A review by theverbalthing
Adventure Time Vol. 3 by Ryan North

5.0

While the choose-your-own-adventure "Adventure Time" portion of this issue stressed me out because there was so much happening all at once, I couldn't help but laugh at the ways the choices intermingled. I read that portion of this volume three or four times, attempting to read every panel, and I'm not sure if I succeeded but it was a fun time regardless.

As for the rest of this volume, I am obsessed with the idea of Marcelina hanging out with Jake and Finn to play video games, for starters. I also love that this volume celebrates her intelligence, just like Vol. 2 celebrated PB's -- the fact that Ryan North & co. recognize that ladies get shit done (especially the ladies of "Adventure Time") is really important to me, especially given all of the sexist bullshit that seems to surround this show and its fandom. Marceline kicked major ass in this volume and I just want to read more, more, more, more, more.

I'm now going to devour every other "Adventure Time" comic that I can get my hands on, because I'm in love.
