Rick and Morty vs. The Universe #1

…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!

Adapted from an original screenplay written by Reginald “Redman” Noble, Muddy Waters Too: The Graphic Novel is created by Reginald “Redman” Noble, and co-written by Reginald “Redman” Noble and Ben Katzner, with art by Geo Gant, colors by Fred C.

Doc knows Mud can save the world, helping to feed everyone…but, more importantly, it’ll grow a bunch of super potent weed. Too bad his Mud has been stolen. Now it’s up to Doc and his crew to get his invention back, as they cross paths with angry girlfriends, the world’s worst case of gingivitis, and Doc’s one true weakness…perfectly pedicured toes.

Muddy Waters Too: The Graphic Novel is available to preorder now​. The mass market softcover editions will hit bookstore shelves in July, 2025.

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.

A late bloomer who has yet to find her calling, Amelia uses her powers for mostly mundane problems but even those lead to magical misfires. As her family’s fame continues to rise, they have no choice but to exclude their bumbling black-sheep daughter from the next great chapter of the Aierwoods – reality TV! With the help of her adopted brother Spaghetti – who she accidentally turned into a yeti… long story – Amelia must carve her own path outside of her family’s influence.
