Rick and Morty Compendium Vol. 5 (5)

Love versus ego. Math versus science. Ancient gods versus technocratic dweebs. It’s the saga to slay all other sagas. It’s . . . the Space Shake Saga! Hold on to your plumbuses!

Dive a**-first into a world where Mr. Goldenfold, not Rick Sanchez, is the supreme universal intelligence, where ancient gods threaten our very existence, and where rich technocrats try to impose their will on the world (LOL, can you imagine?). It’s up to Rick and Morty, yet again, to put their lives on the line in order to protect the universe and maybe, just maybe, get that perfect milkshake.

Written by Alex Firer (Rick and Morty: Rick’s New Hat) and illustrated by Fred C. Stresing (Rick and Morty: Meeseeks, P.I.) and Marc Ellerby (Rick and Morty: Ricklemania), Rick and Morty Compendium Vol. 5 collects all twelve sick issues of Oni Press’ time- and space-frolicking Rick and Morty revamp. Featuring a special backup by writer Rafer Roberts and illustrator Suzi Blake, this is more Rick and Morty than you’ll ever need—but you’ll be glad you have!

Alex Firer's only skill is watching cartoons so thank goodness he got to do this book celebrating one of them. He's an LA-based writer whose comics credits include Diablo for Blizzard and a lot of Rick and Morty. Too much some may say. Not him though. He'll keep working in the Morty mines. Shoveling burps for Rick. Anyway other credits include McSweeneys and The Onion and uhh I don't know. He used to professionally pretend to be a robot and had to go to the Super Bowl. Is that anything?
