Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon

/ / Comics

One of several unusual one-shot pairings, Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon brings Rocket to Latveria to help Doom with a project involving travelling backwards in time to before the Big Bang. It’s a bit of a screwy concept, but it does play on the idea of Doom respecting Rocket’s technological know-how and needing his help to make his latest invention work. I will say, it’s been a bit since I’ve been interested in anything Doom related (see his run as Iron Man) and this does offer some intrigue. The most obvious solution to the set up, which is really just an excuse to have fun putting these two characters together, would be the failure of the experiment. However, that’s not how the comic ends.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

  • Title: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

The unlikeliest hit of any Marvel Studios movie was 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. After a so-so sequel, and appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the gang reunites one last time for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Jumping between stories involving a nightmarish version of Halfworld and exploration of Rocket‘s (Bradley Cooper) past, the return of the most unlikable version of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) we’ve seen on film, the bug-eyed machinations of the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), and the (completely unnecessary) addition of Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), Guardians 3 is a mess. Don’t get me wrong, at times it’s an entertaining mess, but it’s a mess nonetheless.

Rocket #1

/ / Comics

Rocket #1 comic reviewThere’s quite a bit of set-up in the first issue of the new series starring one of the Guardians of the Galaxy‘s most notorious (and furriest) members. Savoring a few drinks in one of the galaxy’s lower-rent bars, a ghost from Rocket Raccoon‘s past walks back into his life with a sob story and a proposition. Unsure whether or not he can trust Otta Spice, who already sold him up the river once to save herself, it takes a bit of convincing to push Rocket out of his drunk reverie and into action to put together an alien crew for a heist.

Marvel's Rocket and Groot television review

Over a series of one dozen short one and two-minute adventures, Rocket Raccoon (Trevor Devall) and Groot (Kevin Michael Richardson) attempt to put together 3,000,000 credits to buy a new ship. Although the shorts are connected with the common theme of earning money, each adventure is self-contained as the pair race Blackjack O’Hare, steal a golden egg, and cash-in on a series of bounties (including one for Groot himself). The moral of the story is obvious to the audience before our heroes, whose work provides them with rewards less grand than they were expecting, but while it lasts it’s a fun ride.
