Praise for RICK AND MORTY
"[...] it's a pitch-perfect replica of the voice actors' performances, and the artwork, full of exaggerated cartoon shapes and grotesque creatures, expertly mimics the animation." Booklist
"Based on Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's [adult swim] animated cartoon, Rick and Morty walks a shredding tightrope among slapstick, pathos, and hilarity, with unexpected twists and a healthy sprinkle of nutty [sci-fi] concepts thrown in for good measure." Library Journal
"Oni's Rick and Morty comic captures the feel of the TV show exactly. Every issue has the same manic-but-meandering style as the best episodes. CJ Cannon's art could be lifted straight from the animation cels. Reading Zac Gorman's dialogue, with each character's familiar tics in place, it's hard not to hear each the actors' voices in your head. [...] Most importantly, it rarely leans on familiar characters and settings for simple fan service. It's as restlessly inventive as the show, taking you to new worlds and letting Rick and Morty be as awful as ever within them." ComicsAlliance
"[...] it both looks and reads exactly like what you've seen of the show [...] Bottom line, if you love the show, you'll love the comic [...] To sum it all up, WUB A LUB A DUB DUUUUB!" Newsarama
"[...] the monthly Rick and Morty comic published by Oni Press is damn funny and it's just as inappropriate and zany as the show." AIPT!
