Rick and Morty’s Long-Running Comic Series Is Coming to a Close

If you’re a die-hard fan of Rick and Morty, get ready: the comic book extension of the multiverse-mayhem that follows our favorite mad scientist and his perpetually bewildered grandson is reaching its dramatic conclusion. After over a decade of wild alternate realities, crazy gadgets, and “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” moments, the long-running series is finally gearing up for its send-off.

A Decade of Cosmic Chaos

The comic series published by Oni Press began in 2015 and quickly became an essential companion to the show’s anarchic adventures. The first run ended with issue #60 in March 2020, under the arc titled “The Rickoning”. In that final issue, readers discovered that the Rick and Morty we followed weren’t even the “main” versions we thought—but rather alternate-dimensional stand-ins, turning the narrative on its head. What followed were new spin-offs, mini-series, and limited runs, but the core ongoing saga began its exit.

The End Is Truly Nigh: “Rick and Morty: The End”

In September 2025, Oni Press officially announced the next phase: a six-issue mini-series titled “Rick and Morty: The End”, slated to begin December 3, 2025. The story sets Rick on the run as “the most wanted man in this and every other universe,” with Morty — and even Space Beth — in hot pursuit. It is presented as not some kind of metaphor — in other words, this really is the end of the road for the Oni Press comic saga.

According to Bleeding Cool News, “But with Oni Press publishing ‘Ten Years Of Rick And Morty Omnibuses’, it is time for the comic book series of series – and the license behind it – to come to an end. ” For fans, it means this unraveling of multiversal antics will conclude with finality.

How We Got Here: Milestones & Major Threads

• From the start, the series didn’t shy away from high-concept sci-fi. The first two volumes follow Rick and Morty from Dimension C-132 rather than the show’s C-137 versions — a clever workaround to keep the comics creative without stepping on the TV show’s continuity.

• Later volumes began aligning more closely with the television version of “Rick and Morty”, referencing episodes and weaving in familiar character arcs.
• With the conclusion of the initial run at issue #60, the series stacked everything into “The Rickoning” — Rick versus the Rick Illuminati, universe-destroying bombs, the works.

• After 2020, the title was relaunched with new creative teams, new arcs, and more experiments — but none with quite the same scope as the original. Now, “The End” looks to wrap up the saga for good.

What This Means for Fans and Collectors

For long-time readers, this is a moment of closure. The comic series has given us countless wild detours, bizarre character takes, and multiversal resets — and now we’re heading toward one final ride. Collectors will want to keep an eye on the December launch of “The End”, as it’s being pitched as the definitive conclusion of the Oni Press run. New readers might also view this as a natural stopping point to jump in (or revisit), knowing it’s wrapping up.

For fans of the TV series, the comics have always offered something a little wilder — the freedom to explore “Rick and Morty” outside the constraints of television production schedules. With the finale approaching, it’s an excellent moment to dive into back issues, relive some of the craziest arcs, and appreciate how these comics expanded the “Rick & Morty” multiverse in unexpected ways.

Looking Ahead

Although the comics are concluding this chapter, it’s worth noting that the “Rick & Morty” brand continues to live on in many forms — animated series, spin-offs, crossovers, one-shots, and more licensed adventures. But for this particular comic series, the curtain is being drawn. Whether you loved the storyline from the very first issue or hopped in halfway through, now’s the time to buckle up for one last multiversal ride with Rick and Morty.
