RICK AND MORTY KINGDOM BALLS (2023)

RICK SANCHEZ . . . IN LOVE?! LET'S (NOT) GET TOGETHER IN AN ALL-NEW, DIMENSION-HOPPING JOYRIDE FROM CO-WRITERS JOSH TRUJILLO (Blue Beetle) AND RYAN LITTLE (Disney+'s What If?) AND ARTIST JARRETT WILLIAMS (Super Pro K.O.)! Rick receives a distress signal from his college sweetheart, who was kidnapped by interdimensional villains obsessed with collecting the fabled Dream Balls. Rick, Morty, and Jerry set out to recover the mysterious Dream Balls and harness their power to save his former paramore.

Rick Sanchez vs. Everything! Rick, Morty, and Jerry continue their hunt for the Dream Balls through worlds of conflict-not cool conflict, like, narrative conflict. To stabilize the essence of these literary landscapes, Rick must embrace the way of the Ball Blader-a life he abandoned years ago when he lost his beloved sidepiece, Lucas, to the nefarious Casteratis.

Rick and Morty's weird descent into the murky worlds of narrative conflict just got even weirder . . . The tenuous narrative realities Rick, Morty, and Jerry have been jumping through in pursuit of the Dream Balls are unraveling as they disturb the delicate balance of conflicts that were already teetering in the nuanced and bloated modern era of storytelling. Rick is so close to rescuing his former flame Julio from the mysterious Casterati, if they can just find the final remaining Dream Ball . . . back in their own world.

The finale in the universe-spanning epic quest from writers Josh Trujillo (Blue Beetle Graduation Day) and Ryan Little (Marvel's What If?) and illustrator Jarrett Williams (Super Pro K.O.!) Rick, Morty, and Jerry's search for the Dream Balls and their mission to save Rick's old boyfriend has brought them to the greatest narrative conflict of all. The nefarious Casteratis, society, nature, technology-none of these can pose a greater risk to Rick Sanchez . . . than Rick himself.
