Media Release -- Rick's old drinking buddy has been dethroned and imprisoned by the new queen that Rick told him not to marry. Rick takes Morty on a mission to restore his buddy's throne, supposedly because Morty's such a great travel companion. Of course, Rick doesn't tell Morty that the aliens on this planet are very germ-phobic and he's inoculated Morty with dozens of infectious diseases to sneak by them. It's not like Morty's going to DIE or anything... probably.

Praise for RICK AND MORTY:
10 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "Writer Kyle Starks, along with a bleakly hilarious back-up story from Marc Ellerby, goes full-tilt crazy with this first part of this ongoing story, delivering consistently rising action and bitingly funny dialogue all while keeping to the show's format of grounding the science fiction with real world emotion. [...] Packed with laughs and sharp one-liners, Rick and Morty #16 makes a strong case for being the best comedy title on shelves this week." Newsarama, "Best Shots Rapid-Fire Reviews"
10 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "This is pretty perfect for Rick and Morty fans and non fans alike. The funniest entertainment you'll find all week and probably all month. It's like a lost episode of Rick and Morty that only requires you do the voices in your head." AIPT!
"After reading this issue, I'll be adding this series to my pull list because it's as delightfully disturbing and demented as the show." SciFi Pulse
