just. so. good. A book about the troubles of friendship, creaitivy, insecurity, pushing people away, saying sorry and forgiving. <3

I love that this little book focused on the friendship between Marceline and Bubblegum, and I really enjoyed the bright colors and mesmerizing artwork. Unfortunately, the story felt muddled to me, and I never really understood what was going on (or why) in either the main plot (Marcie and PB) or side stories (Finn, Cinnamon Bun, band dude, etc).

This is a stellar one-shot comic centering on the friendship between Marceline and Princess Bubblegum. When a strange energy source hits Marcy’s house, knocking Finn out and causing Marceline to become a destructive force that could tear Ooo apart Princess Bubblegum makes a rash decision to shoot her into space.

Mourning the loss of Marceline takes a bizarre commercial bent on Ooo when Suspencer takes advantage of Marcy’s absence to howk all her junk and release her most private demo tapes. Meanwhile, Cinnamon Bun is imbued with strange energy that causes the denizens of Ooo to become glued to his body...craziness ensues. Finn wanders the world, the same energy causing him to be repelled from anyone he tries to help, he loses all sense of purpose.
Ooo seems to be in the grip of total destruction when PB heads into space to rescue her bestie, leaving Peppermint Butler in charge of an Ooo gone mad.

I love love love this issue, heartwarming and so sweet, yet hilarious, it’s perfect. I loved all the backstory about Marcy and Pbubs starting out. The Leaflans poorly spelled insults are also great.

A quick, fun, easy read. Fine Bubbline material. I must say I was a bit disappointed their backstory, but I was entertained nonetheless. Unrelated, I find it hard to see Cinnamon Bun the way he is portrayed in this comic compared to how he now in the show as FP's knight. Don't miss the old CB.
