Good news, Guardians of the Galaxy fans, Marvel Comics has confirmed that Rocket Raccoon is back for a new adventure.
Per an official press release from Marvel Comics, the publisher confirmed exactly when fans can get their hands on Rocket’s anniversary special. « Big things come in small, furry packages… and this July, Rocket Raccoon sets out to prove it with a 50th anniversary one-shot: ROCKET RACCON: ROCKET REWIND! »
Marvel Comics teases what readers can expect when the much-loved mammal returns to the pages through his very own one-shot. « Buckle up and travel the stars as Rocket engages in over-the-top action and calamity across three all-new stories from a roster of titanic creators, including writers J.M. DeMatteis, Christos Gage, and MacKenzie Cadenhead and artists Shawn McManus, Todd Nauck, and Enid Balám, plus a re-presentation of Rocket’s debut tale from co-creators Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen, » the publishing giant said.
ROCKET RACCON: ROCKET REWIND #1 features a collection of stories starring the furry fiend. Marvel Comics has offered a few summaries for those who are curious enough to get a hint at what each may entail.
Rocket Raccoon encounters a mysterious galactic book collector before coming face-to-face with the one-and-only Rocky Raccoon (wait, what?!) in a brain-bending tale from writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Shawn McManus.
In “BoomShakaLaka,” MacKenzie Cadenhead and Enid Balám take Rocket to a paradise planet full of good vibes and an immensely powerful artifact that’s just begging to be stolen by a cybernetically enhanced creature with a bad attitude. Know anybody like that?
Christos Gage and Todd Nauck set out to prove that size does matter in “The Fight in the Raccoon,” featuring an odd-couple team-up of Hank Pym and Rocket as they fight back a massive invasion force in Sub-Atomica!
Plus, the original debut of Rocket by Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen!
“Fans of Rocket Raccoon are going to love this special featuring all-new stories that span through his bold, adventurous, and sassy career,” Editor Mark Pannicia explained about the one-shot. “I’m excited to include the first appearance of Rocky Raccoon. That’s right, old bean, in that story by legendary comic creators Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen, Rocket went by Rocky and inexplicably had a British accent. Wild and fun stuff!”
Marvel Comics also added, « originally introduced in the pages of Marvel Preview #7 by Mantlo and Giffen, Rocket has blasted and jetpacked his way into becoming an integral part of the Marvel cosmic tapestry and a key figure (as well as the heart and soul) of numerous Guardians of the Galaxy team line-ups. »
ROCKET RACCON: ROCKET REWIND #1 will go on sale starting on July 29.
