Guardians of the Galaxy - Annihilation: Conquest

Mind me, it is not a bad novelization-cum-rewriting of the modern Guardians' origins: it just fails to deliver in terms of emotions.
I mean, I am in the process of rereading everything Rocket Raccoon & Guardians, and the Annihilation: Conquest comic book saga still delivers a better punch, in terms of writing. The author of this novel played it right: Rather than copying the comic books events, he decided to skip something, rewrite some parts, make this book a new and yet familiar ground.
BUT, far as emotions goes, it gets boring at times. If this was a movie, you could see the actors playing without putting their hearts in it.
