Preview: Adventure Time #1
This week, BOOM! Studios debuted a new comic, Adventure Time, based on the Cartoon Network television series of the same name—but with all new stories. Written by Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics—N.B.: This is not a kids’ comic!) and illustrated by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb (Ice Age: Iced In), with a short extra story by Aaron Renier (The Unsinkable Walker Bean), this promises to be one of the standout all-ages comics of the year. Here’s a five-page preview to whet your appetite, and if you’re curious about how the book came together, take a look at Ryan North’s post that shows the journey from script to finished page.
