I haven't enjoyed the series ever since Kyle Starks took over, all the characters are obnoxious, the sci-fi ideas are repetitive, the dialogue is a pastiche and the volumes are incredibly episodic, with multiple stories even on a single issue.

Amazing to think that six volumes into the run, Rick & Morty comics are nailing it harder than ever. Several of the previous volumes were good, but I think Vol. 6 is my favorite one yet. Does a great job of telling a fun and interesting story while maintaining the authentic feel of the show, and strikes a perfect balance of art and text.
Recommend for fans of the show.

Rick: "Dammit, Jerry, is there anything you can't mess up?"
Beth: "No. I make him sit down when he pees."
More good times, more jokes at Jerry's expense.
Can't get enough of these guys!

While this was a fairly typical (enjoyable and entertaining) collection, I'm still a bit put off with the issues that the writer is also doing the art. On one hand the quality of the art looks pretty amateurish when compared with other issues; and on the other hand, the quality of the story seems to be reckless and poorly paced. Still, there was some other chapters that were quite good. Just get Starks away from the drawing board and things would probably get better.

Review is for volumes 6-12 of the main series.
The art gets more inconsistent, an overreliance on retreaded side characters feels more lazy than it does a response to popular demand, and the laughs dwindle to a precious few. per issue.

A day in the life of Beth. Morty has to juggle two dates to the dance, and Rick give Morty a gun that can tell you the percentage of Hitler within each person.
An all around great volume!

These lesser adventures of the title duo didn't do much for me as they fend off an alien invasion, tangle with Justin Bieber clones, kill Hitlers, and watch interdimensional cable TV. I thought it was a good choice to have a Beth Smith solo adventure but it got less interesting as her day at the veterinarian's office went over the top with gory violence and leaned into bleak darkness.

All the volumes before this one had an ongoing longer story in different issues with few shorter stories but this one is just a collection of short stories in each issue.
The stories have a great flow and each one has a different unique element to them.
PS: Get Drippy Boy in the show already!!!

The Rick and Morty comics to date do a great job of capturing the feel of the show. I can definitely "hear" the voices and the pacing is spot on.

Just like the show.
Loved the new character Drippy Boy! I hope he comes back somehow.
Didn't like the 4th issue's illustration. Kyle Starks illustrated this issue. While he's great at writing the Rick and Morty comics, his illustration style is so different that it breaks the continuity for me, and I just don't like it in general. This same issue also had an interdimensional cable storyline, and those always feel kind of lazy on the part of the writers and less interesting.
The 5th issue had a different illustration style as well (illustrated by Benjamin Dewey), but I didn't mind it much.

2.5 Stars.
Look. This series isn't great. It doesn't explore the characters more deeply than the show has time to, and it sure as hell doesn't expand upon the universe. These are comics for people who don't know what good comics can be. I don't know if the writers aren't allowed to exercise their creative liberties because Harmon and Roiland won't give these a glance or what, but if you like Rick and Morty, they'll at least satiate you until the next season.
Whenever the hell that might be.
This review differs vastly from my Vol 5 review I realize now, and the reason is that I at least believed that Starks was working towards something as he familiarized himself with these characters. Not the case now, I believe. His humor is assinine, his writing has the palatability of lead flavored gum, and even though he has lucid moments of brevity in his plots, they end up going ass up as soon as he can make a stupid joke.
I think I'm done with this series, at least until Starks is off the narrative.

As always, Rick and Morty comics are great to laugh, keeping the same spirit of the show, while we wait for more episodes. The insanity and hilarity is expressed this time with these stories:
- During a 'weed eater crisis' for Jerry, the US government seeks out Rick's assistance (citing the time he helped them with the big alien head) to help them stop an alien invasion. Helping Morty create a better science fair project than a volcano, 'science golem' Drippy Boy helps fight off alien on the mothership while Rick causes a annihilation chain reaction between their ships.
- Morty gets a date for the dance in a Martian Princess he and Rick recently rescued, but when Jessica's date cancels, giving Morty the opportunity to take his crush, Grandpa Rick helps him out by cloning Morty. Summer's date comes from "Buster Jiebens" (who is an alien replica of Justin Bieber, which they can't say for copyright reasons LOL), who ultimately ruins everyone's night when he turns into a spider and tries to mate with Summer.
- Morty finds a 'Hitler scanner' in the garage, which scans a person to see how close to a 'Hitler' they would be. He and Rick go out into the multiverse to allow Morty to murder the 'Hitlers', but when he gets out of control, he is made to stop by convincing him that the other Morty's in the multiverse will take care of it. In the last panel, we see that the entire multiverse of Mortys' relaxing, none of them continuing the 'Hitler-killing' work.
- On an alien world, Rick and Morty have to go on the run and hide because their spit is like acid to the native aliens. To kill time before they get caught, they fire up Inter-dimensional Cable, which is always hilarious
- When the owner of the horse hospital retires and gives it to his son, Beth has to do all she can to save it and keep it open. Despite all that hard work, she still comes home and is unappreciated as a mom
- The Shorts added to the end: 1) Post-apocalyptic Beth enjoys a respite for Mother's Day in VR. 2) Rick takes Jerry to meet Cthulhu when he gets paranoid about the world being controlled by aliens. 3) An argument over which Denzel Washington movie is the best gets Jerry into trouble with both Rick and aliens. and 4) Rick takes Morty to teach him a lesson about condoms by showing him two planets that explode when they make love.
I love this show and book.... Still laughing and I finished it a while ago. Always high recommend.

