Thus, Marvel is only giving the people what they want in November, which is all the Rocket Raccoon and Groot they can handle. Twenty, count them, 20 variant covers in all are coming in two months, spread across a wide range of Marvel comics.
“People everywhere can’t seem to get enough Rocket & Groot!” Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel said in a statement. “As soon as we came up with the concept to do Rocket Raccoon & Groot variants, the ideas just started pouring in. We couldn’t wait to get our hands dirty creating some really fantastic cover homages. This program is really the best of both worlds and we know it will really excite old and new fans everywhere.”
