Rocket Raccoon and Ch'p

Although some illustrators chose to depict Green Lantern Ch'p in a cartoony manner, I preferred  it when artists like Don Newton would draw him more realistically.  There's something I like about the smaller members of the Lantern Corps. I guess it's the juxtaposition between their tiny appearance and the incredible power that they wield.

The Legion of Super-Pets and Rocket Raccoon

Back in 1978, audiences were promised, "You will believe a man can fly", and with the release of Superman: The Movie they saw that promise fulfilled. Now over three decades later, the new promise is, "You will believe a raccoon can operate a machine gun!"  Guardians of the Galaxy looks to be a lot of fun, and I hope that audiences respond to it, so that some more of comics' far-out concepts will be considered for film adaptations.

Legion of Super-Heroes and Guardians of the Galaxy

The first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy has been released, and while it doesn't reveal much in the way of plot, it looks like a lot of fun.  I really liked the designs of all the characters, Nebula looked especially cool in the quick cuts that were shown of her.  Of course, what I was really curious about was how Rocket Raccoon and Groot would be handled, and I was not disappointed.  What a blast to see Rocket scurrying around Groot's back, firing a machine gun!  The humor seems front and center here, hopefully the film will have it's share of action as well.  I thought that too much wacky humor was a detriment to the latest Iron Man and Thor films, but it looks like it might just work with this movie.
