Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

And this is not a spoiler: there is Kraven on the cover and, well they don't look like they're about to execute the most epic hug ever.   This works: it's hilarious, it's full of heart, and you see some of the best of Rocket.   But not quite the best.   He's always the best with Groot and after three issues without Groot, well...

What I don't understand is why Groot and Rocket didn't stay together after the Guardians split up, so I'm hoping to see Groot eventually.   As it stands, a Rocket solo outing is fun.   Rocket gets called out on his hyper violence, by Kraven of all people, and I had to laugh at the lack of irony with with Kraven spoke. 

Still, I want more.   I want the warmth that Groot brings to Rocket, and I could tell that while I enjoyed this greatly, I didn't enjoy it as much without Groot.
