This was probably my favourite volume of this series, I loved it so much.
Bubblegum and Marceline are so cute honestly.

A really cool and long story. Loved the art and fan art as usual.
Loved the Marceline magazine at the beginning with everyone’s different comics.

This volume of Adventure time was much more enjoyable than the last couple of volumes. Story concept was a bit more involved, but was much more eye-catching and in tune with what one would have seen in the show. I particularly liked the antagonist in this volume.
I don't want to ruin anything for those who want to read the book, but I have to say, while I'm still really annoyed about the mint-green text that the author seems to think is necessary at the foot of every page, there were substantially less of them in this volume than the last, however.. as others have pointed out, the jokes he makes as footnotes really aren't funny and don't add anything to the story. The author really should give up on this notion and use his energy writing better panels instead of giving older audience members headaches by having them strain their eyes to read obscenely hard to read mint green text on a white background.
And while the volume starts off kinda sketchy (Marcelzine, lol), it comes out alright in the end and does actually end up being one of the better (so far) volumes of this comic.
Looking forward to more!

The second volume of Adventure Time comics! I loved it even more than the first!
So in these episodes, Finn and Jake go on a crazy time adventure, thanks to Princess Bubblegum's amazing invention. At first, it's all just a bit of fun - until PB decides the time machine is too dangerous and must be destroyed. Of course, Jake already had plans to use it and attempts to repair the machine. This leads to some strange outcomes...
The main characters in this volume are BMO and PB (other than Finn and Jake, of course). There are also mentions of several other characters, including a strange Finn-Jake hybrid named Tim. Oh, and there are a ton of robots. (Thanks, BMO.)
As usual, the graphics are superb. One of my favourite parts is still the "cover gallery" at the end, with alternate covers for each issue. I also like the little side-notes included at the bottom of some pages, often breaking the fourth wall and referring to the TV show. I do, however, sometimes feel like they're trying a bit too hard to be funny. Eh, I might just be a picky reader.
I really do love these comics - they're fun and enjoyable and relaxing to read. The art is lovely and the stories are just a bit of fun, really. Of course, there are some pretty meaningful morals hidden under all the jokes, too.
Easily 4.5 stars for this volume. Colourful and funny and unique!

Another fantastic outing for both the franchise and North. I love the story in this one; it isn't quite as good as volume 6 but seeing Finn grow old was great and the ending was hilarious. The early zine was fun too, and I really want to see more of the future adventurers!
What this volume does best - better than the rest of the series - is demonstrate how infinite AT could be.
