Description

Here is a key interior page from Annihilation: Conquest � Starlord Issue #1, released July 25, 2007. This is the second of two pages that depict the historic first meeting between Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon, a major moment in Marvel cosmic history.

This page also marks the first narrative connection between Rocket Raccoon and Groot, as Groot is referenced here for the first time in Rocket�s presence. Though they do not yet interact directly, this moment begins the pairing that would become one of Marvel�s most iconic cosmic duos.

Rocket appears in a Kree prison, where Peter Quill is tasked with assembling a strike team to liberate Hala from the Phalanx. Rocket and the others are considered expendable, making them ideal for the mission. The team includes Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Star-Lord, Mantis, Bug, Deathcry, and Captain Universe. This lineup forms the foundation of the modern Guardians of the Galaxy before their official debut in Annihilation Conquest Issue #6.

Isn't that the importance of it all. It is now the modern mythology. I love telling the stories to my kiddos and talking about them with others. Thanks Rubén.

Now somewhere in the black fountain inks Olazaba
There lived a young boy named Rocket Raccoon
And one page Kieth Giffen wrote up with a wooden guy
Hit young Timothy Green lines

Rocky didn't like that
Kree said, "Annihilate that boy"
So one day he walked infraction
Booked himself a room in the local prison

Rocket Raccoon, checked in with his Groot
Only to find Starlord's title
Rocket had come equipped with a gun
To pull off Guardians assemble

And the fact that this song inspired the character makes it all the more awesome. The best part is that he comes equiped with a gun and he is also known as Rocky in some titles. Love it and thanks Marcus. Perfect song for a perfect Raccoon.

There are a few more pages that help show their progression coming, but this was a great start from a modern aspect.
