The title is a reference to the dark fantasy novel Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, in which "Mr. Dark", the sinister leader of a traveling carnival comes to town, granting the townsfolk's secret desires but always paired with an ironic twist. For example, a 50-year-old schoolteacher wishes to be young again and is transformed into a little girl but is now blind. A stand-alone sequel miniseries, Rick and Morty Go to Hell, was published by Oni Press from April 29 to October 21, 2020.
