The pre-Secret Wars series Groot was fun. So was Skottie Young’s Rocket Raccoon, though not quite as “cute” as his artwork would imply. Combine these two best friends in the galaxy and… well, it’s definitely worth a shot. And looking at the interior artwork by Felipe Andrade — I actually like it better than Young’s.
