okay marvel has this listed as a children’s series but it’s definitely NOT!i usually say something about the art last in my review but the art is so fantastic i have to say it first! it is so bright and colorful.overall the story is eh, basically rocket’s ex girlfriends are all trying to kill him. boring kinda, but the way it’s executed is HILARIOUS! i was laughing every issue, especially issue #5.all of the guardians are in this but only star lord and groot have a main (kinda) roll.i am groot.

Much better than the Rocket & Groot book I read not too long ago. Loved that this was drawn by Skottie Young but some of the stories were lacking such as the one told by Groot.

3.5 out of 5 starsThis was a heck of a lot of fun and the bright cartoony art really worked here. Although I did tire of the "I am Groot" every other panel.

Finally, Skottie Young returns to the Marvel Universe! Pulls most of the weight with some help from Jake Parker, a fine artist in his own right. It's guns guns and more guns but the highlight is a single issue story where Groot takes the story-telling reins. Super-violent. Fights an army of x-girlfriends. Way over the top. Nice to see Nowhere and Cosmo turn up. Good collection.

By far the best thing Skottie Young has ever made. Fun, entertaining and full of action and humor.

2.5 starsWow! I'm all alone out here, but I just didn't think the plot was all that entertaining. On the surface it sounds great.Rocket is being hunted by a slew of angry ex-girlfriends, hellbent on kicking his ass into oblivion!At the same time, what appears to be another WhateverRocketIs is running around framing him for multiple murders!There's a visually stunning prison break, tons of great shoot 'em up scenes, and even a really cute story told I Am Groot! style.But in the end, it felt like

"Because really, Rocket and Groot are the only Guardians of the Galaxy you actually care about, right?"

"You guys really are hardcore. Hey, that's a pretty fly name for a group or something. Bust in doors, wave the four-fours, and be all 'we're hardcore' and you're about to be . . ." -- Rocket Raccoon"Can someone please make the small furry thing stop talking?!" -- 'war-grade mech' robotYou know it's a sign of trouble when the robot seems to have the right idea for this volume. Other than a half-dozen or so pages early on where RR is briefly incarcerated and holding court with the new cellmates, A...

This was just so much fun to read. Yes, it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect to see out of a Rocket solo (mostly a Rocket and Groot buddy book, but whatever). There's lots of action and it's far from serious. The first issue is especially fast-paced and fun to read, but I liked the entirety of the first storyline. The Groot issue is weird and funny, and I really liked that, too. But the last issue is just kind of filler. Yes, bringing in Cosmo and Knowhere was a good idea, and the running

Rocket Raccoon has shot more than a few people in his time guarding the galaxy, but he’s shocked to be accused of multiple murders. He’s even more stunned when he learns the real killer is another armed raccoon because he thought he was one of a kind. Rocket stages a prison break with his buddy Groot and sets out to get some answers, but he’s also got a pack of angry ex-girlfriends on his tail that are hell bent on killing him. I was a little put off by the artwork in this one at first because I...

Very good! So I got this as a gift and I'm glad I got to read this; I have been a fan of Skottie Young and his I Hate Fairyland series and this one did not disappoint! So the story has Rocket framed for murder by someone who looks just like him, while he's trying to find out who, an army of his Ex Girlfriends are chasing him across the galaxy! Story wise, I really enjoyed this one, Young doesn't write Shakespeare or anything; but his ridiculous Saturday morning cartoon story style is something I...

More like a 3.5 star read for me. Not meh like my recent parade, but not quite love at first read either. More on the subject later. FULL REVIEW If there's any comic that I can get being whimsical, unrealistic-in-every-way artwork, it would be a comic starring Rocket Raccoon and his ever present buddy, Groot. So this time, it wasn't the art that got on my nerves. In fact there really wasn't much of anything that got on my nerves, so to speak. It was yet another case of the "mehs" for me with t...

Yes! This was great fun to read! Rocket has always believed he was the last of his kind, but what if he's wrong? And then there's the angry ex-girlfriends ... This volume has wonderfully over the top action, and plenty of humor. Skottie Young knows just the right tone to take, both with the art and the writing. There are sight gags, a guest cameo by Deadpool, and Groot. In fact there's a whole chapter narrated by Groot. Oh yes. This reminded me, in good ways, of Matt Howarth's Those Annoying Pos...

Skottie Young's art is dynamic, highly stylized, energetic, and at times a bit disjointed; unfortunately, so is his writing. The story jumps around so much that at times it became incoherent, and the characters' inane babble is so relentless that one must assume they have all contracted a severe case of dialogical dysentery. I'm really not sure what the intended age group for this is. It's crass, bloody, and sexually suggestive enough that I would normally assume teens, but the plot is so rando

Last year (2013) in the run up to the Guardians of the Galaxy movie this past summer (2014), Brian Michael Bendis was given the task of re-launching the Guardians of the Galaxy comic to prep and gee up the audience in advance. His Guardians series was fairly good (at least to start with) and did the job nicely - Guardians is now a top 10 bestselling comic for Marvel AND a major hit movie. To accompany the print issues, Bendis wrote a limited run of four Infinite Comics – Marvel’s digital line -

Rocket Raccoon by Skottie Young is the kind of children's book that 10-12 year olds gravitate to after their fill of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm and would want to read about a character they've seen on cinema or on television. It's a great gateway comicbook for those not yet ready for the sex and violence of a regular Marvel comic. There's certainly no sex but it does have a load of cartoon style violence.Merged review:Rocket Raccoon by Skottie Young is the kind of children's

I know I'm doing this all backwards. I should read Guardians of the Galaxy first, or at least watch the movie. But let's face it, none of those have Skottie Young's art. The gorgeous covers grabbed my attention, so of course I bought the comics even though I've only first heard of Rocket Raccoon two weeks ago (estimated time). And I have to say that even though I barely know the characters from Guardians, RR hold up pretty well on his own. In the first four issue, RR must deal with another Racco...

My first Skottie Young book and I loved it. Rocket (not a Racoon) is a character which surprisingly has a heap of potential. In this volume we see how Rocket is vulnerable, sensitive, but above all extremely resourceful. He is a friend you want and need to know. He'll do anything for money or for a friend and he's always got a plan. In this episode we see him framed for murder he did not commit by what looks like another Racoo...creature that looks like him, but Rocket is alone in the universe i...

This was right up my alley. Hijinks and silliness and rocket raccoon!The art is friggin gorgeous. I'm in love with the colours and all the little clever background details. Digging a hole out of prison? Of course you need a Shawshank sound effect!The tone was pretty much perfect and all the movie and tv references were fun.Yes, please. More, please.

I'm a little torn. What I liked about Rocket from the movie was how uninvolved he was in relationships. I love the part where he tells Starlord "You've got problems." (after the blacklight comment). That this comic relied on Rocket's smoozing around to establish his character didn't work for me. (Maybe that it somehow detracted from how great his bromance with Groot is). The bitter girlfriend army that went on for four issues kind of just seemed weird. Either way, I adore Skottie Young's art. I
