Titan Books has been quickly growing its Infinity Saga collection of artbooks with frequent releases, bringing back the original series that ran from 2008's Iron Man, to 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home. A set back has hit their next release though, which collects the concept art for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Previously set to be published on August 26th, Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The Art of the Movie has been delayed to September 16th. This is only a delay of a few weeks and fortunately doesn't affect the rest of the books in the series. The hardcover comes with over 300 pages and features all of the content that was in the original book.
The books are being released in the same order as the originals from Marvel, which also follows the release order of the movies. Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Spider-Man: Homecoming - The Art of the Movie will be the next release in line and is due on October 7th, so as this delay still puts the book's publishing date before this, there has been no knock-on effect.
Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The Art of the Movie showcases the talent of the art team that worked on the movie, while also providing commentary from the artists about their approach to the designs. As the movie includes a lot of otherworldly locations, ships and aliens, it makes it one of the more interesting in the series. Like the artbook for the first movie with the Guardians team, it highlights how the artists could be creative with their ideas, exploring strange landscapes and strange looking creatures that you don't get with most other movies in the MCU.
The Titan Books' series is a great way for those that missed out on the books, or those that are new fans, to add them to their shelves at an often very reasonable price. Although a little smaller and without a slipcase, the books come with improved binding and a high print quality. Previous releases have been seen on sites like Amazon heavily discounted, going as low as $15/ £10, an incredible deal for a wealth of artwork, especially when some of that shows the early iterations of the now iconic on-screen depictions of heroes and villains. This is made more appealing as some of the original versions are harder to come by now, sometimes selling deep into triple digits.
To get an idea of what to expect, you can read my review of their last release, Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Doctor Strange: The Art of the Movie, which also includes comparisons to the original version with photos, such as the one below. Read it here.
The top book is the original, below is the Titan Books Infinity Saga release.
2016's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 saw the return of Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon and Groot for another adventure filled with action, comedy and heart. After a botched job leads to a galaxy-wide chase, they encounter Ego, a powerful celestial being and Peter’s long-lost father. Of course, being a Marvel movie, especially one with group of troubled characters, things don't go smoothly and the Guardians find themselves having to be the heroes again. This upcoming book features a look at the art for each step of the story, including costumes, ships, locations, key frames, and the introduction of the fan-favourite character Mantis.
A copy will be joining the collection, so a review will be shared here when it arrives on September 16th. The first two Guardians of the Galaxy artbooks are personal highlights for me in the Marvel published original series, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this one compares to that release.
