After The End, Everything is Over in Rick and Morty Forever #0 – A Double-Sized, 48-Page Comic Book Milestone Farewell Coming in May!

Posted on by

Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced Rick and Morty Forever #0 – a gargantuan, 48-page spectacular bidding fond farewell to Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith’s 100+ comic book issue run at Oni as we hurtle them back into the void from which they came in one last shamelessly transparent promotional stunt arriving on May 27th from nigh-omnipotent writer Daniel Kibblesmith and franchise über-veteran Troy Little! Plus: In one last expectation-defying fit of pique, this double-sized, super-key, ultra-milestone and soon-to-be-slabbed testament to greatness features the most surprising twist of all: only one cover! Even better: It’s a wraparound (!!) etched into immortality in stunning silver foil (!!!) as rendered by the incomparable Troy Little (!!!!) himself! 

Yes, the rumors are true (because we keep announcing them ourselves) Oni Press, unsatisfied with the end of THE END proudly presents Rick and Morty Forever, the final issue of Oni Press’ immortal run on the sci-fi, dimension-hopping, foul-mouthed, pretentiously beautiful, intellectual temper tantrum turned cultural phenomenon known as Rick and Morty.

How do you punish the smartest man in the universe? Show him everything—everything—he’s ever wanted to know or see, and afford him no power to do anything about it. Rick Sanchez, the destroyer of worlds. Now he sits in endless observation of all there is to see, tortured by cosmic impotence, the ultimate expression of “go to your room and think about what you did.”

But in his endless torment, Rick realizes that a fate of unspeakable horror also awaits his unwitting companion: his grandson, Morty. Can Rick save the soul of the only being that ever stood by him through all his indiscretions? Can the transformative power of love give rise to the triumph of the human spirit? Or is everything just #@$%@?

Oni Press celebrates an honest-to-goodness comic book milestone more than a decade in the making as Rick and Morty Forever #0 portals into comic shops for one last hurrah in a 48-page barrage of shock and awe – and sporting just one foil-licous cover from omniversal legend Troy Little – arriving on May 27th! 

Plus, also in May: Before FOREVER seals the deal on this eternal goodbye, Daniel Kibblesmith and Jarrett Wiliams begin their final statement on Rick on and Morty’s wildly off-the-rails mentor-pupil relationship in Rick and Morty: The End #5 (of 5) – on sale April 8! Does that make Rick and Morty Forever #0 an actual finale or more of a denouement? Only your local comic shop retailer knows for sure – be sure to ask them, they love this question!

Rick and Morty: The End #1

(W) Daniel Kibblesmith (A) Jarrett Williams

Rick Sanchez, the most wanted man in this and every other universe, is on the run. With a bounty on his head, every government, military, pirate, mobster, bounty hunter, bail bondsman, religious institution, theater troupe, circus clown, and endangered species is on the hunt to bring in Rick—DEAD OR ALIVE. The only one who can bring Rick in warm is the one person who knows him best: Morty Smith. But Morty’s not the only Smith hot on Rick’s trail . . . “Space Beth” Smith is determined to bring Rick in, and she doesn’t particularly care how. Now it’s just a question of who can get to him first! 

THIS TITLE IS NOT SOME KIND OF ARTFUL METAPHOR, FOLKS! After ten years and one hundred-plus issues, the beginning of THE END starts here as cosmic annihilators Daniel Kibblesmith and Jarrett Williams prepare to unleash a fantastically fatal finale for RICK AND MORTY!

Obviously, after reading all of that, you’re already on your feet, gripping your electronic device in anticipation. However, you may want to put that device down as you’re about to learn more about the cover art and the excitement will force your hands into squeezing said device into a pulp of metal scraps and electronics because you can’t wait any longer. Rick and Morty: The End #1 sets phasers to “Excitement” with covers by “Dangerous” Dave Bardin, “Terrific” Troy Little, “Phantastic” Phil Murphy, and “Also Terrific” Tom Fowler!

And we haven’t even mentioned the blind bag-less variants featuring Rick and Morty looking at their past adventures! Prepare for THE END OF RICK AND MORTY COMIC BOOKS WITH RICK AND MORTY: THE END #1, blasting into stores on December 3!

