La première couverture signée Mike Mayhew montre le Gardien de la Galaxie en compagnie de membres des Technets, ces chasseurs de primes interdimensionnels créés dans les années 80 par Chris Claremont et Alan Davis pour la série Excalibur.
[quote]When [Editor] Jordan [D. White] approached me about doing the book, I’d been rereading a lot of Richard Stark’s Parker novels, and thinking how long it’d been since I’d had a crack at a noir crime story in a sci-fi locale. And then I read up on raccoons and found out they have very good hearing and a particularly good sense of touch… and suddenly I had an idea of Rocket as a natural safecracker, and the whole thing span out from there.
What it’s turned into is a kind of unique mix of hard-boiled crime and sci-fi madness with a fair amount of deadpan humor, which I think people will get on board with right from the off.[/quote]

Description: It’s a dirty universe out there, even when you’re not regularly mistaken for trash-foraging vermin. And it’s about to get dirtier. He thought his paws were clean, that he was on the up-and-up. But then an old flame swam back into his life, and he was back in the game… the heist game. If you need a safe cracked, a vault busted or a score taken…ask for Rocket. Just don’t call him a raccoon.
Description: It’s the Technet versus the Technet - and only the Technet will survive! Also in this issue – Rocket in court! It’s the trial of the (light) century, and there’s only one thing keeping our hero out of the iron hotel…the galaxy’s greatest lawyer, Murd Blurdock!
Description: Rocket in the hoosegow! He’s doing bird in the toughest stir in the sector – the brutal space prison they call…the Colon! It’s a living hell with no exits and a tailor-made punishment for every inmate – and if Rocket can’t break out in one night… he’ll get broken out? Wait, what? How does that work?
Description: On the lam and in the gutter, Rocket needs cash - lots of it, and yesterday. That means tommy guns at dawn - as Rocket steals from an interplanetary mobster who makes the Kingpin look like Aunt May! Guest-starring Deadpool, the sad clown of space!
Description: Castor Gnawbarque III is the richest sentient in three sectors and CEO of the Beavertron Corporation. Rocket is neither of these things. By the end of this issue, one of them will be holding 10 billion credits and one will have a bullet in the head. It’s the same one.
Description: Ranger Rocket - the sheriff of Halfworld, a heroic righter of wrongs in a land of toys and talking animals – or an out-of-luck safecracker dying with a slug in his brainpan and a last memory of the good times? Get ready for the last tragic twist of the Blue River score.
