There's a magic portal on Terminal that can return Groot to his native dimension, but the Administrator will throw every last robot on the planet between the little tree and his goal. Writer Christopher Hastings clutters the script up with "buddies" to provide exposition for our verbally-challenged hero - lazy. The Administrator phones in to exposit more and explain the whole core conflict - lazy. Even artist Flaviano gets in on the lazy action by blowing up some super-loose panels to splash-page or double-spread size and pretending they're impressive. None of this makes the issue terrible; it just makes me feel like an idiot for comparing this title to Bill Mantlo's original Rocket miniseries last month.
