Magus says he's got another hand to play despite the Matriarch's failure to release the Fault god creatureAnd Rocket Racoon's plan was pretty badass.
Spoiler:
Maybe he referring to Thanos upbringing? I seen glimpse of issue#26 cover with Thanos.
Liking this comic less by the issue.
The writer is spending way too much time on uninteresting characters like the "other" guardians there and the Church. Fault is a great way to bring something new into the mix, not give the Church another chance to play the role as villains. Further more, I would have loved it if they put Maelstrom to use, but it looks like that won't happen.

Nah, I like the Church though. The thing with DnA is that they like to bring up the past and make it relevant again. I think DnA is going to give the Church and Magus another to establish that lost future Warlock destroyed in the current 616. The Badoon has been touched upon and eventually I think is to push them into the lime light as an established power in the 616 as well. The Kree/Skrull/Shi'Ar have long been the major powers but I think they want further changes to the landscape. Magus even commented on Gladiator's new role and that they need a strong leader to lead them into this new dark age that the horrors the Fault would bring.
Also, have you been reading Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard? The first issue is slow but the third one kicks it up. It's way more interesting and delves into more of the Fault's inhabitants. There's also some surprises that makes things a lot more interesting when coupled with events in GOTG.
With Thanos coming back, the End Wars thing might be true. The Fault is a universe where life has won and is spreading like cancer. Magus is still the Champion of Life. Thanos return may indicate he'll again be the Champion of Death. There's something brewing especially with all of this. I think Maelstrom and Quasar will be champions of their Oblivion and Infinity once again. So here's hoping there's going to be some kind of struggle between the abstracts.
I agree with Kris that they should spend less time with internal issues on Knowhere and the Church and explore more of the cosmic possibilities of other villains. Now, this can get better when they face the fault more directly or when Thanos makes a comeback, but still, enemy-wise, current issues are kind of stale.

That Champion thing is a little bit too "Blackest night" for my test, but still, having Maelstrom develop into some sort of "cosmic Loki" would be cool though.

It's lost a lot of focus.
It started well with issue 1 of Imperial Guard, Inhumans and the Realm of Kings one-shot, but now that it's just tie-ins it feels as though a lot is being forgotten.
I expected The Fault to make a bigger impact. I hope it gets better. I'm enjoying Imperial Guard though.

I like the fact that Mentor makes a rather good preator, even if the Imperial Guard loses a lot of its punching power without Gladiator. Personally I would like to have him in the front lines again, but I just don't see who can be a fitting replacement. (Is Vulcan's wife still in a comma? Technically she would still be of the royal family)
