Rick and Morty: Rick's New Hat #5 – 2021 concludes the mini-series with a satisfying, yet absurd, finale to a storyline that’s been nothing short of chaotic and hilarious. Written by Ryan Ferrier and illustrated by Ramon Bachs, this issue dives deeper into the ridiculous adventures of Rick Sanchez as he embarks on yet another outrageous escapade — this time revolving around the strange, inexplicable importance of Rick’s new hat.

The narrative of Rick's New Hat presents a wacky journey where Rick gets his hands on a hat with seemingly infinite powers — a hat that becomes the centrepiece of a bizarre mission involving alternate dimensions, mind-bending technology, and the usual sprinkling of existential angst that has come to define the Rick and Morty franchise. As the title suggests, this hat isn’t just a trivial object; it becomes a symbol of Rick’s impulsive, reckless nature and his tendency to go off the rails when faced with something new and shiny.

In Issue #5, the tension ramps up as Rick and Morty face increasingly ridiculous obstacles in their quest to understand the true purpose of the hat. The situation escalates with absurd twists, each more outlandish than the last, all while the duo is chased by a group of peculiar, hat-related villains — think corporate suits, time-warping hat-wearing enemies, and the usual plethora of strange beings from the Rick and Morty multiverse.

Ryan Ferrier’s writing continues to shine with its sharp humour, blending slapstick comedy with the series’ signature satirical edge. There are plenty of dark, self-aware jokes about identity, purpose, and of course, the farcical nature of Rick and Morty’s multiverse. The jokes come thick and fast, with Rick’s over-the-top soliloquies and Morty’s existential terror adding both depth and chaos to the storyline.

The artwork by Ramon Bachs perfectly complements the frenzied tone of the comic. The action is fast-paced, the characters are drawn with exaggerated expressions, and the panel layouts are dynamic — all of which bring the madcap energy of Rick and Morty to life. The colours are vivid, adding to the intensity of the bizarre worlds and situations Rick and Morty navigate in this final issue.

Rick and Morty: Rick's New Hat #5 is a fitting conclusion to a series that’s been pure, unfiltered fun. It captures everything fans love about the show — absurdity, irreverence, and, of course, plenty of dark humour. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s followed the series and enjoys the absurd depths the Rick and Morty universe explores.
