Get Your Game On: Oni Press at GenCon 2018

Press Release

We're exhibiting at Gen Con 2018, where we will be selling limited quantities of a special early Gen Con sneak preview edition of Rick and Morty™ vs. Dungeons & Dragons #1 by writers Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicle) & Jim Zub (Wayward), and artist Troy Little, featuring an exclusive cover from artist Kory Bing. Writer Jim Zub (booth #1649) and cover artist Kory Bing (booth #2129) will be in attendance to support this most epic of crossovers between these two renowned licensed properties. Kory Bing will be signing at Oni Press booth #2655, on Friday and Saturday from 1-2pm.

Synopsis: When Morty needs to learn how to play D&D to keep up with the cool kids, his hard-drinking, old school-gaming, mad science-making grandpa is happy to teach him how to roll the dice, but neither of them is prepared for the saving throws they’re about to fail or the true quest yet to come. Strap on a +1 longsword and grab your 10-foot pole, because this is going to be a gaming gauntlet like no other!

In addition to Rick and Morty™ vs. Dungeons & Dragons, we will have an array of new releases from Oni Press as well as Oni Games including: Scott PilgrimThe Tea Dragon SocietyDead of Winter: Good Good Dog, Invader ZIM, and more! Don't miss additional signings with Dead of Winter comics team, writer Kyle Starks (Rick and Morty™, Kill Them All) and artist GABO (The Life After), will also be at the Oni booth throughout the weekend, with their titles also available for purchase.
