ORIGIN STORY

Now this comic was so explosive! I couldn’t put it down! The origin story of Rick going to fight the war of the Galaxy.! So many little spoofs to the show, & very informative. The only thing now that I want to learn is a little bit more about his relationship with Diane, Beth’s Mom. This Pre-Morty issue definitely ties in a lot like with him being a genius. In addition, from the comics I’m learning that Rick is always fighting another Rick. So maybe the overall theme is that’s in real life, nothing matters, you’re always going to be fighting for a better version of you? Just a thought.

Silly fun. Comic adaptations of TV shows can be hit-or-miss, but if you like the show, give the comics a try. I liked this one and hope it gets a continuation. tl;dr this is a R&M take on Star Wars: A New Hope.

When you end with a teaser tagline about the uncertainty of the story ever being finished, that's not humorous or clever, just dickish.
