Okay, like a lot of people, I never heard of Groot before the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie and I was only slightly aware of Rocket Raccoon. Good thing I only paid five bucks for it. Groot's first appearance isn't all that bad. It's an eight page Lee and Kirby tale from pre-superhero days of Tales to Astonish. The Groot in this story is evil and can talk normally. It turns out he's from the same species as our Groot but isn't related. It's pretty much a monster story. Rocket's first appearance Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection a black and white story in an issue of Marvel Preview. He was called Rocky and the only interesting thing from the story is that the prince in it is Prince Wayfinder, who is part of Micronauts lore from Bill Mantlo's run. Rocket's second appearance is a lot better. The Hulk finds himself on Half World, a world populated by half animals. Rocket is more like the Rocket we know and love in this appearance. Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection material from the Rocket Raccoon miniseries features art from Mike Mignola and writing from Bill Mantlo so I had high Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection for it. It was a damn mess. Too many puns, too much cheesiness. It was a long four issues for me. The Annhilators issues made the book worth what I paid for it. Rocket is working a regular job after the death of Quill and gets pulled back into adventuring when someone sends a killer clown to kill him. It also makes the Half World stuff in Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection miniseries easier to take in retrospect. Rocket and Groot also tangle with Mojo in another fun adventure. Two out of five stars. View all 3 comments. Jul 12, Malum rated it it was ok Shelves: marvelgraphic-novelsguardians-of-the-galaxy. A mixed bag of comics. The older issues are Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection dated and, while fun, the Earthfall story was pointless. The real gem here is the four part series from Annihilators. You get a retelling of Rocket and Groot's origins, plus it's a pretty fun story to boot. The original Rocket mini-series is great, full of wonderful references. But the other stories are, quite frankly, a bit boring. Feb 16, Brandt rated it it was ok Shelves: comic-books. Sometimes you can't go home again. The first comic books I ever bought were at a convenience store across the street from my house. They had one of those periodical turnstyles by the cash registers next to the magazine rack and it was full of comics. From those earliest purchases, two comics stand out--an issue of Marvel Tales which was a reprint of Amazing Spider-Man 19 that's the first issue with the Scorpion and Rocket Raccoon 1. It came out in the summer ofwhen I was just about to Sometimes you can't go home again. It came out in the summer ofwhen I was just about to turn ten, and I didn't have a concept of comics being a reprint, or an ongoing series or a limited series--I just knew there was a walking Raccoon on the front cover with a laser gun shooting the shit out of monkeys and clowns. What ten year old wouldn't love that? Cut towhen Marvel releases The Guardians of the Galaxy film. By this point Marvel was printing money at the box office, so they decided to make a comic based on Abnett and Lanning's comic book. When I saw the first promotional poster for the film, not having read comics in a very long time this was around the time I got a library card and started reading every trade paperback that struck my fancy and there he was-- Rocket Raccoon. Ten year old me went crazy inside almost forty year old me. Rocket was going to be in a movie. A walking raccoon. The one that got me into comics thirty years before. The one I have a pin of hanging outside my cube at work. Rocket Raccoon. Recently, I have been on a Guardians of the Galaxy kick, and so I have been reading all of the trades, and it hasn't really been as great as seeing that first movie was for me. But, as I had been reading all of plethora of Guardians related books out there, I was wondering if Marvel had got around to releasing a trade paperback of that original Rocket Raccoon series from my childhood. Does a raccoon eat out of a trash can and then go shit in the woods? Of course Marvel had released a trade paperback of it! Groot's first appearance kicks off the first volume, with a bog-standard "killer walking tree" comic from a pre- Fantastic Four era Tales to Astonish that fits more with my recent plunge into reading Warren horror magazines rather than a "superhero" book. Rocket's first appearance is even more ignominious, as he is part of a story arc in Marvel Preview that is advertised as continuing if you, the reader, demanded it! Obviously no one did, because the next story is an issue of The Incredible Hulkwhich, while a throwaway for The Hulk himself, sets up the plot line for the Rocket Raccoon series that wouldn't be published for another five years. Then we get to the mini-series itself. At this point, we need to take a quick aside into Rocket's origins But in that issue of the Hulk, all of the elements of the song were there--Rock et y Raccoon, Gideon's Bible, you have it. And for a Hulk filler story, I guess that is fine. But then Marvel green lighted the Rocket Raccoon & Groot - The Complete Collection staring just Rocket and Bill Mantlo decided to double down on Gideon's Bible stuff. All I know is that when I re-read the mini series thirty plus years after I had first read it, I found myself wondering what acid Mantlo was dropping when he wrote the series.

