Rick and Morty

The hit comic book series based on Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s hilarious [Adult Swim] animated show RICK & MORTY continues! Catch up on the adventures of degenerate genius Rick Sanchez and his bumbling grandson Morty as they explore the outer reaches of time, space, and morality. This volume features Eisner award nominated writer Kyle Starks (SEXCASTLE) in collaboration with series artist CJ Cannon in a three-issue story of interplanetary drug rings and star-traveling pickup artists. Also included is "Rick Burn, Dude," drawn by artist Marc Ellerby, in which Rick and Morty take a germaphobic planet by storm, a totally swole one-shot drawn by Kyle Starks, and hilarious backup comics about the whole family!

Always excited to see what is in store in every issue, given that this universe has a potentially infinite number of stories. The writers have used that concept for all it is worth.

After the superb previous volume, this one was a mixed bag. Many of the stories aren't particularly worthy of being called 'stories' so much as they are just vignettes or scattered episodic moments that aren't worked up to anything significant or distinctive RnM in quality, which gives this volume a rather haphazard, scrapbook-like feel. Interdimensional Cable III doesn't work in the same amusing way as the animated series, medium-wise (advertisements, after all, are meant for tv), and the jokes weren't especially funny. 'The HurRICKcane' in my opinion was just awful - a kidnap plot framing what was basically a fairly superficial film buff argument. There was no build up, no effective punchline. The good stories in Issue #29-30 (coyly toying with the philosophical questions of fascism and possibly murdering Hitler) seem to have better art, to my untrained eye, and compensated for the less impressive ones.
