COMICON - Scott Redmond
Jul 27, 2023One of the loneliest, yet heroic members of the 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' takes the spotlight in another fantastically told sort of one-off solo chapter of this limited series saga. Every bit of the necessary mood is captured and delivered through the various levels of the artwork. Questions are answered and posed in both the easiest and the most emotional of ways.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 25, 2023The series continues to gradually coalesce as the team is gradually drawn together. Its fun to watch Lanzing and Kelly revealing aspects of events that scattered the team. Theres a sense of anticipation and build-up to the big climactic resolution, but it feels like its running the risk of totally falling apart by the time the story reaches its final issue.

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Jul 19, 2023Guardians of the Galaxy #4 is effectively one long scene that shows you what Rocket's been up to for the last three issues. There are some strong emotional beats when Rocket feels Groot's loss, but you don't learn much about Grootfall or make any progress on the plot. Read Full Review

This book is supremely underrated, and I don't know why. Its super consistent, yet versatile, and great. As this sites resident Rocket Raccoon stan I eagerly awaited his arrival, and it did not dissappoint. Him sherriffing a lost colony of stragglers is exactly what he'd do in this situation, and yet beneath the surface you can see the veneer of sadness that always follows. This entire run has had a foreboding dread to it, and that we've seen so many die to an unexplained plague sets this apart thematically and visually from all prior Guardians runs. Its great stuff. Please give this book a go. Its great.

Best issue so far, amazing art, and by god this makes me feel so bad for Rocket. Lanzing does a great job in showing how much Rocket loves Groot and the horrible position he's been in protecting this planet of refugees. I can't wait for the next issue and to hopefully see everything out in the open.

This was the best issue of this series yet. We only focus on Rocket throughout this, but that was definitely the right call, in my opinion. The first three issues of this have been about the rest of the team dealing with Grootfall on different worlds, and I think having a whole issue dedicated to Rocket dealing with it was a great idea. The execution is what makes it, however, as Kelly & Lanzing are able to take a fairly simple story at its core and write it well enough to make it resonate with the reader. You truly feel Rocket's pain and grief as he's tasked with protecting others from something that was once one of his closest friends, if not his absolute closest friend. This series continues to get better and better, and I'm very much lo more

Telling a simple story well is not as easy as it looks. The creators give a masterclass in the power of simplicity here. The terse script trusts the art to carry the story's emotion and tragedy, and it's more than capable of doing the job. The issues go fast, but the series is slow. That makes it a frustrating month-to-month read, but the creators have earned my confidence. I'm always eager to see what comes next.
