A special pre-order Kickstarter is underway for the 5-hardcover volume, 2000+ page, portal-hopping insanity-filled limited-edition collection of 100 iconic Omniversal adventures, including special 2-volume ‘Unreprintable Rick and Morty’ set.
Yes, 10 years of blockbuster comics and graphic novels inspired by the zany and hilarious Adult Swim animated hit, , are on the way in one “mind blowing” deluxe box set.To celebrate all things , Oni Press, in partnership with Warner Bros.
Discovery Global Consumer Products, has launched a pre-order Kickstarter to the 2,000+ page, portal hopping Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Deluxe Omnibus Library! We’re talking one enormous package of five oversized, hardcover omnibus volumes – each featuring spectacularly designed, exclusive slipcases and eye-popping acetate sleeves – that present the first 100 issues in complete chronological order.Take it from Oni Pres… this is “the most complete, most over-the-top ‘Rick and Morty’ reading experience ever attempted! “ The library showcases stories by some of the most talented writers and artists the Omniverse has to offer, including: James Asmus () C.J.Cannon () Delilah S.
Dawson () Marc Ellerby () Ryan Ferrier () Tony Fleecs () Tom Fowler () Zac Gorman () Sarah Graley () Tini Howard () Sam Maggs () Stephanie Phillips () Kyle Starks () Lilah Sturges () J.Torres () Josh Trujillo () Magdalene Visaggio () Each of the five massive hardcovers clocks in at 450+ pages, and comes packaged with a premium, foil-stamped slipcase featuring a fan-favorite cast member.Backers of the Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Deluxe Omnibus Library campaign can decide between gorgeously designed, limited-edition box sets in one of three, highly limited variant editions: A three-dimensional representation of Rick Sanchez’s infamous garage laboratory by creator Andrew MacLean All-new ‘family portrait” of the Smith clan and their most notorious Omniversal companions from award winning cartoonist Dean Rankine (, ) Or a brand-new, “infinite portal” jam piece colliding “Rick and Morty” artists Gina Allnat, Austin Baechle, Suzi Blake, Julieta Colas, Sam Grinberg, James Lloyd, and Jarrett Williams as they follow Rick and Morty endlessly jump through dimension after dimension! But wait, there’s more! No joke! “For the last decade, Oni Press has been publishing time-shattering, space-frolicking, insane comics based on Adult Swim’s seminal adult animated series by some of the best cartoonists working today,” said Oni Press Senior Editor Bess Pallares.
“To celebrate this historic occasion, we had no choice but to crank the volume even higher and do something even more outrageous, so we hired two seminal storytellers – writer Kyle Starks and artist Troy Little – to create an ‘Unreprintable Rick and Morty’ that will never again be re-printed.” This brand-new, 16-page “Unreprintable Rick and Morty” #1 marks the return to the Omniverse for the Eisner Award-nominated writer Kyle Starks (), who is writing his first new “Rick and Morty” story for a comic in five years.The story is illustrated by Eisner Award nominee and fellow “Rick and Morty” veteran Troy Little () and features an all-new cover by Little, printed on durable foil cover stock. “It’s pretty sick,” says Little.“It really is,” says Starks. “We should do another story,” says Little.
So they did.“Unreprintable Rick and Morty” #2 by Starks and Little is an exclusive, eight-page postscript to the first issue.“The second ‘Unreprintable’ issue exists in a quantum state of even more intense rarity because it’s strictly limited to just 500 copies,” explains Starks.
So, to summarize… all told, the Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Deluxe Omnibus Library campaign features a cornucopia of collectible exclusives, including a brand-new, never-before-seen variant cover for “Rick and Morty” (2015) #1 by artist Dave Bardin (), “Rick and Morty” blank variant remarques by Kyle Starks, an authentic “Rick and Morty” original art interior page by Marc Ellerby (), five super-sick “Rick and Morty’s Greatest Hits” trading cards (including a foil “Pickle Rick” card!), a heavy-duty 11x17” giclee art print by artist Tony Fleecs (), signature plates signed by Kyle Starks, all-new, hand-drawn remarques, and original artwork by Kyle Starks and Marc Ellerby … plus the “Unreprintable Rick and Morty” #1 and #2.
“WUBBA LUBBA DUB-DUB” indeed!
