3. Rocket Raccoon In Guardians Of The Galaxy
Marvel StudiosWith this furry little fella's stock about to rise with the release of the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie at the end of July, Marvel have of course seen fit to place him in his own series. Created by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Keith Giffen, Rocket is an anthropomorphic raccoon space pirate who serves as a member of the Guardians and is the captain of his own ship Rack 'n' Ruin (his first mate is a talking walrus named, erm, Wal Russ.) Often considered the heart of the Guardians team, his yet to be released solo title will involve, among other things, Rocket taking a lady friend on a date to watch his best friend and sentient tree Groot fight in an MMA match, and go on the run through space when he becomes a wanted man. So standard anthropomorphic raccoon type stuff then.
