Stark, The Thing, Venom, Kitty Pryde, Captain Marvel for a bit.
I will say that Star Lord's relationship with Kitty has been one of the parts during the Bendis run I have enjoyed. It is an odd pairing, but Kitty is such a fun character. They have a good rapport.
I don't like his Gamora as much, she's been better. She's supposed to be the deadliest woman in the galaxy, not the grumpiest!
Now Rocket, on the other hand, he understands that guy beautifully.

Yes Rocket absolutely does. Baby Boo XD I see what you mean about Kitty. And what I felt including her in the GOTG stories was that getting people to care about the comic too, also I felt the reverse that they were trying to have her piggyback on the Guardians new success, X-Men are like a worldwide known comic fans everyone knows about the X-Men-the way the comic line was currently going I felt maybe they were trying to revive it with Guardians and personally I would have liked it more centered on the Guardians themselves, and in terms of Star Lord line more character development. But yeah I just felt some of the stuff was a little forced. And Gamora did feel more stuffy in that sense it made for a fun contrast though. I even looked as far back to when Mantis was on the team (not written by Bendis I believe) and how Star Lord persuaded everyone to join.
