Well, in the world of fanfiction, people can take characters in all sorts of directions. But in the context of 'Rick and Morty', the idea of Rick abusing Morty in the fanfiction is a deviation from the show. The show focuses on their interdependent relationship, with Rick being the brilliant but flawed mentor and Morty being the somewhat naive sidekick. Fanfiction writers might create such scenarios to explore the darker side of their relationship, but it's not a part of the main narrative.
There are indeed Rick and Morty comics. They're a great way for fans to immerse themselves deeper into the world of Rick and Morty. The comics sometimes explore concepts and characters that might not have been featured prominently in the show.
Rick's origin story has some key aspects. He was born into a world with certain scientific limitations, but his mind was far beyond those. He started breaking boundaries early on. His origin might also involve some sort of trauma that made him so detached from normal emotions. We see his character constantly using alcohol and going on wild adventures as a way to cope or perhaps forget his past.
Some writers might create this type of fanfiction for shock value. They know that the original relationship between Rick and Morty has a certain dynamic, and by making it into an abusive one, they can get a strong reaction from readers. Also, it could be a form of expressing their own dark interpretations of power dynamics within the show.
Rick and Morty didn't start as a comic. It first gained popularity as an animated series. The show's unique storyline and characters made it a hit before any comic adaptations were made.
I'm not aware of any Rick and Morty comic in the newspaper. Maybe it's possible in some very specific or niche newspapers, but it's not a common occurrence.
I think they're good. The comics expand on the universe of the show and offer new adventures for the characters. The humor and creativity are still top-notch.