To the best of my knowledge most of the Rick and Morty volumes before this one had one slightly longer story line [one that would span multiple single issue strips] and then there would be a few short story/strip like adventures filling up the rest of the volume. This one, on the other hand is a series of smaller stories that were contained in each of their single issue comics. So while we do get more stories happening in this volume, for people that got used to having that long plot and then shorter plots after, might feel like the stories go by too fast or don't have the same level of substance. I disagree, I feel that they're very nicely self contained and have a decent flow to the plot and action.
I also love that CJ Cannon illustrated most of the issues in this volume, Cannon is one of my favorites, they're style is recognizable immediately. I know, you may be thinking, but Rick and Morty has such a simple art style, if everyone is trying to match that style and the color palette's rarely change, how do you tell one artist from the others? Well I'll admit I usually can't tell all of the illustrators apart when they're trying to match the shows style [as closely as possible], but I can always tell Cannon apart from the rest if they're in the lineup. They add such tiny nuances to the characters that set them apart from other comic illustrators; the eyes are more expressive, there's more lines that add strain to the face, there's more body language, and the characters use their hands more as they talk and react and it adds so much to the character and their emotions.
I love it, Cannon knows how to make even simple stylized characters emote and feel more rounded in such tiny ways but they make a world of difference if you pay attention to it.

After the superb previous volume, this one was a mixed bag. Many of the stories aren't particularly worthy of being called 'stories' so much as they are just vignettes or scattered episodic moments that aren't worked up to anything significant or distinctive RnM in quality, which gives this volume a rather haphazard, scrapbook-like feel. Interdimensional Cable III doesn't work in the same amusing way as the animated series, medium-wise (advertisements, after all, are meant for tv), and the jokes weren't especially funny. 'The HurRICKcane' in my opinion was just awful - a kidnap plot framing what was basically a fairly superficial film buff argument. There was no build up, no effective punchline. The good stories in Issue #29-30 (coyly toying with the philosophical questions of fascism and possibly murdering Hitler) seem to have better art, to my untrained eye, and compensated for the less impressive ones.

Ehhhh… I agree with a lot of the other reviewers on here that, ever since Kyle Starks took over writing this series, it just hasn’t been as strong. The plots never seem to flow very well, the tone’s not quite right, the jokes are very hit-or-miss, and for the most part all the characters just feel a little off.
This still had its good moments… fun sci-fi shenanigans, occasional moments where the characters did feel like themselves again, and some really cool art etc., but at the end of the day I don’t think anything can really top the series’ first couple volumes for me.

A pretty solid collection of Rick and Morty stories. This volume features shorter stories with more variety than previous volumes. The art is nice overall, but sometimes inconsistent and shoddy (EG check out page 10 versus 11). 'Interdimensional Cable III' seemed, sadly, rushed.
April 13, 2020
Unlike the past volumes (where they had one main storyline that lasted a few issues in the collection plus a couple of one-shots added on), this is instead just a collection of one-shots with no multi-issue plot or story arc. The likability of the one-shots varied for me so it's hard to judge the volume as a whole.
February 14, 2018
I love these graphic novels. They are just what I need to tide me over until the next season of Rick and Morty comes out. Rick and Morty go on different adventures than they do in the TV show so I would recommend not missing out on more Rick and Morty adventures. Rick and Morty FOREVER!

Ok, so I've seen this show a total of 7 times and I've loved it since I started watching. I had no idea there were comics and I'm so glad that I discovered this pure gold. It was just like watching an episode of the show.

This checks off much of what Rick and Morty fans would expect, Jerry's the worst jokes and juvenile humor. My sense of humor is gallows humor mixed with an 8 year old boy and I had a fun time reading this.

March 17, 2024This book in my opinion is the weakest out of all the past volumes, but I still think it is a good book. The bonus comics at the end were the best out of all the past volumes, so that makes up for it.

I am a bigger fan of a volume with an overarching plot arc, but this is always a good title to read. Hilarious.
