, as the Universal Church of Truth expands its influence. Peter Quill goes back to death to retrieve the Cosmic Nullifier, but things will not be easy.

* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Peter survives his adventures on Earth, but with the Guardians dead he's got no way to deal with all the remnant Church forces. So he creates another Guardian team that includes Comicbook/BetaRayBill, Comicbook/{{Nova}}, Comicbook/{{Nebula|Marvel Comics}}, Moondragon and a baby Comicbook/{{Groot}}.]]

* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: It turns out the other Guardians (Comicbook/{{Gamora}}, Comicbook/RocketRaccoon, Mantis, and Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer) were killed fighting Galactus long ago and Quill has been hallucinating them by his side.]]

* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: It turns out the other Guardians (Comicbook/{{Gamora}}, Comicbook/RocketRaccoon, Comicbook/{{Mantis|MarvelComics}} and Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer) were killed fighting Galactus long ago and Quill has been hallucinating them by his side.]]

* RealityEnsues: Sure, Comicbook/{{Taskmaster}}'s photographic reflexes made him a deadly fighter...as a younger man. When you're in your 80s, all your reflexes are automatically slowed.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: [[spoiler:Quill must retrive the Ultimate Nullifier to stop the Universal Church of Truth, but keeps whining about the loss of Spartax, until the other Guardians take him out of his stupor and force him to go to Earth to find it. Many issues afterwards, they face the Imperial Guard, who tell him that he can't expect to defeat them all alone. He turns to his fellow Guardians, but they are not there. Instead, he remembers a video of them asking for help, and then dying. Mind tricks? Reality warping? No. If the older comics are read again, it can be noticed that Quill is the '''only''' character who ever talks or interacts with anyone else (barring interactions between the Guardians themselves), and other characters reporting the events only talk about him and not about a band of aliens.]]

Living in outer space the Guardians were not reached by the villain uprising that ravaged earth, but TheBadGuyWins in outer space as well, as the Universal Church of Truth expands its influence. Peter Quill goes back to death to retrieve the Cosmic Nullifier, but things will not be easy.

* OnceMoreWithCalrity: After issue seven ends with [[spoiler: the revelation that the other Guardians are long dead and issue eight shows how it happened]], issue nine opens with a two-page montage of events of the earlier issues to show how [[spoiler: it was Quill, all on his own, doing this rather than aided by the rest of the team.]]
