Hoo boy. Let me start off by saying
that Adventure Time is one of my favourites of all cartoon TV shows,
nay, of all TV shows. Its mixture of bizarre action, surreal humour
and the best friends anywhere, ever, makes me watch this show for
hours and hours. So when I heard that it was getting a tie-in comic,
I was ecstatic. I had extremely high expectations of this comic, and
boy, does it deliver. Some pressing issues prevented me from reading
the first issue, and so I must bring before you a review of Adventure
Time #2.
The main story continues on from the
first issue, with the Lich having captured Finn, Jake, Dessert
Princess and Ice King inside a mysterious bag. Marceline, Bubblegum
Princess and Lumpy Space Princess (boy, this comic has a LOT of
royalty. Marceline's a vampire queen) are also caught during the
events of this comic, and the plot deals with them trying to find
their way out. There are tiny, three-panel mini-comics on the bottom
of some pages, and they are hilarious. My favourite moment has to be
the Ice King's pet penguin Gunter reading Ice King-penned
fan-fiction.
