Adventure Time Ice King 1Adventure Time Ice King #1 – BOOM! Studios finally gives the villain of Adventure Time his own miniseries. The Ice King has always been the villain in the Land of Ooo, kidnapping princesses, messing with Finn and Jake, and generally being a weirdo with his gender-flipped dream journal. But there more to him that that! When he wakes up one morning and finds his beloved Gunther the penguin gone, he embarks on a journey to find him. Both tragic and funny, the Ice King is more complex than the usual cartoon villain. This series will help enlighten fans more about what makes him tick.
