A reboot of the ongoing series.
I gotta admit I was a little confused by what was going on. The plot was muddled and overloaded.
And it has a flaw that tends to creep into a few of the tv episodes. Too many callbacks and cameos to prior characters and stories.
I kinda just wanted them to tell a story, without needing to go back and re-read a prior volume to figure out who the fuck some of these people are.
And a Boo to having an Elon Musk parody. Even if he's the villain, it's still unoriginal.

Just minor nitpicks though. I will buy Part Two when it comes out.

Quite silly and ridiculous. Morty has a chance at a friendship but the universe gets in the way. Math vs. Science even though there isn't that much difference between the two. One can't really work well without the other.

Rick and Morty vol. 1

First time reading a Rick and Morty comic book. I enjoy the show, but a comic book version. It's ok. I like it.
