The hotly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is still a few months away, but thankfully Disney XD has released the first episode of a new Guardians-related web-series that focuses on the characters of Rocket Raccoon and Groot. Hopefully, it will be enough to tide us over until the eventual release of the blockbuster. Check out the first episode of Marvel’s Rocket & Groot, entitled ‘Dream Machine’, here…
Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
