In this "episode" of Rick and Morty, Summer is feeling pretty down that Rick always takes Morty on adventures but not her. So when Mr. Poopybutthole returns after the events in Total Rickall and asks her to join him on an adventure, Summer is very excited. Their adventure is spliced up with Rick spending time with the rest of the family. The art style is slightly different from the show but I still enjoyed it. This is a quick and easy read if you're into the Rick & Morty franchise.


NOTE: I received a free copy of this book NetGalley. I received no incentive to read or review this book other than said copy of work. The review below contains my own thoughts and opinions. Special thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Enjoyable. Great fun and worth a read. Prefer the comic to the tv series

'Rick and Morty" Lil' Poopy Superstar Vol. 1' by Marc Ellerby with art by Sarah Graley and Mildred Louis is my second graphic novel based on a series I'm not familiar with. I didn't mind the first one, but didn't care much for this one.

Summer Smith is jealous of her brother Morty and his relationship with his grandfather Rick. They have all the fun (or so Summer thinks). When she gets a chance to help out a strange alien named Mr. Poopybutthole, she takes it. What follows is a series of adventures where the reader doesn't know if the character wants to be found because he's famous, or found because he is the object of murderous rage. Summer gets to be a hero, but will that be enough to make her grandfather notice her?

The character's name is pretty dumb and the reader knows it because it is used over and over again, as some sort of blunt trauma joke. There are some things to be said about the nature of celebrity here, but they get buried in tasteless moronic humor. I was not impressed.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Not a bad continuation of the show. And more Mr. Poopybutthole is a good thing. The story focuses on Summer and Mr. Poopybutthole as he returns to his home dimension with short backup stories featuring Rick. My one complaint is that everyone looks like they are from Beevis and Butthead. Comic books can typically take liberties with the art unless you're based on a cartoon. Then I want the art to look like the cartoon.

Received an advance copy from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Great tie-in to the tv show. As acerbic, and far-out as the show's scripts, this is the perfect vehicle to expand the universe with. Art style compares favourably to the show (often with cartoon tie-ins it doesn't feel 'right') with clear text and panel placement.
Perfect for any Rick and Morty fan.

This book is absolutely insane and one of my absolute favorites. There isn't much you can say with out spoiling the plot; but just know that it is very authentic to show, so if you like the show you should probably pick these up!

As a fan of the show, I was very excited at the opportunity to receive a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This is certainly not a substitute for watching the show but a complement to it, featuring a new story, as well as short, unrelated scenes to break up the main story. I prefer this to some graphic novels where the story is almost identical to the show and sometimes either the written or visual version can feel like a weaker imitation of the other. Additionally, this book focuses mainly on Summer, which particularly drew me to it as she doesn’t get much attention usually. I liked that the story started out with her complaining that it’s always ‘Rick and Morty’ and that she’s left out! As far as the story goes, Summer finds herself as sidekick to Mr Poppybutthole – a minor, but entertaining character from the show – and they have a standard Rick & Morty style adventure. I enjoyed it and the artwork made me feel like I was watching the show, but a lot of the time it lacked the witty quips and unique weirdness that makes so many people love Rick & Morty. Overall, it was good for a quick, entertaining read, but I’d have felt disappointed if I’d paid much for it.

Having watched the first two seasons of Rick and Morty on TV, I just knew I had to at some point read the graphic novels/comics. I now wish I had picked these up earlier, part one is the class Rick and Morty that I love watching and now adore reading. Only in this particular volume, the adventure lies with Mr Poopybutthole who's in trouble and seeks the help of Summer Smith who is more than excited to go on an adventure- although it isn't quite has fun as she had hoped.

I'm looking forward to reading the next two parts, superb writing, and beautiful artwork.

So I discovered Rick and Morty in the last year and I’m now hooked on this fantastic show - but it’s only got two frikkin’ seasons! The third one is on the way but I’m jonesing for more, so I checked out this comic, Lil’ Poopy Superstar, and ooh, wee, it’s no substitute.

Summer and Mr Poopybutthole go on an adventure to Mr PB’s home world and you quickly realise why the show isn’t called Summer and Mr Poopybutthole. It’s a weak ass story about Mr PB being a major celebrity, without showing the reader why, that’s not really very funny or interesting and Sarah Graley draws the characters so they look weirdly small (Tiny Rick!).

There are some Rick and Morty backups but they’re not that great either. Well, at least Season 3 will start soon.

AIDS!

Not sure how I missed the subtitle of this book, but these comics based on the Adult Swim tv show, are just... based on bowels and bowel movements. Not only that, but the grandfather treats the granddaughter quite poorly too.

But, if you enjoy this tv show, this book is probably for you.
