Oni Press Releases a New Excerpt from RICK AND MORTY: THE MANGA, VOL. 1 – GET IN THE ROBOT, MORTY!

Oni Press — in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and Adult Swim — is releasing a new preview from their upcoming Rick and Morty graphic novel, Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1 – Get in the Robot, Morty!, arriving in stores on November 1. Spawned from the ‘anime-addled minds’ of writer Alissa M. Sallah (Weeaboo) and artist JeyOdin (Hammer, Miles Away), Get in the Robot, Morty! is the first in a new series of manga-styled Rick and Morty adventures and essential reading for longtime readers and manga mega-fans alike … if they can handle the multiversal thrill ride.

Continuing Oni’s long-running series of comic-book adventures for pop culture’s beloved dimension-hopping duo, this manga-inspired gauntlet of action and absurdity will see Rick and Morty face a foe unlike any they’ve seen before. Well, it’s basically Jerry, but he’s huge, fast, vicious, and… naked? Rick has the perfect solution: a giant mech fighting robot, perfectly designed and calibrated to take on the Jiant horde—but it needs a puny, socially isolated, 14-year-old pilot. Oh, we’ve got one! Summer, Morty, and his charming new friend Rowan navigate this violent post-apocalyptic world, where they still have to go to high school and Rick seems oddly invested in upgrading the mech with stylish new features.

“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 Senior Editor Bess Pallares.

Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1 – Get in the Robot, Morty! will be available in paperback at comic-book shops and booksellers everywhere on November 1.
