“I love the Rick and Morty™ cartoon,” said J. Torres. “The Vindicators episode was my favourite of the past season, and I love the superhero genre, so this send-up was a blast to write!”
“Long before Rick and Morty™ even aired, a friend of mine showed me Doc and Mharti. It’s been my jam ever since.” said CJ Cannon. “So I feel very fortunate to be able to work on the comics.”
