Even if you're not the most familiar with the characters it's not hard to pick things up. It's Guardians of the Galaxy (sort of like the movies but slightly more serious) + Nova, a normal guy from NYC who became Marvel's version of Green Lantern, except if the whole Green Lantern Corps died.
Before this they all fought and won a terrible war against space bugs, and an evil Borg virus that infects organic people and machine life is the next threat that comes after.
