Pep But got a little less creepy... nah. The King of Ooo is even more detestable than before; and Magic Man was whimsical but fun in this one. Hope we learn more about the Ostrich and Delicate People. I also hope the Bears appear again.
Neat spy gear. Funny moments. (Ex: Book trigger in the library)
Yasss!

So, less annoying green text at the bottom of every page, but it's still present and still hard to read. The plot for this novel was much better than vol. 8 and includes Magic Man, Party God and Peppermint Butler (which is always fantastic).

A very cute story arc.
Although I haven't written reviews of other volumes of Adventure Time I remember reading them as something that is just joyous and not really aimed at a specific age range, but this volume to me seems like it's definitely aimed at kids and the plot over simplified.
But my biggest issue is, since when did Jake and Lady Rainicorn have kids? I know I'm probably behind with the tv series and have been reading more of the comics, but I've never heard anything about these children and suddenly there's this sassy daughter driving her own car.

In Volume 9, Christopher Hastings continues his path of placing Adventure Time characters in archetypal stories to offer a fresh, new take that revitalizes both the land of Ooo as well as the genres presented here. In this case, we follow a spy action story, ala James Bond.
I do wish the story had continued on the Lovecraftian path from Volume 8, but this was an fun entry. Adventure Time doesn't get old, and these comics are proof of that. There's not much I can say that differs from my previous reviews on this series: It's pretty amazing!

Great read! I was unsure on the direction the series was going. The last few books were a bit lackluster for me.
But Hastings' issues 40-44 were everything you want from AT. Fun, silly, stupid, adventerous, and colorful. This one's for all of the Peppermint Butler fans out there.
Five stars.
