Rocket and his crew are fighting a noble last stand against the killer toys, when the robots arrive to help, with the now-same humans in tow! With their combined forces, they end the toy war and send Jakes and Dyvyne off in defeat! #marvel #rocketraccoon
As expected, there’s a lot more fighting between animals and robots, while Rocket is wondering if sanity exists somewhere outside the Keystone Quadrant! Hopefully he can make it there someday…. #marvel #rocketraccoon
[Rocket Raccoon #4, Aug. 1985] It’s a revolution on Halfworld! What happens when the Loonies run the asylum!? [#cmro M5949]
Over generations, the robots on Halfworld exceeded their programming, and sought a better way to care for their insane patients. They genetically enhanced the animals to talk and care for the humans, which is how Rocket Raccoon and the others were created! #marvel #rocketraccoon
I’m going to skip all the exploding robots and just jump to the end: Blackjack O’Hare is now being hunted down by the toymakers as well, so he agrees to team up with Rocket Raccoon in exchange for protection! #marvel #rocketraccoon
So I think that’s the plot of this miniseries: Two toymakers want to kill each other. They’re each trying to use Rocket against the other. And everyone wants to marry Lylla, for either love or money! #marvel #rocketraccoon
Just to add one more character to this drama, Uncle Pyko is a toymaker working for Judson Jakes, and is also attempting to translate the Halfworld Bible. At least there’s one character who isn’t trying to marry Lylla, who has just been kidnapped by Dyvyne! #marvel #rocketraccoon
A good half of this comic is just various animals and robots flying around and shooting at each other! But in this early version of the character, Rocket Raccoon flies around using rocket skates! If you remember nothing else from this comic, remember that! #marvel #rocketraccoon
I like how Lord Dyvyne’s scanner shows the actual panel from the previous page, complete with word balloons and narration! And now we see the other subplot: Lord Dyvyne wants to marry Rocket’s girlfriend Lylla, primarily for the company she inherited! #marvel #rocketraccoon
And here is Mayhem Mekaniks, the factory run by Judson Jakes. And in case you’re wondering: No, I don’t know if the gun-toting rat in the foreground is some sort of guard, or if he’s just doing some hunting in his spare time! #marvel #rocketraccoon
