URGENT UPDATE: The beloved Rick and Morty comic series is officially concluding, with the final issue titled Rick and Morty Forever set to hit shelves on May 27, 2024. This announcement comes as fans eagerly await the return of the hit animated show for its ninth season on Adult Swim.
After a decade of interdimensional adventures, Oni Press confirms that this will be the definitive farewell to Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.

The narrative promises a deep existential journey, detailing Rick’s cosmic torment as he confronts the ultimate question of love and sacrifice for his grandson, Morty.
“This is a fate that awaits not just Rick, but also Morty, who has stood by him through thick and thin. Can Rick save Morty from a harrowing destiny?” an Oni Press release states, emphasizing the emotional stakes involved.
Before the grand finale, fans can look forward to the penultimate issue, Rick and Morty: The End #5, which releases on April 8, 2024. This issue will mark the conclusion of the ongoing story arc, setting the stage for the final send-off in Rick and Morty Forever.
With the end of this iconic comic series, the world of Rick and Morty continues to evolve.
