Rick and Morty: Corporate Assets #1 – 2021 kicks off a darkly hilarious and subversive mini-series that dives into capitalism’s most grotesque extremes — all through the unfiltered lens of Rick Sanchez and his long-suffering grandson Morty. Published by Oni Press, this issue delivers exactly what fans of the animated series crave: twisted humour, interdimensional chaos, and unapologetic social commentary, wrapped in a sharp, stylish comic format.

Written by James Asmus, this first issue sets the tone quickly: Rick and Morty are captured by a ruthless intergalactic corporation that sees potential in weaponising Rick’s genius… and Morty’s marketability. What unfolds is an absurd, biting critique of corporate greed and tech-bro culture, filtered through the irreverent sci-fi anarchy that defines the Rick and Morty universe. Rick, of course, refuses to play along — unless it benefits him. Morty? Let’s just say his journey into branded servitude gets weird fast.

Asmus nails the voice of the show, from Rick’s egomaniacal rants to Morty’s anxious reactions. The jokes are sharp and layered, often landing as both commentary and absurd punchline. And while the themes are satirical — corporate control, commodification of genius, branding your trauma — the humour never feels preachy. It’s chaotic, crude, and clever in equal measure.

The artwork by Jarrett Williams is loud, expressive, and kinetic, with panel layouts that match the frantic pace of the narrative. The exaggerated expressions and colourful, high-gloss aesthetic bring the over-the-top corporate environments and techy nightmare scenarios to life in a way that mirrors the animated series while giving the comic its own visual identity.

Whether you're a long time fan of Rick and Morty or just appreciate sharp, dystopian satire, Corporate Assets #1 is a solid launch to a miniseries that doesn’t hold back. It’s outrageous, smart, and full of moments that’ll have you laughing uncomfortably at just how close to reality it sometimes hits.
