''I Am Groot'' is a 2023 Creator/InfinityComics webcomic from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written and drawn by Chiya.

The series is a LighterAndSofter take on Groot, similar to the ''WesternAnimation/IAmGroot'' animated series, for an "all ages" audience. It's not part of the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse continuity that most of Marvel's comics and webcomics use.

Some other Marvel characters appear as guest stars, and are presented in a similar child-friendly style to Groot himself.

The first issue was released September 8, 2023.

!!''I Am Groot'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AlternateContinuity: ''I Am Groot'' is a LighterAndSofter take on the character, and isn't presented as part of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse continuity which first introduced Groot. Nor does it match the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse continuity of the film and TV adaptations.
* FrustratedOverheadScribble: In issue #2, Groot sees Hulk as a rival and starts attacking his shins. It has [[NoSell absolutely no effect]], but a grumpy Hulk's reaction to the punching is shown via a {{Speech Bubble|s}} scribble.
* InfiniteCanvas: As with Marvel's other Infinity Comics, it’s presented in the vertical scrolling variant. Each issue is a single long page, with one column of panels.
* RecycledTitle: Groot's catchphrase has previously been used as the title for a 2017 [[ComicBook/IAmGroot2017 comic book series]] as well as a [[WesternAnimation/IAmGroot 2022 animated series]].
* ThrowingTheFight: In issue #2, Groot decides that Hulk is his new rival and starts punching his shins. This initially seems to have [[NoSell absolutely no effect]] other than annoying Hulk, but he eventually topples backwards in defeat. A panel of Hulk lying on the ground, with Groot celebrating, strongly implies that it was just easier and less frustrating to let Groot win and [[DefeatMeansFriendship end the one-sided rivalry]].
