But what can the studios do to keep these films fresh? To avoid viewer fatigue? It takes something&#8230;<em>different<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Marvel dug deep and came up with Guardians of the Galaxy &#8211; an obscure group originally created for guest appreances in some comics in 1969, 1974 and 1975, and and a 9 issue run in 1976-77, with additional cameos shortly after. A 62 issue series ran in the early 90&#8217;s, and they were rebooted in 2008 (Hmmm&#8230; seems a bit fortuitous&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Guardians offers the street cred to be taken seriously by hardcore fans and just the right touch of self-aware irrevernce to appeal to the masses.<\/p>\n<p>To make such a venture work, however, it takes not just the right material but the right advertising campaign &#8211; one with enough details to tease a summary of the story and enough of the flavor to alert viewers to why they should care. So far, Marvel&#8217;s campaign has been pitch perfect.<\/p>\n<p>That momentum continues, with the launch of The Galaxy Getaways travel agency website, who&#8217;s promotional video appears below.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel may have just made the hit movie of the year.
