Rick and Morty: Oni-Press Announces Cthulhu Centered Mini-Series

Get it here.

The Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Adult Swim, announces the release of a new Rick and Morty™ miniseries, Rick and Morty™ vs. Cthulhu Part 1: The Whisperer in the Dorkness, available December 7, 2022. This first installment of the four-part miniseries journeys down the Lovecraft rabbit hole, reuniting the Eisner-nominated creative team from Rick and Morty™ vs. Dungeons and Dragons—writer Jim Zub, illustrator Troy Little, colorist Leonardo Ito, and letterer Crank!. Rick and Morty™ vs. Cthulhu Part 1: The Whisperer in the Dorkness will feature cover art from Troy Little, with five variants from Zander Cannon (Kaijumax, Heck), Marc Ellerby (Rick and Morty™, Dr. Who), Jim Zub, Julieta Colás (Rick and Morty™, Invader Zim), and Ryan Lee (Archer & Armstrong, Rick and Morty™). Rick and Morty vs. Cthulhu will be available at comic book retailers everywhere and online. 

Fans of Rick and Morty™ have spent the past few years speculating on the almost-century-old cosmic villain as all episode’s opening credits feature a quick glimpse of Cthulhu, and more recently “Baby Cthulhu,” in the closing credits.

Official Description: What could be worse than an off-planet sugar deal gone wrong? Tripping through a Lovecraftian hellscape with the Smith family as they fight, uh, cosmic sentient color and racist fish-people? That can’t be right… 

Welcome to the Rick Sanchez School of Actually Getting S**t Done! And that poor bastard Jerry declares “everything smells like cinnamon and sorrow’” in this Lovecraftian epic.
