An all-new four-issue comic series from creators Michael Moreci, Tony Gregori and Oni Press will tell gripping tales of rebellion, adolescence, freedom – and, of course, undermining the status quo no matter what dimension you find yourself in.
In what is billed by the publisher as “the most rebellious Rick and Morty epic ever attempted,” an all-new comic series, “Rick and Morty Riot: Youth in Rickvolt #1” is set to debut on August 21, 2024. From acclaimed writer Michael Moreci (“Barbaric,” “Wasted Space”) and “up-and-coming” illustrator Tony Gregori (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) comes a “revolutionary new comic about rebellion, adolescence, freedom – and, of course, undermining the status quo no matter what dimension you find yourself in!”
In the series, Rick’s been cagey lately—especially cagey. And secretive. After yet another misadventure with Morty goes haywire, Morty begins to pull away from his grandfather. So, Rick does what any healthy, mentally stable grandparent would do: he secretly creates a universe with new grandchildren who actually love him! Only problem is that universe has now reached adolescence and is rebelling, threatening the entire universe. This uprising, led by a fierce, glass-eyed Morty and his army of revolutionaries, aims to fight and kill the very god that created it: Rick.
The series features a line-up of “coup d'état–tastic” covers from artists Tony Gregori (“Rick & Morty, The Worst Dudes,” “TMNT,” “Ancient Noise”), Sarah Burrini (“Nerd Girl,” “The Hoax Files”), and Warren Wucinich (“Invader Zim,” “KRISS: The Gift of Wrath”).
