This July, Marvel Comics is celebrating Rocket Raccoon’s 50th birthday in a special anthology one-shot. Featuring covers by Ryan Stegman, David Baldeon, and Mike Mignola, they’re going out in style!
Follow the heavily armed rapscallion as he blazes new trails in locations both new and familiar across the following stories:
- 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!
I’m a little surprised Al Ewing isn’t involved as he’s a huge fan and penned a great solo series for the character years ago.
