Oni Press is celebrating Rick and Morty's 50th issue in style, and now we can exclusively reveal two new connecting covers from the extravaganza.

Oni Press had artist Matt Horak (Spider-Man, Deadpool, Punisher) put together some connecting covers for the big issue, which celebrates the first 49 issues of the series by featuring Rick and Morty in a number of creative versions, and you can check out the awesome new covers below.

In the cover, there's got apes, giant grapes (hey, that rhymed!), sunflowers, lizard men, cavemen, punk rockers, .lumberjacks, aliens, toys, robots, spacemen, wizards, skeletons, zombies, strongmen, devils, wrestlers, twins, clowns, men made out of fire, insects, bananas, super villains, Frankenstein's monsters, creepy people, duck faces, sumo wrestlers, soldiers, vampires, surfers, ghosts, barbarians, wolf people, and, of course, Pickle Rick.

The fourth season of the Rick and Morty TV show is also in development, as the show was renewed by Cartoon Network for 70 more episodes. Co-creator Justin Roiland revealed the team was excited about the future in a previous interview.

"We're super excited that, for the first time ever, we're locked in, we know what the future is, we have job security," Roiland told Polygon. "[Co-creator Dan] Harmon is in great spirits, we have a great writer's room. We want the episodes to stay good, but we do also want to try to turn them around a little quicker now that we have this big order, I think it gives us the ability to be faster. We're not going to do these long breaks, these chasms in between seasons anymore. We're going to schedule vacation time and just keep the machine going. It's going to be really cool."

Rick and Morty #50 hits comic stores on May 29th.
