The artwork can be occasionally light on the details, almost to a minimalistic degree sometimes, but simultaneously makes full use of the spaces the panels provide. Seeing Rocket and Groot on an airplane (flying coach) with a rabbi stuck between them is an amusing sight, but it’s complimented well with the rabbi’s occasional interjections, such as questioning the need for Rocket’s exhaustive descriptions about his muscles (that becomes a nice little running gag as well). A noseless alien with a ship that runs on baby powder? Why not? It’s no less goofy than anything else he’s done, and it matches perfectly with the equally goofy mood that Gwenpool brings.Īs befitting of the comic, there are plenty of gags, both in the text and in the visuals. Fortunately for the readers, Rocket is about as invested in the new Civil War as he was in the first (that is to say, not at all) so he takes the first chance he gets to undertake his own mission, which the comic affectionately and frequently refers to as his “secret self-serving plan.”Ībout every other story arc in “Rocket Raccoon and Groot” involves Rocket hunting down some cartoonishly alien bounty, and this plan is no different. Like all comics bearing the “Civil War II” tie-in stamp, it needed to connect to the event in some way, but fortunately for the comic, the Guardians of the Galaxy have agreed to help Captain Marvel, giving Rocket and Groot a reason to be on Earth and a catalyst to start their new quest. I was not expecting to review another comic with Gwenpool a few short weeks after her latest issue, but here we are, as everyone’s favorite spacefaring rodent and tree cross paths with the latest fourth wall-breaker to grace the pages of Marvel Comics. CIVIL WAR II TIE-IN! CAPTAIN MARVEL has called for backup, and ROCKET and GROOT are here to turn the tide! But as CIVIL WAR pits PARTNER against PARTNER, can Rocket and Groot’s friendship survive a TRENCHANT DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUES AT HAND?!?! Probably! But can THEY survive a confrontation with GWENPOOL?!?! ![]()
