Oni Press, Warner Bros. Discovery and Adult Swim have announced that they are putting a manga spin on the hit animated series Rick and Morty with the release of the new graphic novel Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1 – Get in the Robot, Morty!, set for release this November.
“Rick and Morty has always skewered and elevated pop culture tropes through an irreverent lens, and Get in the Robot, Morty! takes on the beloved genre of mech-fighting manga with that characteristic sardonic flair. Fans of adult animation who’ve followed from Toonami’s Midnight Run to Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty are going to find characters, humor, heart, and of course bloody, outrageous battles they know and love in these pages. If anyone could make Gendo Ikari look like a reasonable parent, it’s Rick Sanchez,” says Oni Press Senior Editor Bess Pallares. “Creating this book was a pop culture dream come true, and we plan to further sully the good name of manga with future volumes of Rick and Morty: The Manga, exploring more genres and storylines ready for a shakeup.”
Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1 – Get in the Robot, Morty! is written by Alissa Sallah (Weaboo) with art from JeyOdin (Hammer); check out an early first look preview here…
