I didn't think it was possible to love Groot more, but this book proved me wrong. Buy it and read it.

I really really enjoyed this comics series. The thing I think people need to learn about groot and rocket is that all their adventures are chase adventure-- and that isn't a bad thing.

If every comic journey was the same we'd get bored. The other theme is very much about family-- and finding family when you feel so alone, and you use that loneliness as a wall to protect yourself from the trauma of losing everyone you held dear.

This book was light hearted, but filled with so much emotions. We learn how rocket and groot met and I wish they would tell this story in a special presentation or a short on disney+. I'm not someone who believes there is an over saturation problem, I believe there is a people who outgrew the MCU and refuse to accept it problem, right now.

The art work was like eye candy, the story was engaging and made me tear up a little and also laugh -- at rocket of course.

Another interesting fact-- the writer of this comic is also the one who wrote Quantummania.

I have seen this book laying around in shops before, but I never picked it up. And what a mistake that was. I'm glad that I finally did buy this.

This is a collection of six comics telling the story of Groot and Rocket going on a vacation on earth, and they are taking the scenic route to get there.

the art is very nice, the story has a feel good edge and is very tongue in cheek.

I would recommend this for everybody who likes fun, lighthearted comics. Very good book.

Cute travelogue starring the ever repetitive Groot. But with great guest stars like Dawn and Toomie and Silver Surfer. And even Rocket isn't bad. And the New X-Men Jean Grey being awesome as only and giving Groot words that the reader can actually follow. No real plot to speak of, but a little back-story and just enough fun.

It was absolutely adorable. Getting to know more about Groot is really interesting. Also, have I already mentioned it was adorable?

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic!!

Stop everything you're reading. Pick up your phone or tablet. Get the Marvel Unlimited app! Buy a month's subscription. This comic alone will be worth the month's fee!!

The intergalactic, computer, and nerdy humor. The loveable, adorable nature of Groot - his love of everyone and his willingess to help anyone out. Rocket's trigger happy tendencies. It all works really well. Plus the art is phenomenal! Groot's expressions convey a lot of emotion. And there are times when there are images inside block letters of "I AM GROOT" to illustrate his thoughts and emotions.

It's a wonderful story, with lots of little hiccups in the intergalactic travels. In the end, it's a story about giving of yourself, being grateful, and be there for others.

Who would have thought that a comic book with Groot as the main character would have so many feels?? Great story, fantastic art, and some touching moments. <3