  • Katalog Zur Ausstellung "60 Jahre Marvel
    Liebe Kulturfreund*innen, bereits seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs befasst sich das Amerikahaus München mit US- amerikanischer Kultur. Als US-amerikanische Behörde war es zunächst für seine Bibliothek und seinen Lesesaal bekannt. Doch schon bald wurde das Programm des Amerikahauses durch Konzerte, Filmvorführungen und Vorträge ergänzt. Im Jahr 1957 zog das Amerika- haus in sein heutiges charakteristisches Gebäude ein und ist dort, nach einer vierjährigen Generalsanierung, seit letztem Jahr wieder zu finden. 2014 gründete sich die Stiftung Bay- erisches Amerikahaus, deren Träger der Freistaat Bayern ist. Heute bietet das Amerikahaus der Münchner Gesellschaft und über die Stadt- und Landesgrenzen hinaus ein vielfältiges Programm zu Themen rund um die transatlantischen Beziehungen – die Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada und Lateinamerika- und dem Schwerpunkt Demokratie an. Unsere einladenden Aus- stellungräume geben uns die Möglichkeit, Werke herausragender Künstler*innen zu zeigen. Mit dem Comicfestival München verbindet das Amerikahaus eine langjährige Partnerschaft. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir mit der Ausstellung „60 Jahre Marvel Comics Universe“ bereits die fünfte Ausstellung im Rahmen des Comicfestivals bei uns im Haus zeigen können. In der Vergangenheit haben wir mit unseren Ausstellungen einzelne Comickünstler, wie Tom Bunk, Robert Crumb oder Denis Kitchen gewürdigt. Vor zwei Jahren freute sich unser Publikum über die Ausstellung „80 Jahre Batman“. Dieses Jahr schließen wir mit einem weiteren Jubiläum an und feiern das 60-jährige Bestehen des Marvel-Verlags. Im Mainstream sind die Marvel- Helden durch die in den letzten Jahren immer beliebter gewordenen Blockbuster bekannt geworden, doch Spider-Man & Co. gab es schon lange davor. Das Comic-Heft „Fantastic Four #1“ gab vor 60 Jahren den Startschuss des legendären Marvel-Universums.

  • JM. Dematteis
    BIBLIOGRAFIA ITALIANA DI J. M. DeMATTEIS A cura di: Gabriele ʿTermidoroʾ Perlini - mail: [email protected] Prima stesura: ottobre 2009 - Secondo aggiornamento: gennaio 2021 Ritenuto uno dei più grandi scrittori di Spider-Man, secondo solo a Stan Lee, il nome di J. M. DeMATTEIS è legato indissolubilmente alle gestioni ragnesche degli anni ʿ90 grazie ai cicli di storie in coppia con Sal Buscema e Mark Bagley, cui si annoverano i capolavori "The Child Within ", "Best Of Enemies " e "The Gift ". Scrivendo di un Peter Parker più adulto e massiccio come mai sino ad allora, l'autore si era aggiudicato qualche anno prima il successo grazie alla tragica saga "Kraven's Last Hunt " mentre, poco dopo, sarà la volta della miniserie "The Lost Years ". Sul fronte editoriale opposto si trovano lavori più divertenti ed ironici quali la Justice League International, scritta nella seconda metà degli anni ʿ80 insieme al fidato Keith Giffen, che ha valso alla coppia la nomination per l'Eisner Award come miglior albo singolo grazie al primo numero della loro gestione. Sempre per le più note case editrici americane di fumetti si ricordano gli indelebili cicli di Captain America e The Defenders per la Marvel ed i personaggi mistici della DC quali The Spectre, Dr. Fate, The Phantom Stranger e la Justice League Dark. Brevi incursioni si sono comunque avute anche in personaggi più classici come Batman e Superman. Per le case editrici minori citiamo la sfortunata Abadazad, The Stardust Kid, Hero Squared e The Life And Times Of Savior 28. Difficile poi dimenticare i progetti più personali dell'autore come l'evocativo Moonshadow, Blood: A Tale, Mercy, Seekers Into The Mystery e l'autobiografico Brooklyn Dreams.
