So Marvel decided to try capitalizing off the popularity of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy and give him his own series. 

When I first found out they were doing this, the first question that popped into my mind was "Why?" followed by "How?"

I mean, seriously. How the heck do you do a comic book series where the main character only says three words and constantly needs an interpreter? Wouldn't said interpreter end up overshadowing or carrying the weight of the storytelling?

You know, edspecially if that interpreter is a certain talking raccoon filled to the brim with attitude. 

Check out the full review below to find out! And don't forget to let me know what you thought of the issue if you read it!

I liked this comic. I was a big fan of the Rocket Raccoon series even though I wasn't crazy about Skottie Young art work, I warmed up to it. I'm curious to see where the first arc goes with Groot. It's nice to get away from the ultra serious comics and just have fun with this book.
