Oni Press, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, proudly invites everyone to experience the cataclysmic fallout of RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE firsthand in the first of three tie-in specials from a rotating cast of iconoclastic talents in RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE: SUMMER OF LOVE #1 – coming to comic shops everywhere on August 6th!
Bridging the gap between July’s RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE #1 and August’s RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE #2, event maestro Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki) joins Eisner Award nominee Jody Houser (Stranger Things, Star Wars) and explosive artist Phil Murphy (Star Trek vs. Transformers) to deliver a dazzling detour into the heart of cosmic sisterhood—complete with destruction, violence, bad decisions, and truly distasteful bachelorette party favors!
WELCOME TO THE FIRST RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE TIE-IN EXTRAVAGANZA! Summer rockets into a Smith family crisis with cosmic implications! Rick and Morty are doing their bachelor party thing with Prime Universe, so Summer decides to throw her own bachelorette shindig for Parmesan! No naughty gummies or pennysaver strippers here—Summer will throw a bachelorette party to remember, complete with debauchery, violence, and destruction! Hey, this will end well! (News flash: It won’t.)
“Kibblesmith and company have expanded the multi-dimensional madness of Rick and Morty to epic proportions, thrusting everyone in Rick Sanchez’s orbit into a state of unbridled chaos!” said editor Matt Dryer. “This series is simultaneously one of the greatest Rick and Morty stories to date, and a love letter to the classic comics event series that shaped and destroyed universes and imaginations!”
Tying directly into the events of RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE – the FIRST-EVER Rick and Morty comic book event from cosmos-colliding creators Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki) and Jarrett Williams (Speed Force) – RICK AND MORTY VS. THE UNIVERSE: SUMMER OF LOVE #1 is the first of the three TOP SECRET TIE-IN SPECIALS co-piloted by Kibblesmith and a stunning array of surprise guest talents.
