However, this seemingly innocent fashion accessory attracts an ancient evil so banal that even these intrepid explorers may not be able to halt it. Delivered in classic comics-event tradition, this special release is packed with everyone from Rick and Morty to Mr. Poopybutthole, Pickle Rick, and an entire cast of franchise favorites, all brought to fans in a faux-crossover from the twisted geniuses behind
Rick and Morty Presents: Birdperson.

Firer dove straight into the absurdities for this upcoming
Rick and Morty adventure and he makes no apologies for the tale's bizarre qualities and addictive craziness.
“
Rick's New Hat is my attempt to tell the dumbest story in the widest possible scope — that of a massive comic book company crossover event," Firer tells SYFY WIRE. "Rick getting a new hat that makes him dumb will take him to the apocalypse, the afterlife, and to meet the God of Knowledge himself, Nunzumel the Think-Giver. The chapters in between will focus on Mr. Poopybutthole, Tickets Please Guy, and Morty's nonexistent solo title - opening the door to an imagined world where even the most minor character has a series that spans hundreds of issues and will never end."
