Why read it?
2 authors picked Adventure Time, Volume 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Adventure Time comics capture the spirit of the TV show (which my eight-year-old also loves) perfectly, but with stories that are brand new.
There’s just the right balance of absurd humor and genuine feeling, and the blend of sci-fi, horror, action, and adventure never gets old. Plus, it’s funny. And there are lots of butts.
Okay, so Finn is an androgynous cartoon character but he’s the embodiment of childlike innocence, bravery, and self-sacrifice. I started with the TV series and fell in love with the characters and humor. (Ice King is my favorite and he’s basically the antithesis of a Gary Stu, so he balances Finn out nicely.) After finishing the 13 seasons on Hulu I started on the graphic novels. It’s definitely the weirdest cartoon around and the plot lines are kinda random, but there are so many gems. Watch the first season. If you don’t like it, then we can’t be friends.…
