Media Release -- Morty is sick and tired of Rick always being a big selfish jerk, so he convinces Rick to go harvest some "space medicine" on an alien planet. They even bring Summer, even though she won't stop crying about having her heart broken or whatever. But while on the planet, they get interrupted by robobros and some heavy-cologne-wearing dude named Peacock Jones, so Morty might have to resort to some truly unspeakable tactics in order to get the medicine and get home safely.

Why We Love It:

It's the debut of our new series writer, Kyle Starks, creator of the 2016 "Best Humor Publication" Eisner Award-nominee Sexcastle! Check out his interview with the L.A. Times about writing RICK AND MORTY!
It's the beginning of a three issue story arc!
This issue is called "The Ricky Horror Peacock Show." Come on, that's freaking hilarious.
What new series writer Kyle Starks has to say:

"I'm hoping I'm going to come right in, and people just from the start will say, 'That's one heck of a Rick and Morty man.' Because I feel like I'm one heck of a Rick and Morty man. I like to think that my oeuvre is 'dumb smart.' It's dumb, but I make it a little bit more than just a butt gag, basically. It's a butt gag that is also some sort of play on, like, John Locke's philosophy."
