#Pocket mortys best mortys 2017 series#
Hopefully that angle is something the series will emphasize going forward. Rick is a crass, self-absorbed, thoughtless person on his best day, but here we see what the Rick/Morty dynamic is like when the former shows absolutely no sense of attachment or affection towards the latter. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this series is the way that Rick is painted as such an overt villain. Even vanilla Morty makes of an amusing protagonist, one who's laughably pathetic yet rendered just well enough that the reader can't help but root for him. There's Ants-In-My-Eyes Morty, a character who capitalizes on an amusing gag from the show without wearing out said gag. There's Mer-Morty, a half-boy, half-fish who doesn't take well to living in dry captivity. Howard and artist Marc Ellerby get plenty of mileage out of showcasing all the strange, varied Morty permutations Rick has assembled for his collection. It's basically Lord of the Flies mixed with the bizarre, nihilistic sense of humor the show is known for. What follows is a goofy but bleak little misadventure that feels worthy of the source material. This issue could probably have benefited from offering a little more background on the Pocket Mortys concept rather than opening in media res two weeks into Morty's captivity, but there's something to be said for just skipping to the good stuff. Instead, Howard frames the comic from the perspective of one of the many Mortys who have become pawns in Rick's quest to complete his collection.
Thankfully, writer Tini Howard doesn't attempt a straightforward adaptation of the game (which is basically a parody of the Pokemon series).
