Read as single issues.

I had really high expectations for this but I didn't think that Gran had a handle on the characterisation and tone of Adventure Time. I found her original characters very dull and HATED the Guy storyline, particularly after her Sugarless Gum feelings on Twitter.

This is my favorite "Adventure Time" comic series yet. The voices are perfect, the art is fantastic, and the whole concept behind the story is absolutely flawless. I'm in love with Marceline in this series and I'm in love with Marceline's feelings toward everyone around her in this series -- most especially Princess Bubblegum. I won't lie; a good chunk of my delight in this story was the shippy overtones between M and PB. I'm not ashamed.

Captures the fun and randomness of Adventure Time. This collection is all about Marceline and her band and Princess Bubblegum going on tour.

I LOVED this. I didn't want it to end. It's full of female friendship and how to deal with fear and doubt. I'm a Bubbline fan, and there were some "they're in love" undertones, which made this even better.

EDIT: WAIT THE PICTURE DIDNT WORK LAST TIME. Look look look.


AMERIKATE BUBBLINE.

Also don't go hunting for Bubbline fan art because you will end up spiraling.

Perfectly respectable entry into the AT canon. A lot more narrative-driven and a bit less whimsical than North's comics, generally speaking, and because of that, it came off as having a more direct message (believe in yourself, etc.) Fun read, but didn't quite captivate or surprise a laugh out of me the same way the TV show and main comics (regularly) do.

Should've been gay. Can't fathom why it wasn't. Overall I liked it. Good illustrations.
