Oni Press is shipping two titles to comic book stores on Wednesday, August 29th, and both of them are Rick and Morty, which we understand is a selling point for most people. Personally, we've never seen an episode, but we did try to order Szechuan Sauce from McDonalds once. They didn't have any. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, comics previews.

The first sees the fan-favorite franchise crossover with iconic IDW-licensed RPG property Dungeons & Dragons. Check out a preview below:

Rick and Morty™ vs. Dungeons & Dragons #1
(W) Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Zub
(A) Troy Little
(C) Leonardo Ito
(CA) Troy Little with Leonardo Ito
Age Rating: Teen, 16+
Genre: Sci-Fi, Humor, Fantasy

When Morty needs to learn how to play D&D to keep up with the cool kids, his hard-drinking, old school-gaming, mad science-making grandpa is happy to teach him how to roll the dice, but neither of them is prepared for the saving throws they're about to fail or the true quest yet to come. Strap on a +1 longsword and grab your 10-foot pole, because this is going to be a gaming gauntlet like no other!

And if that's not enough Rick and Morty for you, the regular Rick and Morty ongoing is out next week as well:

Rick and Morty™ #41

What do a planet-hopping degenerate, a totally buff (and existentially tortured) Meeseeks, a grieving gun-toting widow, an alien prince, and a bull terrier all have in common? They all hate Rick. A lot. And they're coming after him, Morty, and the whole family in RICK REVENGE SQUAD: PART ONE. Also, catch new backup comics by Tini Howard (Rick and Morty™: Pocket Like You Stole It, Assassinistas) and Jarrett Williams (Super Pro K.O., Hyper Force Neo)!
