That Rocket Raccoon exploitation we told you about is well underway, but when the exploitation takes the form of a series written and drawn by Skottie Young, it's really really hard to complain. And note well: this is an ONGOING series, not a one-shot or mini. It's Young's first gig writing AND drawing for Marvel.
