Adventure Time, the popular Cartoon Network series that spawned a 75-issue comic run at BOOM! Studios about a decade ago, will return to comics in April, courtesy of Oni Press.
The series will feature rotating creative teams, starting with animator and Bloody Mary creator Nick Winn. The comic will bring back Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum and the other residents of The Land Of Ooo for the ongoing series.
“Adventure Time was such a huge part of me growing up,” said Winn.” Not only was it hilarious, but it had such an emotional intelligence that very few shows could pull off back then. Being able to revisit the land of Ooo through Oni Press has really been such a joy and a challenge to build something new while still keeping the energy and charm the show cast on me in middle school!”
Other creators announced for future issues include Eisner Award-winning PeePee PooPoo creator Caroline Cash, former Adventure Time writer/storyboard artist and 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll illustrator Asia Simone, animator and comic artist Jorge Monlongo and Brenda Hickey, creator of Don’t Call me Sidekick.

The first issue features variant covers by David Nakayama and Trung Le Nguyen:
BOOM!’s Adventure Time series kicked off in 2012, about two years after the cartoon debuted, and continued through 2018, around the same time the cartoon ended. Created by Pendleton Ward, the show ran for 10 seasons on Cartoon Network. This new comic series follows the Adventure Time Compendium, which collected the first 35 issues of the BOOM! series and was released by Oni last year.
Adventure Time #1 arrives in stores April 9.
