Continues to be hilarious. Rocket is stranded on Earth and with the Guardians currently broken up, he’s all alone. (I’m not exactly sure why he didn’t wander off with Groot. Although the currently Guardians, which does focus on Groot, may offer an explanation: Groot is at peace with being stranded on Earth and Rocket is clearly not okay with this situation. While Groot normally cheerfully follows Rocket on any adventures, he’s been known to insist they go where he wants to go - including Earth - or leave Rocket for various reasons. I would guess that Groot decided no to get dragged into Rocket’s grudge against the entire planet and everyone on it, and just enjoy things as they are at the moment.)
Every time Rocket gets closer to getting off Earth, something happens. Like a trail of murder and things leading up to the revelation behind that trail of murder. It also sets up a conspiracy plot of sorts against off-world aliens who have found refuge on Earth, and that now includes Rocket. I suspect he’ll have to deal with this, if only to save his own pelt.
Furthermore, this issue has him teaming up with Miles Morales Spider-Man, and the banter is just laugh out loud funny. I was snickering at every come back Rocket had to Spider-Man’s rather polite conversational points. Although Miles really shouldn’t have started to call Rocket a raccoon, or mistaken him for one. The whole ‘aw, did those people make you dress up in that?’ let me know things were not going to go super smoothly for Miles, though.
I look forward to issue three, which I am told will most definitely be put in my subscription folder. (Issues one and two were not, and I was afraid they didn’t have two. I, ah, failed to see it on the rack last week, despite having signed up a month ago for it. I did make a rather polite inquiry/complaint, and made sure I had subscribed for this. I also made sure Black Bolt and The Royals were on my list, but it’s too early for those. Ugh, I want those series so bad! Also, bonus, I walked to the mall twice last week instead of once. So I didn’t feel bad about having ice cream on a Belgian waffle this morning!)
