I was thinking about writing the entire article in fluent Groot, but then I realized, it would have just been a bunch of ‘I Am Groot’ repeated over and over.
Groot, the lovable tree-like alien from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, is set to star in his own solo series from Marvel Comics. Written by Dan Abnett and illustrated by Damian Couceiro, the series will explore the character’s origin story and delve deeper into his backstory.
Fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy films will remember Groot as the loyal and sometimes comical companion of Star-Lord and the rest of the team. However, in the comics, Groot has a much more complex history. He is a member of the alien race known as the Flora Colossus, and has the ability to manipulate and control plant life.
The upcoming solo series will take readers back to Groot’s early days and reveal how he became the hero we know and love. It will also introduce new characters and explore the Flora Colossus’ culture and society.
Dan Abnett, who has previously written for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Annihilation series, is no stranger to the character and is excited to delve deeper into Groot’s world. “Groot has always been one of my favorite characters, so it’s a huge honor to be able to tell his origin story,” said Abnett. “I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store for them.”
Artist Damian Couceiro‘s work on the series promises to be equally stunning, with dynamic and expressive illustrations that will bring Groot and his world to life.
The Groot solo series is a must-read for fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy and for anyone who loves a good origin story. With Abnett and Couceiro at the helm, readers can expect a fresh and exciting take on the beloved character. The series is set to release later this year, and it will be interesting to see how the readers responds to this new take on the character.
