Take Korg's first words in the film: "Over here. Now before one is left to assume that Guardians is the only Marvel property with funny non-humans, Thor: Ragnarok introduced Korg, a rock-being who is a brilliantly funny, dry wit with a pitch-perfect deadpan provided by the brilliantly funny, dry wit Taika Waititi. Since we're on the Guardians train, Howard the Duck's ( Seth Green) appearance in the post-credits scene, sipping a drink amidst the wreckage that was the Collector's ( Benicio Del Toro) lair and admonishing him for allowing Cosmo the Space Dog to lick his face, was a welcome, humorous moment that (almost) cleansed the bad taste left by the debacle that was the Howard the Duck movie. That brings the fantasy element that breeds escapism for the viewer. ![]() Or more recently, Veb ( David Dastmalchian) from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a gelatinous comic relief character that's only one of the fantastical beings in the Quantum Realm. Look at Groot ( Vin Diesel) - he's a sentient tree that's good with a gun and uses his branches effectively. He's a freaking talking raccoon with an attitude, an arsenal, and brains. Now let's look at Rocket ( Bradley Cooper). Heck, he's not even the first billionaire to spend scads of cash on becoming a superhero, with Bruce Wayne beating Stark to the punch by a full 24 years.

That may just perfect for introducing very young children to the visual literacy of comics, getting used to the existence of speech bubbles and understanding how they work. It’s actually classified by Amazon as “Children’s Superhero Comics”, which is fair enough, though it is more of a hybrid of picture book format and comics format with limited speech balloons. Written by Brendan Deneen and illustrated by Cale Atkinson, the book has a fun premise–that Groot is trying to be a good Baby Groot and go to bed, but his duties in saving the galaxy keep getting in the way. ![]() A children’s book was released this week that celebrates the Guardians of the Galaxy and no doubt springs from the idea of Baby Groot in the upcoming film– Night Night, Groot. ![]()
