The hit comic book series based on Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s hilarious [adult swim]™ animated show RICK AND MORTY™ continues in its tenth volume featuring all-new stories not seen on TV!
In this volume, find five stories of Rick and Morty™ madness, like the time where Morty takes it too far, and Rick really needs to blow off some steam. Where better to do that then "RickWorld," where every Rick can live out his every fantasy?! Plus, an episode of Interdimensional Cable, interrupted in the weirdest way possible! Next up: Jerry's got a job, Morty's got a girlfriend, even Beth's happy! Something is terribly , terribly wrong, and Morty has to figure it out. And don't miss a very special issue where Rick and Morty experience their very own Groundhog Day!
Last but not least, celebrate #50 issues of the comic with a Morty's Mindblower's story, baby!!! Wubba lubba dub dub!
Featuring work by Eisner-nominated writer Kyle Starks (Sexcastle) and series artist Marc Ellerby in collaboration with all-star talent like Karla Pacheco, CJ Cannon (Rick and Morty Presents), Ian MacGinty (Adventure Time, Rocko's Modern Life), Sarah Stern (Zodiac Starforce), and many more of your favorite Rick and Morty™ creators!
Marc Ellerby is a cartoonist based in Essex, England. His comic book work includes the autobiographical diary comic Ellerbisms, the YA urban fantasy comedy Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter as well as illustrating licensed properties such as Rick and Morty, Doctor Who,and Regular Show.
This is one of the better volumes in quite a while, probably because it has several references to the TV show: Jerryboree, interdimensional cable, Morty's mind blowers, and Hemorrhage. Additionally, there are a couple humorous parodies of Michael Crichton's Westworld and Bill Murray's Groundhog Day.

Yeah, these just aren’t what they used to be. Talk about beating a dead Morty. Jeez. Clearly the writers here just reuse jokes from the series, just revisit the “good bits” from the series. No reinventing the wheel here. Yawn.
This was okay but for some reason the last few volumes of the comics haven't really been very memorable for me. I thought maybe I was just over the concept in general, but I just watched the new [half] season and liked that. It's not a bad volume by any means, I just feel like it's not as good as the earlier ones.
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.
These Volumes are always good for a laugh. Just when you think they will run out of ideas... Brief Summaries:
1) Rickworld/Mortyland - Becoming extremely annoyed with Morty, Rick takes them to an amusement park, designed to cater to Ricks while entertaining Mortys. At first it looks as if Rick has ordered an alcohol infused orgy session, but really he's ordered a "Morty Massacre". LOL
2) Interdimensional Cable - While watching shows, the screen goes to a pair of Xepthurions who jump out of the tv and begin to attack the family. They (like many invaders) want some of Rick's Time Travel stuff, but he refuses to give it to them, claiming he has backups of him and his whole family so there is nothing they can do to him. It's morbid and insane... but so very Rick,
3) Space Baby - A funny story about Morty gaining omnipotent cosmic abilities and using them to help their current situation, and getting a robot girlfriend.... but ultimately not bettering the life of the family overall. LOL
4) Ricktroactive - Sets up a Groundhog Day story. Hilarious, and handled exactly like I thought it would.
5) Morty's Mind Blowers - The 50th issue of the comic! They bring in many different artists and writers and keep the same format as the episode. I swear... I could watch Mind Blowers for hours. So unique.
Another solid story arc, with another collection of stories capturing the essence and voice of the show and characters.
Multiple in-jokes and topice references that continue to make this a must read for Rick and Morty fans and those who want humour in the graphic novels they read.
Continues to traverse genres including Rick's take on Groundhog Day.
This series is a must read for any Rick and Morty fan, and may be even more twisted, if that is possible. I can't wait for the next season and the next volume. Check it out.
loved the first half, then the second half got kind of drawn out, and it’s a redone concept from the show as well so second half brought the book down a star
This one was a bit of a disappointment. I thought the Morty's Mind-Blowers bit would never end, and for the first time ever, I did not enjoy the shorts at the end.
