Review: RICK AND MORTY: YOUTH IN RICKVOLT #3

Overview

After Morty, Summer, and Jerry inadvertently wind up in the Revolution World, they are quickly confronted by Revolution Summer and her band of rebels. There they are presented with an ultimatum: join the cause or suffer the consequences! Meanwhile, underneath the watchful glass eye of Revolution Morty, Rick and Beth must survive a death run into the heart of the Urban World, where they’ll unlock the key to this whole stupid rebellion . . . and discover a squishy, bulging horror that threatens the very brains of our heroes!

Our Take

Moreci’s newest issue seems to be setting us up for one hell of a finale and the results couldn’t be funnier. The dialogue in this entire series has been ridiculously funny and the plot is very well thought out and oozing with sophistication not unlike what we used to get from the OG animated series. Tony Gregori is a fantastic artist and a perfect one to pick for this story because as a guy who used to do art for TMNT, that makes him a great pick to illustrate dinosaurs, weird zombie-looking characters, and brain overlords not unlike a certain leader of alien Utrom warriors.

Also of interest, Oni Press has been reducing the number of people needed to help put together a Rick and Morty comic and I actually think this helps keep cooks out of the kitchen and keeps things concise. Moreci and Gregori make a fantastic team and I’m excited to see how they wrap this series up.
