How to Draw the Old School-Style Rocket from 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout!'
Rocket gets turned into a vintage cartoon character -- and now you can draw him with this step-by-step guide!
If you watched the latest episodes of "Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout!" this past weekend, you might have noticed that Rocket was looking a little... different. While he's not the only Guardians to take on a different appearance during the "Black Vortex" storyline that aired last weekend and this past weekend, Rocket went more old school than most!
