RICK AND MORTY FOREVER #0 (ONE-SHOT)Written by DANIEL KIBBLESMITHArt by TROY LITTLEWraparound Foil Cover by TROY LITTLETHIS IS IT—THE FINAL END OF RICK AND MORTY! In one last shamelessly transparent promotional stunt, Oni Press, unsatisfied with the end of The End, proudly presents Rick and Morty Forever . . . the final issue of Oni Press’ immortal run on the sci-fi, dimension-hopping, foul-mouthed, pretentiously beautiful, intellectual temper tantrum turned cultural phenomenon known as Rick and Morty from nigh-omnipotent writer Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki) and franchise über-veteran Troy Little (Cult of the Lamb)!How do you punish the smartest man in the universe? Show him everything—everything—he’s ever wanted to know or see . . . and afford him no power to do anything about it. Rick Sanchez, the destroyer of worlds. Now he sits in endless observation of all there is to see, tortured by cosmic impotence, the ultimate expression of “go to your room and think about what you did.”But in his endless torment, Rick realizes that a fate of unspeakable horror also awaits his unwitting companion: his grandson, Morty. Can Rick save the soul of the only being that ever stood by him through all his indiscretions? Can the transformative power of love give rise to the triumph of the human spirit? Or is everything just #@$%@?$8.99 | 40 PGS. | FULL COLOR | ON SALE MAY 27, 2026
