Oni Press Announces RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE Summer Event

Timed to accompany the show’s eighth season premiere on May 25th, Oni Press is getting in on the hot Rick and Morty summer with a brand-new event comic book series entitled Rick and Morty Vs The Universe. 

Spanning seven issues total – including the core RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE event series by Kibblesmith and Wiliams and continuing across three TOP SECRET TIE-IN SPECIALS co-piloted by Kibblesmith and a stunning array of surprise guest talents, 10 years of acclaimed RICK AND MORTY comics at Oni Press have all led to this: the ultimate, dimension-smashing jumping-on point for fans old, new and in-between! Beginning on July 9th in RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE #1, follow the epic fallout across seven stunning chapters:

From the deviant psyches of comics mastermind and multiple Emmy Award–nominee Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki), artistic annihilator Jarrett Williams (Speed Force, Super Pro K.O.), and a host of special guest talents, this summer’s seven-part countdown to the end of everything that was, is, and will is a cosmos-colliding Rick and Morty spectacular features, well, EVERYONE you recognize and may want to avoid from across the Omniverse!

… And did we mention that it all starts with a bachelor party that got a little out of hand?

Rick’s old buddy Dimension C-137 (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! 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!

Oni Press also wants to release a giant Rick and Morty Omnibus that they’ve launched a Kickstarter for and you can get more details on that here.
