So what changes have occurred 'twixt solicitations and publication in a week or two's time? Well, there are a few worth noting as always.
Best to be prepared..

On the con floor #ricomiccon pic.twitter.com/rLyo9so3Ue — Eliza Dushku (@elizadushku) November 1, 2014 It's not the worst problem for a Comic Con to have.
And comics news reporting sites become implicit in that market distortion every time we run them as a story.
Latour and Rodriguez' first appearance of Spider-Gwen in Edge Of Spider-Verse #2 gets a third printing, as the standard cover for first printing sells for up to $37 on eBay, unslabbed.
While Gerard Way's Edge Of Spider-Verse #5[...]
The usual top-notch storytelling continues the tale which has Rocket Raccoon chasing after a doppelganger that may or may not be real, all the while running from a legion of ex-girlfriends.
The cool stuff's all here in #4: Crazy sound effects, a Guardians of the Galaxy cameo and more (am I the only one who feels[...]
Marvel has announced that Guardians of the Galaxy will be getting their own animated series on Disney XD.
This announcement isn't a huge surprise as test footage for the series was shown during the San Diego Comic Con and it's well known that Disney is trying to give a push to the XD network, so adding[...]
Never underestimate the appeal of Skottie Young, the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie and the fact that he's a raccoon with a gun, The six figure selling debut issue is adding some more copies with a fourth printing of Rocket Raccoon #1.

Including a Nerd Block exclusive cover for The Tenth Doctor #1 and The Eleventh Doctor #1.
And, unlike Marvel with Rocket Raccoon #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #1, because Titan Comics are not Diamond exclusive, Titan could sell direct to Nerd Block bypassing Diamond's figures – and costs?
They may have lost their PR opportunity to get both comics[...]

While doing the press tour for Muppets Most Wanted on DVD/Blu-Ray, Kermit the Frog was asked about his thoughts on the latest animal characters in the
But Rocket would probably still have had the top spot anyway when a certain film was already on the way and soon to be released.
150,000 of the 300,000 preorders through Diamond for Rocket Raccoon #1 by Skottie Young were reserved for the aforementioned geek subscription service.
But that still left 150,000 for normal direct market comic[...]
In issue 1 of Rocket Raccoon we encountered a small furry fellow as much a hit with the ladies as he seems to be with worldwide film audiences right now.
Though that appearance was rather short lived.
Instead we got some kind of cross between The First Wives Club and Scott Pilgrim, with Rocket Painted as the[...]
Rocket Raccoon by Skottie Young hit some of same beats as the movie, as did Star-Lord Superior Spider-Man sets up the Edge of the Spider-verse giving us more Ock Spidey And Kick-Ass ended…well pretty damn kick ass I don't spoil anything, but I felt I needed to say it wasn't a let down in any[...]

A few months ago, we ran a number of pieces detailing the relationship between Bill Mantlo, co-creator of Rocket Raccoon and severely debilitated by a traffic accident decades ago, and Marvel Comics, then in the process of creating The Guardians Of The Galaxy.
His brother and carer Michael Mantlo told us then,
Bill was treated in an exceptionally fair[...]

Tickets are bought and later today at the time of writing, the family will be seeing Guardians of the Galaxy. My 8 year old son is stoked and will be taking his Lego Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon with him to watch movie. His knowledge and excitement[...]
We'll tell you what we think in a moment,
But it's probably a lot will revolve around Rocket Raccoon.
Now, our furry freak second appeared in Incredible Hulk #271 written by Bill Mantlo.
As a result, it has been attracting considerable collector mentality.
And with the release of Guardians Of The Galaxy in the UK the issue, CGC slabbed with[...]
Yes, it is 'fun' and Rocket Raccoon has the most jokes To me that feels like it is selling it short though I even feel Rocket's best scene, where he is drunk at a bar and expressing his hurt at being called "vermin", is drowned out by the praise for some of his funnier scenes[...]
