Review: Rick and Morty #1

Overview

Oni Press re-launches Rick and Morty’s comic ongoing series with a brand-new swath of rogue characters…kinda. Imagine a multiverse where Goldenfold, and a young sidekick of his own, leads the pursuit of madcap adventure and groundbreaking knowledge. Meanwhile, Rick and Morty are just looking for a Space shake.

Our Take

Writer Alex Firer comes in with pencil guns a’blazin’ with a fresh take on a seldom used Rick and Morty character, even adding an additional character in the form of Noelle and the possibility of a Council of Goldenfolds! Some pretty rad ideas that might actually be worth visiting for a proper series of its own, Goldenfold uses math as the basis of his genius as a counter to Rick’s use of science and with it brings with it a familiarity, but with enough differences where the concept works well on its own and brings with it a wealth of possibilities.

Let’s see where this goes!
