The unlikeliest hit of any Marvel Studios movie was 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. After a so-so sequel, and appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the gang reunites one last time for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Jumping between stories involving a nightmarish version of Halfworld and exploration of Rocket‘s (Bradley Cooper) past, the return of the most unlikable version of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) we’ve seen on film, the bug-eyed machinations of the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), and the (completely unnecessary) addition of Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), Guardians 3 is a mess. Don’t get me wrong, at times it’s an entertaining mess, but it’s a mess nonetheless.

Rocket #1

Rocket #1 comic reviewThere’s quite a bit of set-up in the first issue of the new series starring one of the Guardians of the Galaxy‘s most notorious (and furriest) members. Savoring a few drinks in one of the galaxy’s lower-rent bars, a ghost from Rocket Raccoon‘s past walks back into his life with a sob story and a proposition. Unsure whether or not he can trust Otta Spice, who already sold him up the river once to save herself, it takes a bit of convincing to push Rocket out of his drunk reverie and into action to put together an alien crew for a heist.

Marvel's Rocket and Groot television review

Over a series of one dozen short one and two-minute adventures, Rocket Raccoon (Trevor Devall) and Groot (Kevin Michael Richardson) attempt to put together 3,000,000 credits to buy a new ship. Although the shorts are connected with the common theme of earning money, each adventure is self-contained as the pair race Blackjack O’Hare, steal a golden egg, and cash-in on a series of bounties (including one for Groot himself). The moral of the story is obvious to the audience before our heroes, whose work provides them with rewards less grand than they were expecting, but while it lasts it’s a fun ride.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot #6

Rocket Raccoon and Groot #6Another tale of Rocket Raccoon and Groot‘s adventures shows off the competitive nature of the two best-friends. Starting simply with a game of pool, things escalate quickly as Groot continues to beat out Rocket at everything from drinking games and darts to a galactic space race.

When the pair are contacted by old friend General Dock in the middle of their race, Rocket and Groot head for planet Olim Seven to pay off their debt and help the war against creatures known as Kiffs. Not wasting the opportunity, Rocket and Groot immediately make killing the creatures part of their competition which, because of their ferocity, ends a war that has last 1,000 years. (Who says competition is bad?)
