Marvel officially announces a Rocket Raccoon spinoff mini-series for Summer 2026. The Guardians of the Galaxy stand apart from Earth-bound teams like the Avengers through their distinct blend of cosmic scale and found-family grit. Most superhero organizations are known for their status as sanctioned protectors or elite task forces, while the Guardians are a group of marginalized outcasts, mercenaries, and former villains who are forced together by the sheer necessity of survival.
