Everyone knows that Groot and Rocket Raccoon have one of the best friendships the universe, but what happens when they get separated? That’s the focus of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” writer Jeff Loveness and Disney Animation artist Brian Kesinger’s GROOT series kicking off in June!

Loveness makes his Marvel Comics debut this Wednesday with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN SPECIAL #1 and has a connection with the Wallcrawler, but like a lot of people he came to know the Monarch of Planet X from last summer’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” film.

Groot will jump from teaming up with his pal Rocket to flying solo, no small feat for a man-thing of so few words.

As you might expect a being who only says “I am Groot,” gets into his fair share of trouble while trying to get from place to place.

The story might feature all kinds of aliens and actions, but at its heart.
