In a post-apocalyptic future, Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord finds Peter Quill (Timothy Busfield) and Rocket (Chris Elliott) a little paunchier, a little slower, and a lot saltier than they were during the glory days of the Guardians of the Galaxy. They quickly discover the Earth isn't what it used to be either, when they crash land 30 years after all the world's super villains seized control.
The former Guardians are accompanied by a Rigellian Recorder, affectionately dubbed "Cora", who documents their mission to find the Black Vortex--an ancient relic reported to yield cosmic powers--before guillotine collars bestowed upon them by The Collector snap their necks. In the barren, desolate wasteland of the mid-west as controlled by Doctor Doom, they encounter the ageless telepath, Emma Frost, outlaw Ghost Riders, and the bloodthirsty Kraven the Hunter. Who will find the Black Vortex first and what will be the price of its power?
Written by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine: The Long Night, Wolverine: The Lost Trail), directed by Kimberly Senior (Disgraced), and sound designed with original scoring by Mark Henry Phillips (Homecoming, Passenger List). Learn more at marvel.com/wastelanders

Customer Reviews
Cool
I listen while I work, very entertaining. Good listen. Rocket and Starlord sound the same in many moments, had to double back a few times to clarify who was talking during some of the back and forth. Very good though, I’ll be listening to all the wastelanders for sure.
Pretty Good
Pretty good and entertaining. The charactizatioms are very well done, unlike Old Man Wolverine. Except for maybe Doom. I haven’t listened to his show yet but the Doom in this does not talk like Doom should. I know it’s an audio drama but he would not explain everything he’s done and talk like he does in here. All in all a good show. My only gripe throughout was that Peter and Rocket sound dang near the same, it’s hard to tell who’s talking.
Great Podcast, except one thing…
If the Rygelian Recorder records everything audio and visual. why are we only experiencing the audio portion? not plot hole per se but overall very good podcast.
