Oni Press release below:
PORTLAND, OR., Dec. 10, 2018—The renowned one-shot quarterly series, Rick and Morty™ Presents is back for a second volume, with four new, oversized single issues on the horizon including Jerry, Mr. Meeseeks, The Flesh Curtains, and Unity. The comic series tells four standalone stories, each focused on a different Rick and Morty™ character from the critically-acclaimed Adult Swim show that follows sociopathic genius scientist, Rick Sanchez, who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe.
“I love this PRESENTS format, because it allows the stellar creative teams to explore well-known characters like Jerry, or Mr. Meeseeks, in completely surprising ways!” said Sarah Gaydos, Oni Press’s Editorial Director of Licensed Publishing. “But it also allows us to dive into quirky, fan-favorite characters like Unity (Rick’s ex!) or Rick’s band, The Flesh Curtains (starring Rick, Squanchy, and BirdPerson). I can’t wait for readers to see what this incredible roster of talent has in store for them.”

Rick and Morty™ Presents: Unity #1
(W) Tini Howard, (A) CJ Cannon, (C) Joshua Perez, (CA) A: CJ Cannon and Joshua Perez, B: Sina Grace
It takes a special kind of madness to capture and imprison Rick Sanchez — the kind of madness only an ex can deliver. Unity wants to make a play to take over the galaxy, and she’ll need the best (and worst) of her exes in her clutches to do it. And Rick wants his Party Naked t-shirt back, she stole it when they broke up.
The first issue of the second series of Rick and Morty™ Presents is scheduled for release March 13, 2019, with the subsequent issues releasing in June, September, and November.
