Rocket Raccoon Issue #3 came out approximately 6 days ago and yeah, i’m late...sue me. Rocket Raccoon thus far has been acute little series that I look forward to buying for every month but this issue has me feeling lukewarm at best.
Spoilers*
So in short summary, this issue of Rocket Raccoon features an “epic” battle against the princesses that have spite against him...the problem is, this battle is anything but epic. The comic spent up all of its proverbial foreshadowing points the last couple of issues on building up this princess battle that was teased on the last page or two of Rocket Raccoon #2..and we were robbed of the fight. The fight lasts four pages and the “heroic” party warps away in Star Wars style and that ends it. So, for me as far as the action in concerned I was disappointed.
The one thing this issue does do however is keep up the humor and attitude. Rocket Raccoon always has an edginess and wit to him and in the previously mentioned warp away from trouble, the comic payed a little homage to Star Wars that I found hilarious. Another comedic element that I enjoy is Groot. It is hilarious to insert your own words and have a mini conversation between Rocket Raccoon. For example. Groot will say “I am Groot” and Rocket Raccoon responds, “Well I’m sorry, she was just a fresh young sapling! She’ll get over it!” Brilliant. (By the way, I made that dialogue up..Marvel where ya at!”
This issue is plot heavy and that is a positive. I haven’t seen a plot heavy issue of Rocket Raccoon yet and this is why I feel lukewarm about it. Rocket Raccoon has been fast paced and action packed and although there are fight scenes, they are very predictable. Rocket Raccoon is colder than ice. He always wins, until maybe some unforeseen thing that happened at the end that I will refrain from spoiling given the amount of spoilers.
Pick Up Rocket Raccoon at your local Comic Book Store or on Marvel.com
