In "Maximum Coda!", Rick and Morty are dragged into the underwater lair of Concerto the Mad Composer, a vengeful maestro determined to end their chaotic reign with a symphony of destruction. With the help of his music-powered allies—Vile Lynn, Mellow Cello, and the bizarre Instrumals like SnareCrow and AccordiOX—Concerto unleashes a crescendo of threats that test Rick and Morty in ways neither expected. Written by Brockton McKinney and brought to life with dynamic art by Jarrett Williams, this high-stakes, sound-soaked adventure reveals a long-buried grudge that even Rick didn’t know he’d provoked. Cover by Jarrett Williams.

Concerto the Mad Composer lures Rick and Morty to his underwater, music-themed lair for his "Maximum Coda", a final attempt at revenge-killing our kinda-sorta heroes. Can they survive the assault of Concerto, his music-based hench-beings Vile Lynn and Mellow Cello, and Vile Lynn's bizarre musical instrument and animal hybrids The Instrumals: SnareCrow (snare drum/crow), Xylopede (xylophone/centipede), and AccordiOX (accordian/ox)? ...And, along with Rick, we learn the reason behind Concerto's near-lifelong vendetta against Rick... of which Rick wasn't even aware until this trilogy began.
