Rocket Raccoon and Groot

Skottie Young and Aaron Conley took the reins of this 2016 Marvel series, a short but lively three-issue run that pairs the galaxy's most bickering, tree-and-raccoon duo. While building on the characters created by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, Young's signature cartooning gives their cosmic misadventures a playful, modern energy. It's a compact, visually punchy chapter in the long history of Rocket and Groot, perfect for fans who want their space-faring buddy comedy served fast and funny.
