InMech Strike : Monster huntsman # 3 , written by Christos Cage with art by Paco Diaz , the Avengers ( along with Rocket and Groot ) apply their newly - acquiredmech causa from theMech Strikeseries(powered by the Eye of the Kraken ) to struggle the gigantic Kraken in the streets of New York City . Their weapon system are mostly unable , and the Kraken ’s tentacles revitalize every time they are severed . Groot asks"I am Groot?“to which Rocket responds"Enough with the technical jargon , Groot ! It does n’t matter how it works!“Evidentially , Groot ’s individual line was actually a long - meander technical hypothesis concerning the functionality of the Kraken ’s magnate - and in a rather ironic supervision of Polonius ' ' brevity is the soul of brainpower ' , it is hilarious .
