Will Rocket Raccoon become the first character since Wolverine to become the next Wolverine?

Seems like it...

Don't see it personally but I could be wrong.

[MindofShadow]

I hope so.

The more A list characters the better.

Even if Rocket jumps for D list to B list that would be extraordinary... it doesn't happen often...

A lot of it will depend on how good the movie is I would guesss (or how well it does)

I hope so, he's a pretty great character, and he's had a quite bigger role I'm the MU showing up in Infinity and next issue of Original Sin where he teams up with the punisher.

next issue of Original Sin where he teams up with the punisher.

SERIOUSLY?

All my dreams are coming true.

No, most people are talking about 300k orders and not the character.

[UltimateTy]

I hope not I got sick of wolverine. It would be cool if he became popular but not overexposed.

[CJStriker]

I hope he becomes the next Wolverine, Spider-Man, DeadPool, just not as overexposed, but indeed gains a nice slice of A-Lister Popularity, So I can see it being a possibility if many good things fall into place.

So I say a Possible Yes.

I think it really depends on the strength of the movie. If GotG is a hit, you're going to see a ton of toy sales and the like. Whether that actually equates to comic sales is dicey, but I think Marvel is definitely putting their best foot forward by courting younger fans with the Scottie Young series.

Wasn't Deadpool the first character since Wolverine to become the next Wolverine?

Anyway, I'm glad Rocket is getting the spotlight. I hope it lasts beyond the movie. Can't wait to see him in Disney Infinity 2.0

[DrNewGod]

He's fun, but I can't see it sustaining.

It would probably be better if he doesn't. I have a picture in my head of kids all over the country wanting to play with the cute forest critters that look just like Rocket, only to discover what viciously violent beasts raccoons really are.

A funny animal becoming popular and an A lister? I could never see it.

I don't think so but I hope so.

He was. Rocket Raccoon won't be, at least in the comic world. This is a result of the movie, which might temporarily boost him into superstar status but do we really see him carrying 2 or 3 solo titles ten years down the line? It's possible, but comically over-sized gun to my head I'd say it's not happening.

He might however be more popular outside of our little niche hobby if the movie is as much of a success as I want it to be. He's by far the most marketable character of the bunch, and a Rocket Raccoon & the Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon seems like a no-brainer.
