За что я люблю сериал про Рика и Морти:
- Продуманная вселенная (есть в комиксе)
- Смешные шутки (есть в комиксе)
- Развитие персонажей (нет в комиксе)
- Обыгрывание философских концепций (нет в комиксе)

Но, блин, я читал комикс, слышал голоса героев в озвучке Сыендука в голове и хохотал в голос. Разве этого мало? :)

Издание на русском не без косяков. Обложки решили вынести в конец, сшиты страницы не очень (у меня последний блок с обложками через день просто выпал из книги). Но мне пофиг, это был очень смешной комикс.

Rick and Morty, in comic form, continue their universe hopping adventures. This 300+ page covers the first bunch of stories in the Rick and Morty comics.

For anyone looking for more Rick and Morty, this is the best place to start. It is as close to the show as you can get without just watching the show. The writing is good, the stories are interesting and the artwork is great. It goes between longer stories across multiple issues and single issues stories that feel right at home in Rick and Morty. All the main members of the family appear, though Beth is the only one not to get any real time to shine.

While it is a good comic book and good continuation of the show, there is really no big moments like the show has because nothing in the comics can really effect the show. There are moments presented as bigger in the compendium, but nothing major that hits as deep as the show itself can. It is really just for someone looking for more Rick and Morty, rather than a jumping on point.

It's just Rick and Morty (particularly written in the style of season 4/5) but in comic form. There are a lot of interesting premises in there but a few are boring, typically the more wordy a writer is the more boring their comic is. I really like how they let them draw the characters in their own style rather than have it look strictly like the show (really liked Ryan Hill and Zac Gorman's style of drawing). CJ Cannon really does a good job of laying the foundation for the look of the comics, balancing giving the comics its own distinct look while also having it stay close to the show. Overall on par with the main show for quality (I'm someone who likes seasons 4 and 5 so take that as you will)

Perfect this was classic rick and morty, each story was genuinely funny and the artwork was great

A fun recreation of the show's humour, character and style of storytelling. I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend it to a fan of the show

[Nikhil Math]

This was really good. I read a Rick and Morty book before (Rick's New Hat) and I really disliked it. The story was confusing and I couldn't really read the comics the same way I would watch the show, but this book was very different. When I was reading all the comics in this compendium, I felt like I was reading the lines in the characters voices. If anyone is a fan of Rick and Morty and also enjoys comics, I would highly suggest on giving this a shot. I would recommend this book. I ended up staying up till 4:30am reading it.

Перш ніж писати враження, після якого мене закидають тряпками, розповім передісторію. Серіал мене колись сильно вразив: For the Damaged Coda стояла на повторі, а деякі епізоди обговорювалися годинами. Тому, коли мені подарували перший том повного зібрання коміксів, крику було на весь район. Та прочитати його вдалося тільки нещодавно. Він кочував із рук у руки, встиг побувати в Лондоні й нарешті на декілька днів затримався вдома.

Мені не сподобалося. Що з ним не так, писала тут — https://t.me/nerdgasm/109

Tremendous writing just like the show.

[Nicholas Haney · Rating 1 out of 5]

The writing on this series is absolutely horrible. It just seems like the laziest scenarios with no attempt at any world building. Did the writer even care to try? Or was he trying to show his disdain for the original concept of the show? I’ll never know, but what I do know for sure is that I will not be reading any further into this series. I would’ve given it a 0/5 stars, but that’s unfortunately impossible with the Goodreads system.

Хоть до этого никогда не читал комиксов, но сборник понравился. Легкое чтиво. Иногда персонажи ведут себя в точности так, как они бы вели себя в сериале. Бывают очень удачные шутки. Некоторые комиксы не вызывали никаких чувств, но, повторюсь, с большего сборник понравился.

Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. We're all going to die. Come watch TV. And read comics. Especially this one.

к середине где-то устал. картинки красивые, истории занятные, но не так чтобы вот. хороший подарок для фаната сериала.

Очень в духе оригинала, на уровне отдельных серий. Приятно удивлён.
