"Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2" didn't disappoint fans. The 2017 MCU movie trailer has revealed more baby Groot with his cute voice.

The comic book will have 32 pages and priced at $3.99. During an interview with ComicBook, writer Chris Hastings threw talked more about the story.
Hastings stated that the first thing to notice in baby Groot is his super cuteness and he is really funny. But the story doesn't focus on his cuteness alone, but how he can survive even with his limited abilities to communicate.
"I started thinking about the Zelda games that Link doesn't talk in," ComicBook quoted Hastings. "Why they manage to have such rich worlds and stories all the same, how to take something like that mute first person character experience and translate it into a comic."
"I Am Groot #1" will available in the market in May 2017. However, it's not clear whether the comics will be released before or after "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", which releases on May 5.
