Fans can return to the Land of Ooo this spring, as multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher Oni Press announces a new on-going Adventure Time comics series. The first issue will launch in April 2025, bringing the popular franchise back to panels for the first time in almost a decade and picking up where the previous Eisner-winning adventures left off.
In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Cartoon Network, Oni is kicking off a new era of epic adventure for Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum and the cast of literally thousands that call Ooo home, featuring a rotating roster of creative talents across its first year — including cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (Bloody Mary), 2024 Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo), former Adventure Time writer/storyboard artist and 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), Asia Simone (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll), Jorge Monlongo (Over the Garden Wall: Hallow Town), Brenda Hicke (My Little Pony) and more.
Beginning with part one of the all-new story arc “Best of Buds” by Winn, Adventure Time #1 will plunge into an unexpected new quest for Finn the Human and Jake the Dog that will bring new challenges, new creatures and a brand-new princess crashing into their path. In the months to follow, readers can catch all-new stories and unexpected surprises from Cash, Ballard, and more from esteemed talents working in comics today.
“Adventure Time was such a huge part of me growing up,” said series writer and artist Winn.” Not only was it hilarious, but it had such an emotional intelligence that very few shows could pull off back then. Being able to revisit the Land of Ooo through Oni Press has really been such a joy and a challenge to build something new while still keeping the energy and charm the show cast on me in middle school!”
“We’re thrilled to welcome readers back to distant lands with all new adventures featuring their favorite Adventure Time characters,” said series editor Megan Brown. “The Land of Ooo has long been home to some of the most radically unique comics, and we’re excited to add to their rich legacy with an incredible creative team crafting a story that is full of friendship, heart, and wild new challenges for Finn & Jake to overcome. BEST OF BUDS is the perfect jumping-off point for new readers — and a return to form for old friends!”
