All we should say here is, “I am Groot” and that should suffice, right?
Nah.
Marvel Comics is kicking off the very first Groot series on June 3rd and now they’ve provided a look at the cover and variant as well as unlettered pages from what should be one of the more interesting (and potentially beautiful) books out there. The series comes from writer Jeff Loveness (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Amazing Spider-Man Special) with artist Brian Kesinger (Disney Animation) for a galactic road trip of epic proportions.
Plot concept: It’s not all fun and games as for the first time in years, Groot is separated from his pal (and translator) Rocket Raccoon. Can he make it on his own in the big, scary galaxy? Armed with just the words “I”, “Am” and “Groot” – he’s about to embark on a new kind of adventure. Explosions! Intergalactic Hitchiking! Aliens! Space Sharks! That’s just the first issue! Keep your eyes peeled on the rest of the series and you might spot a couple of intergalactic guest stars! Bursting at the seams with action, adventure, excitement and heart – fans will not want to miss out on this exciting new series! Prepare for high adventure in deep space this June as GROOT #1 sprouts up in comic shops this June!
