i liked it.
So I've read volumes 1 - 6 plus the one set in a pocket dimension and I plan on finishing them in case they improve or some piece of vital R&M lore is brought to light. In the mean time I will simply copy and paste this review for all the books. The truth is that these books aren't written nearly as well as the tv show. The prime example is story about Jerry from doofus Rick's universe (I think in volume 4). This Jerry is hyper competent, even to the point of being able to beat C-137 Rick, but t...
In the main story arc Jerry hangs out with Doofus Rick and runs into that dimension's Jerry and almost destroys all of the dimensions. Then space ghosts on the spaceship Mr. Mistoffelees ("it was 1981, everyone was obsessed with Cats"), a Tiny Rick Adventure that gets pretty violent, and some fun shorts.
Jerry heavy, but more on the council of Ricks, overall the main story was a lot of fun.The 2 side stories with the ghosts/Morty and Tiny Rick were also fun. The writers do a great job making it just like the tv show.
There's only one issue of Tiny Rick here, as it happens – but I suppose as with Pickle Rick, the alternate version does seem to be especially popular with some of the worst of the show's fans (the sort who are almost certainly big Funko Pop collectors), so you can see why they made the branding decision with the collection. Mercifully, most of the stories here take the franchise a lot less seriously than those guys seem to. There's an Event Horizon riff which has some lovely moments, even if it
-> 2.5 Probably my least favorite for now. Jerry is just moping around and causing trouble again. It's really painful to see that. Also, the last issue has a different art style and I didn't really like it.
In comparison to previous volumes this one was heavily packed with some great stories. Even the short ones were pretty good and in sync with the series.It's was one crazy ride though, I mean who could have guessed that there would be a Jerry out there who could go around outsmarting Ricks for that long!!!
Loved this vol dofus Rick's Jerry is a freaking beast in this one and makes a great villain
I see everyone giving these last volumes so much praise and I just don't get it, because ever since Zac Gorman stopped writing the series, the characters no longer feel in sync with the original tv show, they play like parodies of themselves, the status of their relationships are totally off and the sci-fi shenanigans are just uninspired.I still have fun reading these though, for now.
more than any of the other collected volumes of the comic, Rick and Morty Vol. 5 moves away from the episodic storytelling of the show and embraces a larger arc. It's a good move, because it allows developments that don't really happen on the show and (as noted in every other R&M comics review I've done here) the comic can't really compete with the show on its own merits because it lacks the performative aspect and voice acting that is necessary for the success of these characters. here we find
Don't get fooled by the cover, it's not a whole volume full of tiny rick adventures, although tiny Rick is part of the shorter stories after the large story segment [ie the opening plot that spans 3? regular single issues]"A tale of 2 Jerries". If you have a problem with Jerry you'll have a bigger one after this.
Dofus Jerry was a fun story arc. His story also had some really great dialogue moments. It was also great to see another adventure involved with the citadel again.The other stories, however, were a bit of a downgrade in my opinion, but overall this was a fine volume.
And still more high-jinks with Rick and Morty. It's almost like a warped and twisted version of Doctor Who. But then everyone already knew that didn't they?
If you are tired of waiting for new episodes of Rick and Morty, you should be reading this comic!Jerry, after being emasculated by his own family yet again, heads off to visit his friend Doofus Rick. While out having a great time, they are seen by Doofus Jerry, who in the 'Doofus-verse', is actually suave, intelligent, and conniving. As seen many times in a R&M story, the powerful Jerry switches places with our Jerry, where he proceeds to take charge of the family, physically beating down Rick.
The Doofus Jerry arc was excellent. It was, in my opinion, one of the best stories in the series in terms of its narrative structure and the way it explores the relationship dynamics between characters and the story potential of the 'Doofus'-dimension. Doofus Rick is growing on me; his friendship with Jerry are comparative minor episodes but contributes light-hearted, innocently happy moments to an otherwise pessimistic series, and I always look forward to seeing them.
Really fun, definitely recommend to Rick and Morty fans! Nothing life changing which is why I’m giving it 3 stars (3.5 really) but thoroughly enjoyable and I’ll definitely be getting more in this series!
I got to meet Kyle Starks at C2E2 a few weeks ago via a brief albeit very nice few minutes in which I perused his booth just before he had to leave. Despite needing to leave and needing an insulin shot he still stopped long enough to sketch and autograph both this and volume 6 of the Rick and Morty comics. Afterward I decided (with some help from simply enjoying these books so much) that I must seek out his original works as well.While admittedly not a fan of his illustrations I do feel that Sta...
Not quite as good as Volumes 1, 2 and 4 (let's pretend 3 doesn't exist), but still plenty of fun, although of a less intelligent sort than the show.
Ah, Rick and Morty. This is a classic volume of Rick and Morty humor. We see Mr. Meeseeks again and Tiny Rick. The majority of the volume, however, deals again with Doofus Rick dimension and what the Jerry looks and acts like from that dimension.
I'm impressed at how well this comic manages to maintain the overall tone of the show. That's something I don't often see when a story tries to transition into a different medium....
