Senior Editor Bess Pallares shared an official statement for ‘Rick and Morty: The Manga‘, stating, “Rick and Morty have always skewered and elevated pop culture tropes through an irreverent lens, and Get in the Robot, Morty! takes on the beloved genre of mech-fighting manga with that characteristic sardonic flair. Fans of adult animation who’ve followed from Toonami’s Midnight Run to Adult Swim’s ‘Rick and Morty’ are going to find characters, humour, heart and of course bloody, outrageous battles they know and love in these pages. If anyone could make Gendo Ikari look like a reasonable parent, it’s Rick Sanchez.”
