Adventure Time (comic)

Adventure Time is a comic book series published by BOOM! Studios, written by Dinosaur Comics creator Ryan North, and with art by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb. The comic book is released monthly, starting with issue #1 in February 2012.

The comic is semi-canonical with the Adventure Time TV series' story.

On 15th of April, it has been announced that the comic book will be getting a miniseries centered on Marceline and Princess Bubblegum playing together in a band. The series will be titled "Marceline And The Scream Queens".

The miniseries will be released in July, 2012.

Format
Each issue includes at least two comics: The lead story is written by North and drawn in the style of the cartoon by Paroline and Lamb; and one or more backup stories made by an indie comic artist, drawn in their own style.

The main story features small messages at the bottom of many of the pages. This is a trademark of writer Ryan North, whose Dinosaur Comics always contain semi-hidden messages and commentary.

The first storyline in the series is a four-parter by North, split between issues #1 through #4.

Spin-off
Adventure Time: Marceline and the Scream Queens is a spin-off series created in July 2012.

Trivia

 * Pendleton Ward made a cover for the first issue of the comic.
 * Issues 1 and 3 of the comic contain messages written by Marceline in a Pigpen cipher. The known letters of the cipher are in the chart to the right. Note that the first section spells out "vampire" and the rest of the letters are apparently in alphabetical order, making it fairly easy to guess the unknown letters.
