Solicit Synopsis

GROUNDED!

• The forests of the Earth vary…

• From prickly pines to bearers of fruit…

• But now they’re home to a new tree…

• Who tells me that his name is Groot.

Notes

• Despite their appearing in this issue, at this point the day after Civil War II #6, Bucky was actually in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody following the events of Thunderbolts (Vol. 3) #5 and Miles was a fugitive on the run.
