"I've been a huge Rick and Morty fan since I watched them bury their own bodies over ten years ago," said writer Daniel Kibblesmith," and have continued to follow their ups and downs, and downs, and more downs, and then up again, and now way, way down. It is a profound honor to force them through an adventure more cosmic and stressful than anything that they have faced before. "Who will survive and what will be left of them?"
