But Why Tho? - Quinn
Nov 04, 2020If youre a fan of Rocket, youll get a kick out of this issue as he logics his way through a murder mystery. His flippant attitude is front and center but the rest of the cast of characters are wonderfully represented through the dialogue and art. Read Full Review

I absolutely love the cover art so much. I mean come on, that's like Rocket Racoon meets Han Solo. This comic series is absolutely brilliant! I love everything that this comic has to offer. I would have preferred a little more mystery for Rocket's detective arc but nonetheless this comic captivates me with its humor, it's thrilling story and its beautiful artwork!

Now I see why some people disliked the MCU interpretation. I enjoyed those movies, but I am finding the comic versions of GotG so much more complex. The GotG stories are much more than a "superhero" title. Al Ewing continues a great run on these characters. Now that Empyre is complete, I look forward to where he takes our heroes. This issue is quick, but no less well written and drawn. The dynamics between the teams and the other players in the universe carries the perfect amount of drama and intrigue. This book continues to have stellar artwork. Finally, Al Ewing writes a great Rocket! Tell your LCS to add this book to your pull list. Wont be disappointed.

Drunk Rocket playing detective lends a comedic air to a story that takes a decided turn for the grim. He solves the case and prevents (some) war, but the shadow of Knull looms by the end. Solid art, terrific writing, and a rare star turn for a Chitauri make this payoff every bit as satisfying as the setup in the previous issue.

I really like Rocket and wanted to give this a higher review. I like a good murder mystery but this just wasn't. A good murder mystery or detective story will allow the reader to put the answers together if they are paying attention. It should take multiple issues. So for just a 2 issue story, and one that the reader see's that Marvel Boy is innocent right away, it just didn't work out as a mystery for me. The real killer was never something that could be worked out outside the narrative either. Go read an older Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie story to see how these stories do it right. Maybe it was into a Knull crossover and had to wrap it up early... Also disappointed the series is crossing into the Knull stuff. I was planning on sitti more
