The prospect of yet another new Rocket Raccoon solo comic may not seem very exciting at this point. How many times has his solo series been relaunched and re-branded at this point? Is there even a need for solo Guardians comics now that the main series has switched to a twice-monthly schedule? Despite these concerns, a strong creative team immediately ensures that this latest Rocket Raccoon comic is one well worth adding to your pull list.
Writer Al Ewing never fails to put a clever spin on whatever corner of the Marvel Universe he happens to be visiting. In this case, he basically thrusts Rocket into an old-fashioned detective noir, complete with melodramatic narration and a dame who broke Rocket's heart. It's a bizarre juxtaposition of elements that works surprisingly well considering Ewing is basically telling a tragic love story between a raccoon and a sea otter. Much of the book isn't actually very humorous in an overt way. Ewing plays its 100% straight in the first half, which allows readers to really connect with Rocket and his tragic background in a way that doesn't happen enough. Right out of the gate, Ewing adds plenty of insight into Rocket's personality and what compelled him to join the Guardians in the first place.
