I AM GROOT!

[hyperactivator]

Really!? Can I have your autograph ?

[grazzt]

Now Groot needs to team up with Senator Matter-Eater Lad.

[q99]

It makes me wonder, what superhero team has the most official political power in it's ranks?

The GotG have Groot. The JLA classically has a Princess/UN Ambassador and King, the Legion has a Senator, a Shadow Champion, and a Princess (Projectra) that I can think of off the top of my head.

[curlyjo1]

The X-Men currently have a king and queen.

[skalja]

Were Namor and T'Challa on the Avengers at the same time?

[curlyjo1]

I am not nearly as conversant with Avengers history as I am X-Men, so I'm not really sure. I only started picking up Avengers with the Busiek and Perez run.

[q99]

Namor had a fairly short stint, and T'Challa was only an off-again-on-again too, so I doubt it.

Planet X...Didn't Duck Dodgers blow that planet up?

[protogarrett]

Nope, Planet X was first Pluto, then... well there isn't one. After Uranus there are now 5 dwarf planets: Pluto, Charon, Haumea (Hawaiian diety), Makemake (Rapanui diety), and Eris (whose original name designated by the team who discovered it, awesomely, was Xena after the tv show).

I miss growing up with 9 planets. Now it's eight and five dwarf planets.

[lamashtar]

Ya gotta wonder how the astrologists took it..

[protogarrett]

I imagine a small number of suicides, plus, now, all of their charts have to be redrawn. Furthermore, doesn't that mean their failure to recognize and understand what defines a planet means they've been misreading their lives, loves, and futures incorrectly this whole time? Like trying to drive to somewhere in the U.S. and using Canadian roadmap?

Plus, it fucks up Sailor Moon canon, like, so bad.

[lamashtar]

Eh. Considering the math that goes into a real chart and how little influence the minor planets are supposed to have but how the original notions were based on the idea that they were STARS, I doubt it.

[protogarrett]

But Sailor Moon... Poor Sailor Makemake gets no love.

[mercia]

I don't care what they say, Pluto stays a planet until I'm no longer a Sailor Pluto fanboy. (Which will never happen.)

[shanejayell]

Seconded. ^__^

[demonprawn]

Not until the 24½th Century.

[lieut_kettch]

I believe it was him and Marvin. The only source of the Shaving Cream Molecule, wasn't it?

[tacobob]

Jah!

[comicoz]

Haven't read this book yet (no time!), now I will have to read it when I get home. Enjoying this book's quirkiness so much. It's like Herc in Space.

[sherkahn]

I can't read Herc in space without hearing it like they say it on the Muppet show.

[amaniwolf]

Ah Groot, how i love his tree-ness! And his Groot-ness. I also loved how he carried on a conversation with Maximus the Mad from the Inhumans, simply saying...I am Groot, and Maximus, thought he was a complete genious!

[neuhallidae]

I love the "Holy f-" reactions. Did they not expect him to be royalty, or were they not expecting someone so goddamn huge?

[okkult3000]

They are expressing appropriate awe at the majesty that is Groot.

[kamino_neko]

I like to think he randomly grew out of the floor...

As I don't read the book (it's not the REAL Guardians of the Galaxy!), I have nothing to contradict me. Therefore, I win. >_>

[geoffsebesta]

I think that's the word "EAT" hidden in the microphones in panel B.

[electronickiss]

Oh the puns.

Also, not digging the art but loving Quill all the same.
