As Rick sits in a void, tormented by infinity and regret, a familiar pang of nostalgia grips those who have followed his misadventures. Just as portals open and close unpredictably, fans brace themselves for yet another ride—a final return to the chaotic world of Rick and Morty. This time, though, it’s the last goodbye.
Why Are Comic Fans Saying Goodbye Again?
There’s something painfully bittersweet about endings, especially when they circle back like a warped galaxy. After a decade-long journey through multiverses and absurdity, Oni Press is concluding its comic series with an epic farewell titled Rick and Morty Forever. Slated for release on May 27, this oversized final issue packs a punch, with writing by Daniel Kibblesmith and artwork by Troy Little.
The series, which saw its first issue in 2015, has had its ebb and flow. From spin-offs to standalone adventures, it’s been a wild ride—but Oni Press assures us that this is no marketing gimmick. They’re genuinely sending Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith back to their cosmic origins with a flourish. And who doesn’t feel that familiar ache of loss when parting from beloved characters?
What Can Fans Expect from the Final Issue?
Curiosity buzzes as anticipation builds around this mega finale. On the cover, the vibrant wraparound design features a striking silver foil that hints at the chaos within. Written for fans who have grown alongside these characters, the narrative promises to explore existential themes that are both familiar and unsettling.
The press release tantalizes by asking, “How do you punish the smartest man in the universe?” It suggests a journey into the darkest corners of Rick’s psyche, where love competes with self-destruction. Can the bond between Rick and Morty withstand the weight of their shared experiences? In this vacuum of cosmic dread, will love triumph or dissolve into chaos?
Every Ending Opens a New Chapter
In life, as in storytelling, every conclusion introduces new beginnings. But fans are left to wonder: what will fill the void left by Rick and Morty? As we approach Forever, there’s one more chapter to wrap up in Rick and Morty: The End #5, arriving on April 8. Initially teased as a six-part saga, this will be the culmination of those efforts as it gracefully hands the baton to the grand finale.
As we count down to May, the shared experiences between Rick and Morty linger, shaping the legacy of their chaotic journey. But might this be a chance for new stories to emerge, or will the weight of nostalgia crowd the narrative landscape?

As we bid adieu to Rick and Morty in its comic form, I can’t help but ask: what will this final voyage teach us about the nature of endings and the relationships we hold dear? Are we ready to let go, or is this just another twist in the multiverse of storytelling?
