Rick and Morty: The End #4 Cover Preview

 

COVER A BY DAVE BARDIN

 

What does it mean to live a meaningful life? Mister Meeseeks thought he knew. Then he killed Rick Sanchez and discovered that was just the beginning of an entirely different life. Now, he's back, and perhaps even more so than Planetina, Mister Meeseeks wants Rick Sanchez dead. (Yes, again!) 

Despite helping the Vindicators track Rick down, Morty's ex-girlfriend seems happy to see him face the death penalty alongside his grandfather. Will the Council of the Universes that matter try the two universe-hopping adventurers for attempted realicide? Or might the duo accept a plea deal involving community service?

COVER A BY TROY LITTLE

It's easy to lose yourself in grief. When Nana died, Lamb lost the joy of living. So instead, Lamb focused on cleansing the world of the Old Faith's evil influence. But while Lamb fought in Anura, Heket, the Bishop of Famine, brought blight to the cult's plants. When hunger led to dissension, Heket helped Amdusias win over Lamb's followers with food. 

Heket is dead now. Only Kallanar, the bishop of Pestilence, and Shamura, the bishop of war, remain. But can Lamb take care of their dwindling followers? And bolstered by a growing flock, what terrible acts will Amdusias perpetrate next?

Rick and Morty: The End #3 Review

 

Writer: Daniel Kibblesmith

Artist: Jarrett Williams

Colorist: Alessandro Santoro

Letterer: Crank!

Cover Artists: Dave Bardin, Troy Little, Phil Murphy, and Tom Fowler with Nick Filardi

Publisher: Oni Press

Price: $4.99

Release Date: February 4, 2026

 

The Parmesan Universe wants to erase Morty Smith from existence in every universe. But even though Parmesan thinks he's worse than a million, billion Hitlers, she is willing to pardon Morty if he brings Rick Sanchez to stand trial before the Council of the Universes that Matter.

 

When Morty wondered how to find his grandfather, Parmesan suggested the teen think like Rick Sanchez. But Morty knows that thinking like Rick can turn you into someone who threatens to destroy all of existence because you’re mad at one person. Despite their differences, can Morty turn in his grandfather? Or will he go along with Rick’s latest scheme? Let’s leap into Rick and Morty: The End #3 and see!

 

Story

When Parmesan sent Morty after Rick, she also sent the Vindicators to ensure he followed through. After Planetina and her crew rescued Morty from the Ball Fondlers, Sleepy Gary transported them to a comfortable universe Rick created. In his Fan Fiction world, Rick basked in belonging, and his fake family didn’t include Morty. The Vindicators gave Morty the chance to apprehend his grandfather. But Rick Sanchez was never going to come quietly.

 

In Rick and Morty: The End #3, the Vindicators attack the teen and his grandfather again. This time, there’s no fictional family to get in the way. While Morty voices his confusion over where he belongs, Planetina reminds him of why he stopped dating her. Yet appearances are deceiving. As one character engages in soul searching, another acknowledges the wisdom of accepting things as they are.

 

As Daniel Kibblesmith explores the dilemma of dysfunctional relationships, he also ponders what makes life worth living. The Parmesan Universe tasks the Vindicators with one goal. But will killing Rick Sanchez bring them happiness? Old Man Meeseeks is laden with unfulfilled expectations. He has let everyone down by failing to fulfill his life's purpose. The Vindicator is supposed to die once he triumphs. But in Rick and Morty: The End #3, Old Man Meeseeks wonders if he could exceed his society's expectations and make a life for himself on his terms.  

 

Art

A splash page and 3-4 panels per page welcome readers to the fast and furious fight. Jarrett Williams introduces more panels to the layout as Old Man Meeseeks undergoes an inward battle. After the clash among the sundrenched hoodoos, disparate locales and situations reveal the variety of choices awaiting someone not focused on a singular purpose.

 

Alessandro Santoro enlivens the vivid settings, appealing characters, and the fighting with a loaded palette in Rick and Morty: The End #3. Among the bright and cheery hues, blue links Old Man Meeseeks with his team, his hunt for answers, and a circular control room. Green also forms a theme as it links Planetina with her monitors and her troubled partner's longing for greater meaning in life. Yet yellow and orange remind Morty why he severed his relationship with Planetina, as she transforms into a Phoenix and turns her criminals into compost.

 

Crank fills white dialogue balloons and colored narrative boxes with uppercase dialogue that grows bold for intonation and enlarges for raised voices. Green block letters introduce the chapter. Sound effects enhance scenes of death and destruction, and warn of imminent future conflict. Thanks to Oni Press and Superfan Promotions for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Morty loves Planetina, but he can’t be with her because she incinerates her foes. He loves his grandfather, but Rick racks up a higher body count than his ecowarrior ex-girlfriend. After creating a world without Morty and trying to get his grandson to see the similarities between them, Rick acknowledges Morty's concerns. But the two would rather play video games than discuss their relationship in Rick and Morty: The End #3.

 

Rating 9.8/10

His former girlfriend gave Morty his arm back. She gave him a cool new jacket. But becoming a Vindicator doesn't mean Morty wants to kill his grandfather. Can he convince Planetina and her team to take it easy on Rick Sanchez? Or will Rick find a way to fight off the vengeful Vindicators?

Sometimes, we can get so caught up in pursuing what's important to us that we forget about the needs of those around us. Lamb was responsible for the flock. Instead, Lamb focused on a holy war, and left them to fend for themselves. Lacking their visionary leader, the people fell beneath the spell of another. And unlike Lamb, Amdusias didn't give sanctuary to those who defied him. Will Lamb unleash vengeance on Amdusias? Or will Lamb discover a better way forward for everyone?
