Rick and Morty: Pocket Like You Stole It

by Tini Howard, Marc Ellerby (Illustrator), Katy Farina (Illustrator)

Overview

Rick and Morty™: Pocket Like You Stole It is the fan-favorite comic book miniseries based on the popular Adult Swim™ television series and inspired by the Pocket Mortys mobile game.

Morty is on a quest to free himself (and all the other Mortys) from the clutches of Ricks, who collect Mortys and force them to battle one another for schmeckles and glory. Along the way, he’ll discover the grisly history of Morty battling, the dastardly lengths that Ricks are willing to stoop to in order to win, and perhaps... the strength in himself that’s needed to free the Mortys once and for all!

Editorial Reviews

"Pocket It Like You Stole It is an enjoyable addition to Oni's growing Rick and Morty library. This first issue captures the look, feel and general sense of humor of the show while also offering a different perspective on the mobile gaming source material."

IGN

"One great thing about the Rick and Morty comics is that the laughs are never dumbed-down for readers. The jokes in Pocket Like You Stole It are just as funny as the ones in the television series, and at times more-so. The interactions also feel genuine and right out of the show. Howard does a fantastic job at this and beautifully conveys the characters for who they are."

Geek.com

"Oni Press’ Rick & Morty comics have done an excellent job matching the irreverent, I-can’t-believe-they-went-there humor of the Adult Swim sensation, including the series’ smart pop-culture parodies."

Paste Magazine

"So does a comic based on a TV show’s mobile game actually work? Yes, yes it does."
