Riding on the success of Guardians of Galaxy’s theatrical outing, it has encouraged Marvel to give its characters new found fan base to translate into a special comic book dedicated to the lovable character ‘Groot’.
Rocket Racoon’s new series last year saw the talking racoon selling more than 300,000 copies of the first issue. The new comic will see Groot’s backstory and also how he and Rocket Racoon met in the first place.
Marvel’s official logline read:
When Rocket and Groot are on an intergalactic roadtrip and calamity strikes, the two get separated — and for the first time in years, Groot’s on his own! Written by comedic ace Jeff Loveness (“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”) and drawn by Marvel Comics newcomer Brian Kesinger (Disney Animation), get a front row seat for EXPLOSIONS, SPACE SHARKS, ALIENS, AND INTERGALACTIC HITCHIKING (YEAH, BABY! YOU READ THAT RIGHT)! Whatever may be coming Groot’s way, one thing’s for sure — it’s going to be a GROOT adventure!
