Next month will see the launch of Oni Press' final Rick and Morty comic book series, and fans have been getting excited about the news. Oni Press has released the solicitations for the first issue, as well as some previews, as well as the solicitation for the second issue, and now the February solicitations are out, and Oni Press has released the solicitation for the THIRD issue of Rick and Morty: The End, as well as some looks at the covers for the issue.
Rick and Morty: The End is from writer Daniel Kibblesmith and artist Jarrett Williams, and it serves a followup to the crossover event, Rick and Morty Versus the Universe, which saw Rick actually get into a fight with his own UNIVERSE, leading him to become the most wanted man in this, and every other, universe! In the third issue of the series, Rick is forced to take on the Vindicators!
What is the solicitation for Rick and Morty: The End #3?
RICK AND MORTY: THE END #3 (of 6)

ART BY JARRETT WILLIAMS
COVER A BY DAVE BARDIN
COVER B BY TROY LITTLE
MOST WANTED VARIANT (1:10) BY PHIL MURPHY

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?
THE END is almost certainly nigh as cosmic annihilators Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki) and Jarrett Williams (Speed Force) count down to the end of Rick and Morty's epic 10-year run at Oni Press!

Who are the Vindicators?
The Vindicators come togetherThe Vindicators were an Avengers-like superhero team that was introduced in the third season of Rick and Morty, "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender." Rick had teamed up with them in the past, and now they needed his help against the Worldender.
Rick, though, quickly turned the heroes against each other in a sort of Saw-like series of traps, and they slowly killed each other, showing that they were never really the altruistic heroes that they pretended to be. A few of them survived the killings, though, so presumably those are the members who will be joining Morty in hunting down Rick (and maybe there will be new members, as well).
The team received its own special online prequel, as well as a comic book one-shot. Here, they appear to be re-named the Vind-RICK-atators, so it is unclear if there will be more characters on the team who have a grudge against Rick.
