Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Crew

August 01, 2014/ Empire's Comics Vault

Thank you, Empire's fans! You really made a showing at last night's movie! Wow. And from the looks of the video we made you really loved it. Here's a photo from the night as a souvenir. Can't wait for Guardians 2, but there are so many great movies ahead for us before that.

Guardians of the Galaxy on July 31, 2014. Thanks for a great time.

If you are reading this and didn't make it last night, we hope you'll seriously consider joining us next time.

p.s. If you're in this picture, stop by to pick up the Rolly Buttons you earned!
