Groot
Groot #1
For the first time ever, the most famous talking-tree-thing in the Marvel Universe is starring in his own series! You might recognize him from Guardians of the Galaxy, the biggest movie of 2014. When Rocket and Groot are on an intergalactic road-trip and calamity strikes, the two get separated, and for the first time in years, Groot's on his own! Whatever may be coming Groot's way, one thing's for sure- it's going to be a Groot adventure!

I think that they did quite a good job in this one. The art is appealing, but more importantly, very well-done in terms of expressions and body language for both Groot and Rocket without putting it ridiculously over the top. If the creators can keep this up, I'll keep coming back for more, because it'll be one of those series in my "funny comics that make me smile" category. This one reminds me, in a good way, and probably not coincidentally considering that the artist is a Disney animator, of fun TV cartoon-watching.
Admittedly, I did have to expend some effort since the only thing that Groot says is, "I am Groot," so I'd often go back after reading Rocket's dialog or examining the panels and imagine Groot's tone and pitch.

No.the journey is not more important than the destination.Especially when the destination sucks.Then the journey sucks.Everything sucks.
Why do you want to go to Earth in the first place?It's a dump.

I saw the Guardians of the Galaxy first time in 2015 and because the story wasn't that clear for me, I didn't like the movie much. But then this year, I saw the trailer for the second movie with baby Groot in it and I remembered all the characters and decided to give the first vol. one more chance. And boy! Oh boy! I fell in love with it immediately after getting what's going on. I loved everything and everyone in it, specially Rocket and Groot. I adore their friendship. When I finished watching both of them, I wanted to know/read more about these two.
Groot is awesome. He is so gentle and sweet. I love plants, so his tree-like appearance really fascinates me. I also find him interesting in the way he evolves. He didn't just not die, but also grows in reverse. He goes from being adult to a baby with childish behavior. His style is this comic is fantastic. I can't say the same for Rocket cause for some reason he seems a bit old but the story is entertaining which I'm enjoying a lot.

This book made me smile, for its quirks and humor and references. It's a road trip and it's going to be groooooooot.

I cannot get enough of the interaction between Rocket and Groot. They just make me smile So. Damn. Much.

I am Impressed. (See what I did there?)

Groot and Raccoon go on a roadtrip. One disaster follows another as the two have their "car" break down, get attacked by space sharks, and get attacked by bounty hunters.
Interesting beginning. I might have been slightly too old to read this comic. Or it's geared more for younger readers, or . . . something. Still, I'll probably pick up the second issue.

Uncontrollable laughs all around.
It doesn't get better than Rocket talking and Groot repeating "I am Groot".

Rocket und Groot - das beste und witzigste Duo aktuell im Marvel Universum.

So cute!!!

Space sharks, blue chickens with three eyes, alien pirates, and gorgeous art? This was perfect.

Groot and Rocket are everything that I want in comic book best friends. Love those two together!

This is my second comics.I liked it.
June 7, 2015
I loved this. I can't wait for the second issue to see how Groot and Rocket get out of this mess.

I bought this single issue as an experiment -- I want to see if a sidekick that only says one line in a film could be a compelling lead in his own comic book. It also helped that Newbury Comics had a rad variant cover, exclusive to their store (not pictured) that was part of a sale.
The answer: yes. Combined with the motor-mouth Rocket Raccoon, Groot is the straight man in a funny issue about hitchin' a ride(s).
Recommended for readers who are looking for a lighter, more humorous alternative to heavy superhero comics.
Groot may be made of wood, but the clever writing keeps his character from being too stiff.

“I am Groot!” I love the pairing of Rocket and Groot. They are perfect foils for each other! The story really captures Groot’s gentle nature and his resolve to protect those he loves. It was fun seeing the rag tag group of aliens, gods, and robots he collected to save Rocket from the clutches of the space pirate. The final story on Earth with Hannah was very sweet. Great book overall!

I’m not a huge comic book dude (I usually find graphic novels/comics too overwhelming).
However, I think that my love of the Guardians films helped me appreciate the connections in this comic making it easy to read. I really liked the illustrations! Groot is funny and cute. I look forward to reading the others in this series.

Read this one with Aug-man. Loved this “origins” story and know Marvel fans will appreciate this. Definitely recommend for independent readers 3rd and up. Rocket’s use of “language” may turn some readers off, but we found it “Flarkin’” hilarious!

Fun, but without the intonation that an audiovisual support can give, the main character lacks a bit of depth. I got lost a little bit in the where and how in this story. I liked the drawings though!

Enjoyable, art's awesome. I was giggling all the time.

Groot decides to visit Earth and Rocket tags along.
This was cute and I enjoyed it as I read it, but I don't feel any urge to get the next book in the series. I think I'll stick to Groot onscreen.

Who doesn’t like Groot? Funny story with a nice message. Really well written.

A truly wholesome comic book that pulls at your heartstrings, especially if you want to see Rocket Raccoon and Groot's beginning of their friendship.

Groot really wants to visit Earth and after some unfortunate events Rocket agrees to go with him.
I have to be in the mood for Rocket and Groot. If I'm not I find them annoying especially when they do these solo jaunts. This issue wasn't particularly great as they are going on an intergalactic road trip. They even steal a space ship from a baby just like Superman.
Anyway, this is OK if you find their general I Am Groot banter. My favorite line in this issue has to be this though.
Groot #1 is far from memorable and I don't know if I'll bother reading another issue.
