Welp, that was really fucking disappointing. I haven't read any other Rocket & Groot stuff (though I've been meaning to for ages) and this wasn't a very good start.
This volume has two seperate stories: Issues 1-3 are about Groot trying to find and rescue Rocket from a situation, and issues 4-6 are about them being kidnapped by space vikings(?). There are also almost-doppelgangers of them both, fantasy football, dnd, and so much more weird shit. I had some pretty big issues with both stories.
I quite enjoyed the storyline of issues 1-3 and Pocket & Shrub were weird, interesting characters. My problem here was the art style; it wasn't bad, it just didn't gel with me very well. However, in issues 4-6 I really enjoyed the art style and I liked how bonkers and colourful it looked. The story was what really let me down in these issues, especially because the storyline in issues 1-3 never feels resolved so it's very jarring.
I'm already not a big fan of when a six-issue volume doesn't have a single, complete story in it, and this comic did nothing to change that opinion.

I love the way Rocket describes fantasy football:
See, they pick guys from different real teams and put them on their fake team. Then they watch those guys on TV and then do a lot of arithmetic and call it fun.
And a great meta Fast & Furious joke.
Over all, a fun romp through the universe with Rocket & Groot.

Cute, light read. I do enjoy Rocket and Groot, and their weird adventures.

I wish Groot was in it more because at times it really felt like it was focusing on Rocket. But then again, I'm biased ;)
