Amazing comic and great condition

"Tricks of the Trade" follows the (mis)adventures of Rocket Raccoon, bounty hunter extroidonaire and his muscle-for-hire tree, Groot. From the first page to the last, we've got humor, action and a healthy dose of satire. Space vikings, uber-dopplegangers, an RPG session and many other instances that capture the zany that is this duo.The contributing artwork is from several artists and bring a fresh look to each layout. The plot and stories move at a pretty good pace, same with the writing. You don't need to be a fan or necessarily familiar with Rocket and Groot (or the Guardians of the Galaxy).Want a rollicking read that just happens to involve a raccoon and a tree? Go for it. "Tricks of the Trade" is recommended.Recommend reading to the Guardians of the Galaxy fan, casual fan (such as myself, I prefer Rocket), or someone looking for something different to try.

Great read

Stories #1-3:****Groot must confront the crazy tyrant Lord Rakzoon to be reunited with his friend Rocket after a traumatic event.There's a tricksy element to this that I liked. Continues from the last Rocket & Groot collection I read, so I liked that too.Story #4: "The 'Hills of Thoron'"*****Rocket and Tony Stark have a difference of opinion when playing a role-playing game. Tony challenges Rocket to a game of Fantasy Football on another planet, where the rules are a bit more extreme than usual. But if Rocket and Groot win, Tony agrees to play the role-playing game by all Rocket's rules next time.Oh, so funny. Rocket and Tony are perfect to butt heads over silly stuff. And that's one epic game of fantasy football.Story #4:****Rocket and Groot get into a teensy bit of trouble for something they took for someone else. Groot is mistaken for the local god, but being a god can be dangerous.These two always have such interesting adventures.Story #5:*****Rocket and Groot are having a one-uping contest that starts with pool and eventually goes on to a battlefield where their competition singlehandedly solves a thousand years plus war.This was my favorite story in the bunch. It made me laugh out loud multiple times. One epic competition that's hilarious.Notes on content: No language issues (always replaced with symbols). No sexual content. Killing is mentioned but most injuries on page don't look very severe.

My son loves the book

Young has lost some of the spark that made his previous Rocket Raccoon series so grand. The first 3 issues get really dark but it pays off in the third issue. The last 3 issues are all one note jokes with inferior, super busy artwork. The fantasy football issue made my eyes bleed and the viking issue wasn't much better.

Ordered by mistake.

My boyfriends loves it. He says it's really funny to read and worth the buy. The illustrations are wonderful.
