Groot #1 (2015) kicks off with the big guy dreaming of Earth and teaching Rocket the art of hitchhiking—no small feat when you're a walking tree and your ride is a spaceship full of Skrulls. As they evade alien pursuers and steal a desperate escape from a scientist racing against time to save his son, Rocket gets captured by a bounty hunter, forcing Groot to step up in a way he’s never tried before. Written by Jeff Loveness and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Brian Kesinger, the issue’s vibrant colors and tight storytelling make every panel count—especially the cover by Declan Shalvey, which captures the moment Groot’s eyes light up with determination.
