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.

'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.

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!

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!
