Which is a fucking shame: the movie is awesome and so are the Bendis titles.
I would suggest looking into Bendis' runs on Guardians, although the latest run has the Thing And Venom so a slightly different cast.
The movie is also pretty awesome.
I hope this hasn't turned you off this completely. There are some really excellent GoTG stories. The Rocket and Groot standalone series are also pretty amazing and usually have them working together. I love them best when they're together, so...
Oh, yeah, and that issue told by Groot - where you have to rely on the excellent art to tell what's going on - is amazing and doesn't get too wordy :P
If you need recommendations, let me know. I've read a good chunk of Guardians stuff, although nothing from the 3000 series that doesn't really appeal to me.
