Guardians of the Galaxy: Best Story Ever #[nn]

In "Business Opportunities," Rocket stumbles into a high-stakes rescue mission when he boards a silent cargo ship and finds Princess Lynx trapped aboard. Tensions flare as their clashing tactics and personal agendas put them at odds—until a sudden ambush forces them to rely on Groot’s unexpected intervention. With the ship in ruins and the odds against them, Rocket makes a surprising choice: instead of cashing in on the bounty, he sets his sights on Blackjack O'Hare’s crown.

In "null," Rocket is hunted on the lawless planet Parametar, where a gang of low-life thugs closes in—led by a figure who looks unmistakably like Groot. With no way to tell friend from foe, Rocket must navigate betrayal and danger in a fight for survival, where even his closest ally might be an illusion.

In "Acts of Destruction," Moondragon makes a rare move—seeking to understand Drax the Destroyer, whose body houses the lingering essence of her father’s soul. When she finds him unconscious after an alien attack, she brings him to Avengers Mansion, where a sudden, violent surge from the alien-controlled Drax forces Thor to intervene.
