Rocket Raccoon and Groot #8

David López's cover for this Civil War II tie-in sets a wonderfully chaotic tone: a darkly menacing, purple-hued Groot looms at the center clutching red roses while Rocket Raccoon and a heavily armed purple-skinned figure flank him on either side, guns drawn and teeth bared against a fiery orange backdrop. The juxtaposition of delicate flowers against all that heavy artillery gives the scene a genuinely funny edge that suits Rocket and Groot perfectly. With Nick Kocher writing and Michael Walsh on art, this opener to "The Bad Southern Pun Trilogy" promises the kind of irreverent, action-packed fun that makes this duo such an entertaining corner of the Marvel Universe.
