All the pieces are in place. Rook and Madeline have planned every move to rob the Koh Kingfisher resort of all its art. Unfortunately, they didn’t plan for the ghosts of their pasts to reach them all the way out on the island. When faced with a choice, will this steamy couple choose love, freedom, or riches? Or will they go for broke and try to get all three?

Rocket Raccoon Celebrates 50 Years in July with Rocket Raccoon: Rocket Rewind

Posted on by Leave a comment

Big things come in small, furry packages… and this July, Rocket Raccoon sets out to prove it with a 50th anniversary one-shot: Rocket Raccoon: Rocket Rewind!

Buckle up and travel the stars as Rocket engages in over-the-top action and calamity across three all-new stories from a roster of titanic creators including writers J.M. DeMatteis, Christos Gage, and MacKenzie Cadenhead and artists Shawn McManus, Todd Nauck, and Enid Balám, plus a re-presentation of Rocket’s debut tale from co-creators Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen.

Originally introduced in the pages of Marvel Preview #7 by Mantlo and Giffen, Rocket has blasted and jetpacked his way into becoming an integral part of the Marvel cosmic tapestry and a key figure (as well as the heart and soul) of numerous Guardians of the Galaxy team line-ups.

Follow the heavily armed rapscallion as he blazes new trails in locations both new and familiar across the following stories:

  • Rocket Raccoon encounters a mysterious galactic book collector before coming face-to-face with the one-and-only Rocky Raccoon (wait, what?!) in a brain-bending tale from writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Shawn McManus.
  • In “BoomShakaLaka,” MacKenzie Cadenhead and Enid Balám take Rocket to a paradise planet full of good vibes and an immensely powerful artifact that’s just begging to be stolen by a cybernetically enhanced creature with a bad attitude. Know anybody like that?
  • Christos Gage and Todd Nauck set out to prove that size does matter in “The Fight in the Raccoon,” featuring an odd-couple team up of Hank Pym and Rocket as they fight back a massive invasion force in Sub-Atomica!
  • Plus, the original debut of Rocket by Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen!

Check out the covers for Rocket Raccoon: Rocket Rewind #1, including the main image by Ryan Stegman and variants by David Baldeón and Mike Mignola, and place your pre-orders at your local comic shop!

Voyeur #3 continues to tease its sexy cool as Rook and Madeline continue to scheme and steal

Posted on by

You’ve met Rook. You also met Madeline. And they’ve met each other.

Now, the romantic games can really begin!

Madeline has immersed herself fully in Rook’s world. The art thief has infiltrated the luxurious Koh Kingfisher resort as a security guard, and he’s using his perch from the control room to spy on the guests via the closed-circuit cameras. When they leave their rooms, he enters on the sly, stealing the expensive paintings from the walls and replacing them with fakes. Madeline decides to speed up the process by luring the unsuspecting victims away herself to give Rook the access he needs. But can the crook handle the jealousy her scheme fuels within him?

Voyeur #2 is a hell of an issue delivering an introduction from another perspective

Posted on by

The tables are turning, as the observer becomes the observed!

Now that Madeline has figured out who is spying on her, and that the security guard Rook is not exactly who he tells everyone he is, her vacation has become a whole other experience entirely. What had been a trip of self-reflection and grieving is now a chance to explore herself even further. How far will she go with this man, both in the bedroom and outside of it? Rook’s scheme to rob the extravagant resort of all its art may just be the kind of adventure Madeline has been looking for!
