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!

Rick and Morty vs. The Universe #1

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

The road to the biggest Rick & Morty event the Omniverse has ever seen begins with Rick and Morty: Finals Week – SheRick Holmes and Mortson #1 by multiple Emmy Award nominee Daniel Kibblesmith and fan-favorite artist Priscilla Tramontano — the first of five interconnected, oversized and bi-monthly one-shots from an all-star cast of cosmic talents past, present, and future! 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:
