It’s been a while since we last hung out with Finn and Jake – the dynamic duo at the heart of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time. The groundbreaking animated series ended in 2018, with BOOM! Studio’s long-running comic also closing the same year. Well, the wait for new stories from the Land of Ooo is nearly over: Adventure Time is coming back as an all-new ongoing series from Oni Press.
The first arc of the new comic is called ‘Best of Buds’ and is written and illustrated by cartoonist Nick Winn. The debut issue also comes with a back-up story from Adventure Time animator Derek Ballard. The series will be produced by a “rotating cast of cutting-edge creative talents” according to Oni Press, that also includes Caroline Cash, Asia Simone, Jorge Monlongo, and Brenda Hickey, with more still to be revealed.
Check out our exclusive preview of the first issue in the gallery below.
