This is a trade paperback that collects together what were originally published as five separate issues. I already reviewed volume one, and titled that review "The B-list Rick and Morty". To cut to the chase, the first four issues included in this, the second volume, do nothing to change that opinion. In both volumes what we get is pretty well exactly what you'd expect for the comic book version of a hit animated TV show.So for those four issues, what I said for volume one applies again unchanged: This is an entertaining piece of work. It made me laugh. It is in no way bad. Volume one was good enough to persuade me that I wanted to buy volume two, after all, and this is more of the same. My only caveat is that - as with volume one - it doesn't quite have the depth, the smarts, or all the layers of meaning we get in the animated original. And when the writer does try to put in those deeper layers of meaning, to be honest it just feels like he's painting by numbers.Now the fifth issue, which properly speaking is issue ten overall...The first thing you'll notice is the art. It's just a little "off model". All preceding issues stick religiously to cannon. This one doesn't. It's just a little looser, with a lot more line-work in the shadows. But the second thing that strikes you is the writing. Zac Gorman, who has been doing the writing on all the issues, and who actually drew this particular issue as well, seems finally to have found his footing in the Rick and Morty universe. I still wouldn't say this issue is quite up to the standard of the TV show at its absolute best. Again, there are layers of meaning that don't quite make it all the way from the TV screen onto the comic book page. But it is every bit as good as at least some of the episodes produced for television. So a definite step up.I'll genuinely be interested to see what volume three brings.Theo.
I love Rick and Morty! The writing in this is great, and I feel like I can hear the characters in my head, which may mean that I have a problem. This is a great way to tide yourself over until the new season debuts.
Very suspenseful, I couldn't put it down Very kool writing and funny it had its moments. This definitely would have been way better as an episode the battle scenes would have been epic. (Not as funny as Vol 1 but way more suspenseful deep thinking writing similar to the season finally of season 1)
Takes 2 hours to read but fun!The first comic isn't that great and doesn't even have Rick and Morty in it. But the rest is funny stories tied together by a plot. Each story stands on its own but does go in order I recommend the first volume over the second though. Read for other suggestions read invader zim or scud disposable assassin 700 pages for 20$!
Captures the voice of the show. A good holdover while you wait for the next season. I'll buy volume 3.
Rick and Morty is the best show currently on television and it's no surprise that it's comic is so good either. Every issue and every new plotline is just as good as the show, if not better.
We purchased both volume 1 & volume 2 for our grandson for his birthday . Items arrived within time table and as detailed by seller. Happy with purchase and so is our grandson.
This volume is better than the first with the cover section in particular worth a read, but outside of that it's still not nearly as entertaining as the show.
