Well that didn't take as long as I thought it would to read. But it was swifty. I loved it. It definitely helps watching the television series first to see how the characters interact with each other and how they speak, Rick in particular with his burping. But it was still great. I loved the bonus shorts at the end, especially 'Rick and Morty in: Adventure to an Alternative Universe!' their faces at the end though :')

Most TV to comic adaptations suck. This one is not so bad and I could see the writers getting better as this title goes on.
What really helps this comic is the conceit of "infinite timelines" that Rick and Morty have. As a result, the comics can focus on a Rick and Morty from another dimension and not have to worry about their stories clashing with "canon" of the TV series or any developments that occur their. This frees up the writers and the readers equally, since we do not have to wonder where any of this would occur within the framework of the show.

Sooo, this was just uberconfusing.
I heard about the comic through Ellerby's twitter, and was interested in it. Until then I never heard of Rick and Morty. Yes, magical, considering most people seem to know it. Maybe it has to do with the fact it doesn't air here on TV.
But I still decided to read it, and I was really confused. Still it was quite good, but I had no clue what was going on 90% of the book. Maybe I will see if I can find the tv show somewhere (hopefully that is less confusing).

All the goodness of an animated plot. You almost feel like these were the adventures they turned down for episode plots!
