Comics Review: Rick and Morty #25

A strong year comes to a sudden bump for the print adaptation of Rick and Morty.

I don’t think I’ve been that impressed with any attempt at the Rick and Morty comics featuring popular spin-off characters as the basis of their issues. Mr. Poopybutthole was a letdown and yes, this brand-new issue featuring Tiny Rick isn’t that great either.

Featuring a more crude art direction than prior issues, and a nonsensical plot, the feature story for #25 does little to provide a BUNCH of value and not a whole lot of laughs until we get to the end when the real Rick shows up to do battle with Tiny Rick. Fortunately, Rick and Jerry in “Superior Posterior” is a hundred times funnier, even if it is lame that we have to keep seeing “F*#k” in the dialogue as opposed to the real thing, but the premise was a whole lot better than the feature story and almost worthy enough for the issue purchase by itself.
