One of the best buys this week is the Oni Press Starter Pack 2016, which includes seven of Oni’s most popular number one issues. The other great buy this week, based on sheer entertainment value, will no doubt be Rick and Morty #12.
Additionally, if you missed Rick and Morty #1, here’s your chance to get it, but you may want to call ahead to the comic shop so that variant collectors don’t snatch up the 5th printing before you can.

What people are saying:
- 9 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: “Bottom line, if you love the show, you’ll love the comic, and if you’ve never watched the show, [Rick and Morty #1] will make you want to run out and buy the DVDs as soon as you are humanly able. Oni Press has struck gold with Rick and Morty #1. […] Sitcoms are always tricky for comics to really take to, but the breathless insanity and solid emotional core of Rick and Morty may be the latest one that the medium embraces and takes to a whole other crop of fans. To sum it all up, WUB A LUB A DUB DUUUUB!” Newsarama
- 8 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: “Zac Gorman here thankfully understands the characters and style; nothing will seem out of the ordinary for fans of the show. All the characters seem to have the same voice (Morty’s wide eyed questioning, Rick’s irascible attitude and unpredictable nature along with father Jerry’s ego in the face of his innate mediocrity) here. […] Art wise the book perfectly recreates the design of the show. This goes for the character design (even the style for new characters and aliens) and the backgrounds.” Comic Buzz
- 8 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: “If you are a fan of the Rick and Mortythe TV show, there is no reason you won’t be a fan of this comic” Weird Science
- “Writer Zac Gorman […] has a steady grip on original creator Dan Harmon’s vision and style of humor. The beating heart of Rick and Morty is a knowledge of, and critical disdain for, sci-fi tropes, from the metaphysical nonsenses of time to the logical conclusions of endowing animals with consciousness. Gorman and arist CJ Cannon nail the feel almost perfectly […]” Overmental
RICK AND MORTY #12 In a very special issue of RICK AND MORTY, the family finds RICK’S SEVERED HEAD! Unable to find Morty, they assume both are dead and begin the somber steps of funeral arrangement. Meanwhile, Rick and Morty… have bigger problems.
