A Rick and Morty spinoff inspired by the Pocket Mortys mobile app? Wubba lubba dub dub! In a dark corner of the multiverse, Mortys, Ricks, and even Jerrys abound. Yet not all alternate selves are created equal (just ask Ants-in-My-Eyes Morty); the belching, ever-enterprising Ricks and their elite squad, the Council of Ricks, rule the land. Hapless mutant Mortys, their subjects, are captured, chipped, and forced to fight. But thanks to a glitch in his manipulation chip, Morty ain Morty, that is lks free, and this stuttering, pubescent antihero will stop at nothing to free his kind. Maintaining continuity with the beloved Adult Swim cartoon, Howard's witty adaptation stretches pop-culture parodies to gleefully absurd extremes. Here, riffs on virtual creature-collection games, including Pokémon and Neko Atsume, erupt in insatiable bloodlust. And though each hulking, butt-faced, arm-headed Rick and Morty variation is zanier than the last, Ellerby and Farina's portrayals of wide-eyed Morty, slobber-mouthed Rick, and their feverish, futuristic realm remain altogether distinctive. A darkly funny, fantastically irreverent addition to the Rick and Morty-verse ab your portal guns and hop in.

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!
