The Final Issue Of Rick & Morty #60 Takes On a Sentient Coronavirus

Published Wed, 25 Mar 2020 07:00:17 -0500

The final issue of Rick & Morty #60 from Oni Press layers twist upon twist onto its Rickilluminati five-parter final storyline. We may get into the spoiler twists upon twists in that final issue later, that make the recent heist episode of the TV show look like 'Murder She Wrote'. But what is really intriguing is, in a week in which the coronavirus took down the comic book industry, it also seems to take down Rick and Morty… but in a far more personal and present fashion.

Terry Blas and Benjamin Dewey have a back-up strip called Attack The Virus, which sees a sick Jerry infected by a mystery virus. But obviously it was all Rick's fault.

But this coronavirus has agency…

And Morty clearly didn't wash his hands before touching his face.

I guess it's harder to self isolate when an infinite-dimensional army of yourself all have portal guns and can pop by any second.
