COVER A BY TONY GREGORI
PORTLAND, OR (May 14, 2024) – Let’s go! The most rebellious Rick and Morty epic ever attempted starts on August 21st in RICK AND MORTY: YOUTH IN RICKVOLT #1! From acclaimed writer Michael Moreci (Barbaric, Wasted Space) and up-and-coming illustrator, Tony Gregori (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) comes a revolutionary new Rick and Morty comic series about rebellion, adolescence, freedom – and, of course, undermining the status quo no matter what dimension you find yourself in!
Rick’s been cagey lately—especially cagey. And secretive. After yet another misadventure with Morty goes haywire, Morty begins to pull away from his grandfather. So, Rick does what any healthy, mentally stable grandparent would do: he secretly creates a universe with new grandchildren who actually love him! Only problem is that universe has now reached adolescence and is rebelling, threatening the entire universe. This uprising, led by a fierce, glass-eyed Morty and his army of revolutionaries, aims to fight and kill the very god that created it: Rick.
Featuring a line-up of coup d'état–tastic covers from the respectable regime of artists Tony Gregori (Rick & Morty, The Worst Dudes, TMNT, Ancient Noise), Sarah Burrini (Nerd Girl, The Hoax Files), and Warren Wucinich (Invader Zim, KRISS: The Gift of Wrath)– get ready to overthrow all things Rick and salute the flag to a brand new Morty when RICK AND MORTY: YOUTH IN RICKVOLT #1 arrives August 21st!
