Rick and Morty vs. The Universe #1

(W) Daniel Kibblesmith (A) Jarrett WIlliams

…And did we mention that it all starts with a bachelor party that got a little out of hand?

Rick’s old buddy Universe Prime (where Rick and Morty Cronenberg’d Earth) has reached his UNIVERSAL HALF-LIFE and is getting MARRIED—to the female-presenting embodiment of the Parmesan Dimension! (Where they currently live!)  He’s found true love and wants his old pal Rick to plan his bachelor party! WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Answer: Pretty much everything . . . and it is all Rick’s fault! Now Rick and Morty are on the run from EVERY SINGLE UNIVERSE THEY’VE EVER MESSED WITH—meaning, no matter what dimension they escape to, the universe will literally be against them. And, to survive, Rick will be forced to do something he hoped he would never have to do—a last resort of EPIC PROPORTIONS! 

The end of the world begins on July 9th with Rick and Morty vs. The Universe #1!

Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery celebrate 10 years of Cosmic Chaos with Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1

What better way to celebrate a whole decade of grandparental antics, disorderly schwifty-ing, and never-ending nihilistic cosmic chaos than in the 64-page, ginormous Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1 from Oni Press in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products! From Rick and Morty veterans Alex Firer and Fred C. Stresing, A TRIPLE-SIZED, SQUAREBOUND SPECTACULAR featuring a cast of thousands as they officially commemorate all the best (and worst) parts of everyone’s favorite intergalactic duo in comic shops throughout the omniverse on July 10th!

Rick has decided he’s finally ready to hang up his lab coat and move into a retirement home, but first he enlists Morty, Summer, Beth, and Jerry to help him pack and get all his crap out of the garage. But when disturbing the dark recesses of Rick’s storage shelves unleashes waves of visitors and consequences from adventures past, the family isn’t sure they want Rick to leave the home just yet. 

The acclaimed creative team behind Rick and Morty: The Space Shake Saga – writer Alex Firer and artist Fred C. Stresing – run an endless gauntlet of enemies, lovers, and completely inconsequential side characters from all 10 years of Rick and Morty—for new and old fans alike! Don’t miss the all-out rager in honor of the duo of the decade when the Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1 unleashes 64 pages of awesomeness on July 10th – featuring a wraparound standard cover by Marc Ellerby, alongside variant covers from James LloydSuzi Blake, and Fred C. Stresing.

The Road to the Biggest Rick and Morty Event EVER Starts with Rick and Morty: Finals Week – Five Interconnected Specials Beginning in February!

Featuring covers by Priscilla Tamontano and Phil Murphy, as well as the first of five interlocking incentive covers by Marc EllerbyFINALS WEEK’s first ginormous, 40-page epic – on sale February 21, 2024 – launches with a time-traveling misadventure that will reverberate across the entire Rick and Morty publishing line for years to come!

The worst week of Morty’s life starts right . . . NOW! It’s Monday, and Finals Week is off to a terrible start. Morty needs a little time off from adventuring in order to study . . . until Rick announces it’s time for them to team up like that other great literary duo: Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Transported to a locked-room murder mystery in space, Morty suspects Rick isn’t looking to spend time with his Watson, but rather find his own Moriarty . . . 

And that’s only Monday… Across 2024, watch in glee as Morty – and his test scores – suffer as each day of FINALS WEEK builds toward an inescapable turning point for the Rick and Morty omniverse! Across 2024, get ready for a new (and satisfyingly hefty!) 40-page installment of FINALS WEEK to land on stores shelves every other month as Oni Press lays the groundwork for a major cosmic crucible for Rick, Morty, and a literal cast of gazillions in the year ahead:

So Rick averted a Goldenfold invasion and sent Morty’s girlfriend into another dimension. Big deal. Well, now Morty’s mad for some reason and has gone to save Noelle. In his absence, hyper tech-bro and Rick fanboy Glug Vronsky swoops in to…impress Rick or something? Is this the end of Rick AND Morty? Rick and Glug? Doesn’t have the same ring to it.

From the mind’s eye of master storyteller Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Basilisk) and rising star Arjuna Susini (Made Men) comes a darkly glamorous tale of bone-splintering terror at the intersection of shadow and light… dream and nightmare… life and the grim specter of Death himself.

After weeks of grueling rehearsals, a new production is set to begin at the famed Requiem theatre: Razide’s Lament, three acts of gothic horror set inside a haunted castle with a story that some say is more than mere fantasy. Under the stern rule of a dedicated but temperamental director, the script seems to be ever-changing, and, more mysterious still, our lead actress has found herself cast in the role of a lifetime without so much as an audition.

After Rick denied his friend request, hyper tech-bro Glug Vronksy took it personally and imprisoned our hero in fancy space jail. Meanwhile, Rick-less, slightly losing his mind, and somehow working for Vronsky, Morty continues the search for his lost girlfriend, Noelle, but is a bit preoccupied with cleaning a giant dog. Who will attempt to save Rick from space jail? Who?! S-Summer…it’s Summer.

The all-new ongoing series continues!

Memento Mori

Writer/Artist/Cover by TIITU TAKALO
ON-SALE MAY 24, 2023 | $24.99 | 232 pgs. | FULL COLOR

In Memento Mori, celebrated Finnish graphic novelist Tiitu Takalo chronicles her sudden, unexpected cerebral hemorrhage and the long road to recovery she had to travel.

It is a dramatic story about a life turned upside down overnight: a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, the days and nights spent in an intensive care unit, and the long, painful recovery that led the artist to reflect on her life both past and present.

Much more than a story of survival, Memento Mori is a philosophical and psychological journey told with exceptional honesty and compassion. A deeply moving and insightful graphic novel from a master of the medium that is also ultimately a celebration of life.

Wren Booker was three when she was found alone and covered in blood on the streets of New York. Since that day, she’s been haunted by the childhood she can’t remember…until decades later when she finds a cryptic website streaming multiple CCT feeds from strange rooms in a ruined building. Something clicks, setting off hidden memories that lead her back to a place she’s seen in lifelong nightmares. Hunting for answers, Wren breaks in and finds herself lost in the camera-filled dark mazes of a decayed social experiment known only as BLINK…which she quickly discovers is not abandoned at all. But what should be a foreign nightmare-scape feels all too familiar for Wren as she follows her obsession all the way down, piecing together the story of BLINK—as well as her own ties to it.

Eisner-nominated Christopher Sebela (Dirtbag Rapture), Hayden Sherman (Dark Spaces: Wildfire), and Nick Filardi (Rogue Planet) team up for a found-footage horror where uncovering your past will leave you trapped inside it.

Two hundred years in the future, the survivors of an environmental cataclysm took refuge underground. Their descendants now live in a literal sewer, the bowels of a subterranean city–an abandoned future utopia–that was never completed. These sewerfolk, a collection of scavengers, misfits, bandits, renegades, and mutants, eke out a living in this underground maze of tunnels and canals.

Life is hard enough, but an overzealous mining company, PERCH, wants to get their claws on this new underground frontier. And they won’t hesitate to bulldoze any sewerfolk that get in their way.

Caught in the middle is Cricket, a young girl desperately searching for her family that fled underground. Join Cricket as she explores this savage new world to find her parents and unlock the secrets of a past long forgotten in the three-part graphic novel series, KNEE DEEP.
