As with any anthology-style collection, you’re going to have stories that are amazing and some that are okay and some you don’t really connect to. This one was no exception. Some of the stories were so great I didn’t want them to end while others were just alright. There were none that I completely hated and they all had their own charm. I will say that this is one of the most fun in terms of artwork. It was so cool to see those beloved characters in various forms with each artist’s rendering. All of the artwork was amazing. It took me a little bit to get used to the idea of changing the original style of the characters, but by the end I just loved the artwork and all of the reimaginings of the characters and the Land of Ooo. The two that stood out the most to me were Greg Smallwood‘s “The Greatest Warrior Ever” (damn, that one was so good) and Marguerite Sauvage‘s “Lost in Space”. Also, shout out to Art Baltazar and Evgeny Yakovlev for some adorably amazing artwork. Overall, a good book for fans of Adventure Time. This one would probably be a bit hard to follow for those who haven’t seen the show or at least have a passing knowledge of the characters/premise. I already got the second volume and am excited to read more. Goodreads |
