There's a new criminal mastermind in the galaxy, and it's...Rocket Raccoon?! How did this happen? Groot knows, but he's not talking! Well, he is talking, but all he's saying is... Oh, you know.

And when Captain Marvel enlists her Guardians of the Galaxy pals to fight in CIVIL WAR II, surely it won't divide these BFFs. After all, they are Groot, right? All that, plus the unbelievable Gwenpool!
