This fall Rick and Morty: The Manga will be taking off with its first volume, and if you want a taste, there will be a place to lick it soon. In the next few weeks, comic shops across America will be receiving a pack of 20 preview comics, each 16 pages in length and suggested for an MSRP of free. Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1: Get in the Robot, Morty! is not really a manga in the traditional sense, but more a parody of one. A crossover in concept between Attack on Titan and Evangelion, it concerns an unwilling Morty having to suit up in a giant mecha to take on an army of giant, buck naked Jerrys. The first volume is written by Alissa M. Sallah (Weaboo) with drawings from artist JeyOdin (Hammer, Miles Away). “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

Rick and Morty should be very familiar with the stylings of Japanese cartoons by now; two anime specials have aired on Adult swim so far and a full series is in the works. Those, however, were written and illustrated entirely in Japan. Rick and Morty: The Manga will be more of a parody, produced in America and spoofing contemporary anime properties. Subtitled “Get in the Robot, Morty!,” this first volume comes to us from writer Alissa M. Sallah (Weaboo) and artist JeyOdin (Hammer, Miles Away).

Any frequent viewer of Adult Swim knows the higher-ups have been lending their most valuable property to Japan for the country’s own take on it. Two Rick And Morty anime specials have aired on the channel and a full series is in the works for the future. Oni Press, the current producer of Rick and Morty comic books, figured it was time to explore a similar market. Introducing Rick and Morty: The Manga! The black-and-white adventures of a mad scientist and his family in a world of giant robots! They key difference here, though, is that the Oni version will be a clear parody made in America, as opposed to the anime on Adult Swim that are the authentic product. The book will go beyond cliches and satirize specific manga targets. Given that the description mentions “a horde of 60 foot tall, curiously naked Jerrys” we can name at least one. Subtitled “Get in the Robot, Morty!,” this first volume comes to us from writer Alissa M. Sallah (Weaboo) and
