"Rick and Morty" #23, from writer Kyle Starks, artist CJ Cannon, colorist Katy Farina and Oni Press, concludes a three-issue arc featuring Doofus Jerry, an alternate universe version of the Adult Swim series' normally affable (and harmless) character. Rick, Morty and the rest of the family (including *our* Jerry) must fight the new King Jerry before he becomes the supreme leader of all reality.

Our hundred-year, million-article look at Oni Press’ “Rick and Morty” continues with a preview of next week’s issue #23, which serves as the conclusion of the three-part “Doofus Jerry” story arc and sees what looks to be Rick’s final stand against the surprisingly formidable alternate universe Jerry.

As the issue opens, we see Doofus Jerry’s base and ultimate desires laid bare: He wants total, complete conquest of the multiverse, and he will kill (or humiliate) anything in his way. But Rick is not losing to any Jerry, and he’s got a big, metal-y plan to stop him.

“Rick and Morty” #23, from writer Kyle Starks, artist CJ Cannon, colorist Katy Farina, along with a backup comic from Marc Ellerby, goes on sale Wednesday, Feb. 22.
