A new limited series (initial run of five) filled with mystery, murder, and mayhem, this new collections set in the world of Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland’s hit video game series Trover Saves the Universe!, is as weird and wonderful as you might expect.

‘Welcome to the ICJ’, so runs the #blurb, with the acronym standing for Important Cosmic Jobs, a workplace where the boss ranks employees.

So far so, sure, that’s life, but at the end of each month, the worst employee literally gets the axe. As in made to no longer breathe.

As in dead as a dodo.

It’s… not a great gig.

But “when ICJ’s top eyehole monster winds up dead, the company’s most inept (and rival) employees, Klover and Bo, are falsely accused of his murder and hunted by the Space Cops!”

The unruly pair must clear their names and unravel a conspiracy that reaches the very top…that is, if they don’t kill each other first!

Though some of the humour is a bit ‘specific’ the imagination and tone are as madcap and unhinged as the source material, meaning that TStU is the perfect companion piece to R&M’s bonkers universe.

If you’ve not seen Rick and Morty or played the Trover games (where have you been?), here’s a taste of what you’re getting yourself into.
