Rick and Morty Will Crossover With Dungeons & Dragons, and Patrick Rothfuss is Involved!

While Rick and Morty fans will have to wait for any details about Season 4, IDW Publishing and Oni Press have announced that Rick and Morty will be crossing over with Dungeons & Dragons in a new comic book mini-series. The fantastic duo will have their epic high-fantasy adventures and the mini-series is expected to have the kind of humor, wit, and intelligence the show is celebrated for.

Announced at C2E2 in San Diego today, the comic will be written by Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicles) and Jim Zub (Wayward, The Avengers) and they will collaborate with Eisner-nominated artist Troy Little (Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).

Speaking about the crossover, Rothfuss said:

"I love Rick and Morty with a powerful love, and I've played D&D since the 5th grade. So when they approached me about writing a story with both of them together? That's some serious you-got-chocolate-in-my-peanut butter $#!& right there. I'm in. I'm all the way in. I'm gettin' that chocolate all up in the peanut butter. Like, deep in. All the way in. It's going to be sticky and delicious."

Zub added:

"TheDungeons & Dragonscrew is letting Pat and I open a Pandora's Box of insane adventure material and iconic creatures from the granddaddy of all tabletop role-playing games. I wish I could say we'll take good care of it, but, the simple truth is, this is Rick and Morty we're talking about. No fantasy world or otherworldly plane of existence is safe."

I'm a fan of both properties so I'm excited to see how this epic crossover will turn out.

Here's the synopsis;

Morty goes to Rick for help to learn aboutDungeons & Dragons, the game all the cool kids at his school are playing; naturally, things go horribly wrong as Rick, Morty, and the whole Smith family find themselves on an epic quest with no escape in sight

The Rick & Morty and Dungeons & Dragons crossover mini-series is expected to launch this August.
