Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group have collaborated with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Adult Swim to carry us a brand new Rick and Morty comedian miniseries lastly taking up Cthulhu. Rick and Morty vs Cthulhu Part 1: The Whisperer within the Dorkness might be accessible on December 7 and might be reuniting the inventive staff from Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons. Writer Jim Zub, illustrator Troy Little, colorist Leonardo Ito, and letterer Crank! will staff as much as reply fan questions and speculations about why Cthulhu is in all of the episode’s opening credit and extra just lately “Baby Cthulhu” within the closing credit. Zub talks about he collection, saying:
Lovecraft horror has caught round for many years as a result of it asks necessary questions like ‘Does humanity matter within the face of an unfeeling unknowable universe?’… …Rick and Morty ask equally pertinent questions on ourselves, our existence, and the jerks who create our popular culture, so I figured it was time to peanut butter that chocolate and take a giant chew.
I had by no means thought concerning the similarities between Lovecraftian horror and Rick and Morty, nevertheless it does make a specific amount of sense. Here is the official description of the miniseries:
What may very well be worse than an off-planet sugar deal gone flawed? Tripping via a Lovecraftian hellscape with the Smith household as they struggle, uh, cosmic sentient colour and racist fish-people? That cannot be proper…
Welcome to the Rick Sanchez School of Actually Getting S**t Done! And that poor bastard Jerry declares “everything smells like cinnamon and sorrow’” on this Lovecraftian epic.
It all feels like a match made in heaven for Rick and Morty followers. Enjoy the quilt artwork by Little and 5 variant covers by Zander Cannon, Marc Ellerby, Zub, Julieta Colás, and Ryan Lee.
