The end is almost here for Rick and Morty at Oni Press. Next month, the publisher will launch the final comic book series for the iconic grandfather-grandson duo, and the latest solicitation for the third installment teases wild details fans won’t want to miss.
Fans who have been following Rick and Morty in comics know that the December 3, 2025, release of Daniel Kibblesmith, Jarrett Williams, and Alessandro Santoro’s Rick and Morty: The End #1 is fast approaching.
For months, Oni Press has teased the series with previews, cover art, and detail drops. Now, its February solicitations reveal covers and a synopsis for issue #3, offering tantalizing new details for the six-issue series.

For those who haven’t been following Oni Press’ Rick and Morty comics, Rick and Morty: The End picks up after the crossover event Rick and Morty Versus the Universe. That storyline saw Rick clash with his own Universe, ultimately becoming persona non grata across the multiverse. The series continues his chaotic adventures while setting the stage for a climactic finale.
Rick and Morty: The End continues Rick’s life on the run, but fans now have a clearer picture of what’s coming thanks to the solicitation for issue #3. It teases that Rick will confront the Vindicators, an Avengers-like superhero team first introduced in the third-season episode Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender (2017), promising plenty of action and chaos.
It’s an intergalactic battle royale between the universe’s smartest man and its saddest gang of bench-warming superheroes! The Vindicators (newly dubbed the Vind-RICK-ators) have managed to track down Rick Sanchez, but he’s not going quietly as the galactic search for Rick hits its chaotic fever pitch. Rick’s foes pull out every stop to corner the madman and TRY to bring him in to pay for his crimes against EXISTENCE! But Rick has a few tricks up his lab coat. Will the cosmic super-genius finally be forced to face the consequences of his terrible actions, or have the Vindicators, led by Morty, fallen into one of his most elaborate traps yet?
In addition to the synopsis above, the solicitation confirms that Rick and Morty: The End #3 will be written by Daniel Kibblesmith with art by Jarrett Williams, and will be released on February 4, 2025. Cover art for the issue was created by Dave Bardin, Troy Little, Phil Murphy, and Tom Fowler.

With these new details, the end of Rick and Morty at Oni Press feels even more real. This marks the conclusion of a fan-loved, decade-long run for one of pop culture’s most iconic duos. Oni Press has emphasized that the title is literal, not symbolic: “THIS TITLE IS NOT SOME KIND OF ARTFUL METAPHOR, FOLKS!”
The future of Rick and Morty comics remains uncertain. It’s unclear whether the license ends entirely or if Oni Press is simply stepping away. This leaves open the possibility that another publisher could pick up the title. However, Rick and Morty fans likely won’t have a definitive answer on the comic’s future until the series finale draws closer.
Rick and Morty: The End #3 is available February 4, 2026, from Oni Press!