Genius Idea! Rick and Morty: The End #1 Introduces “Blind Bag-Less” Variant Comic Book Covers

Posted on by

In advance of this December’s milestone comic book release of Rick and Morty: The End #1, Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have revealed a full-blown turning point in the arc of human civilization: THE BLIND BAG-LESS VARIANT COVER! In memoriam of 10 years and 100+ issues of Rick and Morty comics from Oni Press, each randomized Blind Bag-Less Variant Cover for Rick and Morty: The End #1 (of 6) will see the interdimensionally codependent duo of science adventurers portal back into one of their “greatest” Rick and Morty comic book covers of years past in a totally respectful and not all destructive manner. 

But, back to the Blind Bag-Less part… What the $#% does that mean, anyway? Oni’s glad you asked, friend! Simple: It’s the latest innovation in cutting-edge comic book marketing technology. You see, Oni Press accidentally bent all nine copies of Battle Dog #1 that they hastily opened with their teeth in the parking lot of their local comic shop. So they asked themselves, “Surely there must be a better way?!” Enter: The Blind Bag-Less Variant Cover—the most convenient, no-mess, no-fuss variant cover delivery system ever attempted. No flimsy plastic, no waste—nothing to protect you from the raw comic book awesomeness of Rick and Morty teleporting back through time and space to hilariously deface some of their most iconic comic covers of the past decade, totally randomized in no particular order. (In the biz, this is typically known as a randomized “intermix” cover…but, now, officially rebranded as Blind Bag-Less across all space and all time forever and even more forever after that).

But why, you ask, as you pound upon your aging computer desktop with the fury of 9,127 unopened emails? WHY, DAMN YOU, WHY?! Because Rick and Morty: The End #1 is coming … AND THIS COMIC BOOK TITLE IS NOT SOME KIND OF ARTFUL METAPHOR, FOLKS! After 10 years and 100+ issues, the beginning of THE END starts here as acclaimed writer Daniel Kibblesmith and artistic annihilator Jarrett Williams prepare to unleash a fantastically fatal finale for Rick and Morty spinning directly out of the aftermath of Rick and Morty vs. Tthe Universe #1! 

Comic book readers will find it all starts here as Rick Sanchez, the most wanted man in this and every other universe, is on the run. With a bounty on his head, every government, military, pirate, mobster, bounty hunter, bail bondsman, religious institution, theater troupe, circus clown, and endangered species is on the hunt to bring in Rick – DEAD OR ALIVE. The only one who can bring Rick in warm is the one person who knows him best: Morty Smith. But Morty’s not the only Smith hot on Rick’s trail . . . “Space Beth” Smith is determined to bring Rick in, and she doesn’t particularly care how. Now it’s just a question of who can get to him first…!

What’s bigger than Rick and Morty vs. Tthe Universe? THE END OF ALL THINGS, that’s what! Get ready for a climax on a cosmic scale as Daniel Kibblesmith and Jarrett Williams re-unite for a must-read, colossal six-part finale for Rick and Morty, featuring covers by Dave Bardin, Troy Little, Tom Fowler, and many more top-secret talents – only in comic shops and not on TV!

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!

Portal into a New Demon-sion in Rick and Morty: Rick or Treat Halloween Special #1!

Posted on by

This fall, Oni Press presents GHOSTS, GHOULS, AND THE SCARIEST THING YET: GRANDPA RICK! From bone-chilling writer Brockton McKinney and macabre artist Marc Ellerby comes Rick and Morty: Rick or Treat Halloween Special #1 – frighteningly funny, brand-new 64-page spooktacular hitting shelves just in time for the spooky season on September 25th!

Rick is hard at work in the garage, but Morty just won’t stop yapping, so he opens up a portal and brings in a weird, gothy-looking girl named Lil Wigsley. Rick explains that Lil Wigsley will tell Morty stories if he’ll shut up and listen—but these aren’t just any old stories. They’re horrifically banal, but it soon becomes clear that Rick and Sister Lil Wigsley’s intent to distract Morty is more terrifying than the tepid tales they’ve been spinning! 

Featuring sweeter-than-candy-covers from supernatural talents Marc Ellerby, Jarrett Williams, and Aaron Conley, join everyone’s favorite Grandpa-Grandson duo in their latest 64-page nightmare- uh, adventure, as the Rick and Morty: Rick or Treat Halloween Special #1 rises from the grave on September 25th!
