Of all the Adventure Time comics I've read so far, this was been the biggest disappointment. I was hoping for something along the lines of the BMO Noir episode. Instead, this read like bad Adventure Time fanfic, as the author struggled to find ways to bring in every single character for a "guest spot" in the comic. If you are not familiar with the show, this may be the least accessible as there are references to things that have happened over the previous five seasons of the series. Even fans of the show can probably safely give this one a pass.

Eh, it was fine. Lacked the humour usual for AT (maybe I'm just missing Ryan North?), relied too much on Peppermint Butler's maybe-evilness in the dialogue, art, and plot, but some of the stories had cute moments, especially Marceline and Tree Trunks.

It's cute, if forgettable.
After Finn and Jake disappear, Peppermint Butler is assigned to track them down to retrieve Bubblegum's hammer. Not wanting to be a hero, he uses Cinnamon Bun to help assemble a team of characters to lead the search and help out around the Candy Kingdom, though they end up doing more harm than good. The team-ups are fun, but the mystery itself is an afterthought, only really coming back at the end, as if Yuko Ota remembered then there was something Peppermint Butler and Cinnamon Bun were looking for.
The Evan Dahm short is definitely the highlight of the book, with some great linework and a nice sense of rhythm and style that fit in the world.
Ian McGinty's linework is super thick -- maybe too thick for the bright colors and constant action happening on every page, so there are times it takes a few moments to distinguish what's going on. Him and Ota were definitely having fun depicting a more unhinged Peppermint Butler, and his dark power traits get continually more hysterical.
Not the best of the Adventure Time comic miniseries, but enjoyable and fun nevertheless.

I didn’t think this comic was as good as the regular series, but it still has some fun Marceline, LSP, Treetrunks, and Peppermint Butler adventures. I love that you get to see more of Peppermint Butler and his dark side. It was good, but not great.

En Chuches detectives seguimos las aventuras del mayordomo Menta (un personaje pero que muy interesante) y Don Polvorón, que reciben el encargo de la princesa Chicle de mantener a salvo Chuchelandia. El toque de novela negra le sienta muy bien a la obra, pudiendo tirar de algunos de sus clichés con bastante gracia. Creo que estos cómics con los personajes secundarios de la serie son incluso más entretenidos que los de Finn y Jake, quizá por la libertad que le da a los guionistas, y la oportunidad de ver a aquellos personajes de otra forma. Una lectura muy amena.
