Rocket Raccoon #1

Skottie Young brings his unmistakable style to this 2015 Marvel NOW! collection, with the cover showing a scrappy, determined Rocket Raccoon leaping through an alien landscape, brandishing an oversized weapon and a barrel marked with a skull — every bit the pint-sized, heavily-armed troublemaker fans adore. Young handles writing, art, and inks himself, making this a remarkably unified creative vision from a single imaginative voice. "A Chasing Tale Part 1" promises exactly the kind of wild, kinetic adventure the cover telegraphs, and Newsarama's pull quote — "a near-perfect piece of cartoon fiction" — makes a compelling case for diving right in.
