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

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!

Keith Giffen has passed away

Another one of comics’ greats has passed away. Keith Giffen unfortunately is the latest of the legends to no longer be with his. Giffen died on Monday at the age of 70 and was confirmed today, new comic book day. He’s known working on a host of titles and is the co-creator of Lobo and Rocket Raccoon. The post below was on his Facebook profile today, announcing the news in a way that was him.

Giffen was born in Queens, New York in 1952. His first published work was in Marvel Preview #4 in 1976 with writer Bill Mantlo. Giffen and Mantlo would go on to create Rocket Raccoon who debuted in Marvel Preview #7.

He’d go on to work not just for Marvel, but Dark Horse, Image, First Comics, WildStorm, and Valiant.

His bibliography as a writer, plotter, and artist is wrong with titles such as Annihilation and it’s sequels and prologues, 52, Ambush Bug, Blue Beetle, DC vs. Masters of the Universe, Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn and its sequel, Justice League 3000, Legion of Super-Heroes, Lobo, Omega Men, The Defenders, Nick Fury’s Howling Commandos, Bloodstrike, Freak Force, SuperPatriot, Magnus, Robot Fighter, X-O Manowar, and so much more.

He’s also credited with screenwriting The Real Ghostbusters, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.

He was awarded an Inkpot Award in 1991.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

Blue Beetle gets a teaser poster

The highly anticipated film Blue Beetle finally is getting a teaser poster. Based on the DC character, the movie is pretty key not only because it elevates a relatively unknown character but also focuses on the Jaime Reyes version played by Xolo Maridueña.

Blue Beetle is about a teenage Hispanic El Pasoan, who gains superpowers when an alien Blue Beetle scarab grafts onto him, forming a powerful exoskeleton around his body.

Leaked photos have shown a very accurate superhero costume creating even more anticipation to get a look at the film. The Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle debuted as Jaime in Infinite Crisis #3 and as Blue Beetle in Infinite Crisis #5 in 2006. The character was created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner.

Blue Beetle comes to theaters August 18, 2023.

When a loophole in the legal system requires Coven to be set free, he comes to the attention of Captain Marvel, who’s intrigued by the mysterious figure not only because of his apparent resurrection and immunity to Genis’ Cosmic Awareness, but by the peculiarities of the judicial system that let the killer go free. Rather than annihilate Coven, he suggests that they become the law: Coven to be prosecution, and Marvel to be judge.

Seems like old times…or does it? In the days following the Invasion, the Tasmanian Devil pulverizes a certain cosmic starfish from space (and gets pulverized in return!), while the Peacemaker streaks across Russian skies to battle the Rocket Reds! And when you see the alien monsters descend on Dangerfield, Arizona, it’ll be more like ‘screams like old times!’

Blue Beetle Coming to the Big Screen with Director Angel Manuel Soto

Blue Beetle

Rumored for a while, a Blue Beetle film is getting some movement. Angel Manuel Soto has been tapped by Warner Bros. to helm the DC Comics film. Soto was behind the 2020 Sundance drama Charm City Kings. Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer wrote the script for the film.

Blue Beetle will be the first DC film to center around a Latino hero. The movie will be based around the current individual who holds the mantle, Jaime Reyes. Reyes gains superhero abilities courtesy of alien armor. The character debuted in 2006 and was created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner. He first appeared as Reyes in Infinite Crisis #3 and as Blue Beetle in Infinite Crisis #5.

The character has been depicted in other media beyond comics. He appeared in the tenth season of Smallville and the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold as well as Young Justice: Invasion, DC Super Hero Girls, and Justice League Action. The character also has appeared in animated films such as Justice League vs. Teen Titans, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.
