Pirates have infiltrated the Candy Kingdom and stolen one of Princess Bubblegum’s prized possessions. Since the Candy Kingdom has no navy (sugar dissolves in water) she calls upon her good friend Marceline to retrieve it. With BMO, and his sonar abilities, by her side, Marceline embraces the Pirate Queen life and sets off on the dangerous quest to retrieve the treasure and save the day.
Marceline and BMO are easily two of my favourite Adventure Time characters, so I loved getting swept up in this stand-alone adventure with the two of them. The humour was perfect, and the pacing of the story was consistent, and there was always something new around the corner. Being Marceline, she faced every challenge head-on in her own unique way. Overall, this is a fun, quick read that would be enjoyable for long-time Adventure Time fans, or those dipping their toes in for the first time.

Just a fun Adventure Time story for all the good feelings. I don't know how it couldn't make me smile.

just a really cute graphic novel! i loved marceline and BMO’s relationship in this, and the art is so wonderful. wish there was more interaction with princess bubblegum, finn, and jake though.

Bubblegum and Marceline are two of my favorite characters from the show. So when I saw there was a graphic novel about pirates stealing something from Princess Bubblegum's chamber and her asking Marceline to retrieve it, I was all in.
Some of the books in the Adventure Time comics/graphic novel universe are hit or miss for me, but this one was great. A fun, engaging story, hilarious and adorable jokes and shenanigans, adventure, oddity, lovely artwork, and the always-amazing BMO all come together to make this one spot on.
Really enjoyed Williams' take on the universe and characters and how Sterling stuck closely to the original character designs but also created a whole new world of villains, monsters, and details with his own style. A great spin off that feels true to the show while still adding something new to the universe.
