Rick and Morty’s Manga Debut: What You Need to Know
Rick and Morty has always cut and picked up pop culture tropes with a disrespectful lens, and Get in the Robot, Morty! takes on the beloved genre of mecha fighting manga with a characteristic sardonic twist. Fans of adult animation who have watched Toonami’s Midnight Catch or Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty will find their favorite characters, humor, heart and, of course, the gory, outrageous battles they know and love. If anyone could make Gendo Ikari look like a sensible parent, it’s Rick Sanchez. The creation of this book was a pop culture dream come true, and we plan to tarnish the good name of manga even more with future volumes of Rick and Morty: The Manga., exploring more genres and storylines ready to shock.
senior editor Bess Pallares said in an official statement regarding the announcement of Rick and Morty: The Manga.
Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol 1 – Get in the Robot, Morty! will hit retail shelves in paperback on November 1, 2023.
