We continue our journey through the land of Ooo with the next chapter of the ‘Best of Buds’ story arc from cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (‘Bloody Mary’) and artist Asia Simone (‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll’); issue hits shelves May 7.
Oni Press, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, has shared a first look at “Adventure Time #2,” the next issue in the ongoing series arriving in comic shops May 7. As the publisher says, “Finn and Jake continue kicking it through Ooo with N.E.P.T.R and Flame Princess!”
“Adventure Time #2” includes the next chapter of the monthly story arc “BEST OF BUDS” from cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (“Bloody Mary”) and artist Asia Simone (“Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll”) - the next in the rotating cast of interior artists - and a brand-new back-up story by 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (“Cartoonshow”).
Get ready for a new era of adventure in Ooo with the all-new ongoing series that will make you say “Oh my Glob!”
It’s POETRY TIME! Finn and Jake may be looking for the Enchiridion, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help out a citizen in need! So, when they stumble upon Henry Alexander, poet extraordinaire, trying to win the heart back of his lost lady love, the duo springs into action!
Joined by the never-ending pie-throwing robot N.E.P.T.R and Finn’s totally not-a-crush (stop making it weird, Jake) Flame Princess, can our melodic, mellifluous, magnificent musicians help Henry craft the sickest rhymes and most epic love poetry of all time? If music is the food of love, dear friends . . .
In addition to Winn, Simone, and Ballard, the issue features a rotating cast of “awesomely algebraic” artists and writers like 2024 Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (“PeePee PooPoo”); Jorge Monlongo (“Over the Garden Wall: Hallow Town”); Brenda Hickey (“My Little Pony”); Kenzie Bugg (“Tuca and Bertie”); and Beck Kubrick (“Coby, Alone”).
This “super second issue” is joined by a series of “insanely calculated covers” from Winn, Simone, Shelli Paroline & Braden Lamb (“Midas”), Michael Deforge (“Birds of Maine”), as well as a totally trigonometric sketch cover in “Jake Yellow”!
“Adventure Time #2” is written by Winn with Ballard, with art by Simone with Ballard, with Cover A by Winn, Cover B by Simone, Infinite Interlocking (1:10) by Paroline & Lamb, Variant Cover (1:20) by Deforge, and B&W Variant Cover (1:50) by Winn.
