"... for I am Groot, overlord of all the timber in the galaxy!" Jacktober continues as Tommy & Mike D. talk about the monstrous beginnings of what would become everyone's favorite monosyllabic tree creature, GROOT! (Tales To Astonish issue 13- 1960.) We discuss how a one-off creature can become so beloved, continuity in comics and how it possibly hurts storytelling, and we recommend some movies that feature evil trees! Fun shit!
