than this book.I came in via 2 I was aware of Rick and Morty, of course, and have heard nothing but wonderful things, but have never actually watched it which, admittedly, put me at a slight disadvantage at the outset of the story I do, however, know me some DD and am a fan of both Rothfuss and Zub seemingly one of the nicest guys in comics , so I gave it a spin Over the first half of the book...I had high expectations and they were totally met on every level This was a blast overall Fun, extremely well done, well illustrated, and with the kind of heart twisting I expect from Rothfuss I m familiar enough with DnD that I got a lot of the references some still went right by me ...This is an odd one The very first half is typically crass and Rick Morty ish, but the second feels like Patrick Rothfuss took over complete control and penned a heartfelt love letter to the transformative power of DD Characters learn and grow even Rick which feels rather off brand...THIS WAS SO FUN.This was one of my first graphic novels, I ve read the first two compendiums of The Walking Dead but it s probably been 8 or 9 years since then I happened to see this while browsing through Barnes Noble and absolutely had to have it Not only do I love Rick and Morty but I also love Patrick Rothfuss even though weirdly I haven t read his books yet haha I think it s because I also follow him on Twitter

full sized removable poster And the cover is a shiny pretty gold and like, I just couldn t say no.In terms of Rick and Morty all of the character arcs were entirely on point and I loved it so much Rick was drunk and crazy as ever, plus there was a considerable amount of time he spent brooding and moping around and it was just too funny Morty was his laughable self and always foun...Warning If you haven t ever played DD or any other RPG game you probably won t enjoy this as you should, even if you re a Rick and Morty fan.The tropes of Rick and Morty are still there Morty needs to learn how

that got better as it went along Nice references to The Adventure Zone and many other gaming groups Rothfuss did a good job capturing the voices of the characters It was easy to hear them talk and

Interestingly, this book s four stories all standalone quite nicely, but together they make an arc which maybe Dan Harmon would ve approve of, but I enjoyed because it really underscores out that Rick

are all secretly much, much worse than...This was fun A short one, I believe Rothfuss and Zub would haveto say on this topic, but better short than dull Well, Morty needs to learn D D to pursue some love interest, so grandpa Rick comes in help Of course in his own egoistic and haughty way, dragging the whole family along to the adventure beyond imagination And that s fun And intense Maybe too
