(C) Mildred Louis (@Froregade)
Back-up comic illustrated by Marc Ellerby (@MarcEllerby)
Age Range: 15 and up
Genre: Humor, Sci-fi
Price: $3.99
32 PagesA new comic miniseries based on Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s hilarious [adult swim] animated show RICK AND MORTY? Oooo-wee, that sounds great!
Mr. Poopybutthole is in trouble, and he turns to the one person he can trust: Summer Smith! She’s more than willing to help, but is he telling her the whole truth? Written and illustrated by Sarah Graley (Our Super Adventure) and colored by Mildred Louis (Agents of the Realm), Summer and Mr. Poopybutthole embark on their very own fantastic adventure across space, complete with jailbreaks, hijackings, and high school prom. Plus! Backup comics featuring good ol’ Rick and Morty, illustrated by Marc Ellerby!
Why We Love It:
- It’s an ENTIRE mini-series starring Mr. Poopybutthole, the fan-favorite character from the RICK AND MORTY animated series, and the always badass Summer Smith!
- It’s written and illustrated by the amazing Sarah Graley (Our Super Adventure) and colored by the fantastic Mildred Louis (Agents of the Realm).
- It features back-up stories written by Sarah Graley and illustrated by RICK AND MORTY comic artist veteran Marc Ellerby.
- Honestly, this is all you really need to see. If this doesn’t convince you, then you must have a heart of PURE DARKNESS AND HATE.

SPACE BATTLE LUNCHTIME #3
(W/A/C/CA) Natalie Riess (@Snarlbear)
Age Range: 8 and up
Genre: Sci-fi
Price: $3.99
32 pagesAfter surviving one round of Space Battle Lunchtime, Peony is a little more confident in her cooking abilities. And the chefs are warned against sabotaging each other, so maybe this round will go a little more smoothly. OR… the sabotage will continue! And this time, someone may end up in the hospital!
Why We Love It:
- Peony gets a new outfit (and it’s SUPER cute), and makes new friends (which is EVEN MORE cute).
- She may be cute and harmless, but Peony’s not giving up just yet. Just look at the LITERAL FIERY DETERMINATION IN HER EYES.
- No slug aliens were mortally injured in the making of this comic. Just seriously injured. (Don’t worry, he’s still on this mortal coil).

Dex is on a stakeout through a long night. Nothing is ever easy.

- The special standalone issue reads like a silent film, with expert visual storytelling illustrated by series artist Justin Greenwood (The Fuse, Stringers).
