Back to the land of Ooo! Adventure time has been such an amazing fandom and I love it so much. I can basically hear the comic as I read it. Brightly colored and the comic drawings seem to have more structure than the wiggly animation that I know and love.

The bright colors of Ooo and the very dramatic expressions are so much fun to read. This world is full of crazy adventures and it's always so fun to see what the two boys are up to!

I'm a long time fan of Adventure Time and this brought me back to this wonderful world. I really enjoyed the variety of art styles used in the story. The stories were al fun and i liked the inclusion of the shorts. This was great collection and i want to continue with this series!

I finished this book in one sitting on my tablet. I am a 90s baby and I love adventure time, it’s one of my favorite cartoons. I actually really wanna get a lumpy space princess tattoo next. I have a Jake hat and I have an adventure time dress - like I am a mega fan. When I tell you this graphic novel hit the spot I loved it so much.

You as a reader are able to interact and say hi to every character, including Tree Trunks, Ice King, Marceline and Lumpy Space Princess. Bubblegum Princess is obviously a main character as well. We even are introduced to computer princess or she is part of new episodes I haven’t seen yet or she’s a new character that was created. I love her.

I was able to see insights into different characters that I didn’t remember or didn’t know like details about ice King’s past and details about Jake and Finn’s friendship.

There were so many adventures in this graphic novel that it was truly like going for an amusement park, and I felt like I had the best Saturday ever. Each story is truly such a wild fun ride that leaves you giggling and happy. The artwork is so well done. The banter and humor had me in stitches.

If you are looking for a good book for a family time or if you’re an adventure time fan, I would heavily recommend this if you also just are looking for a good cozy, fun graphic novel to read I heavily recommend this one.

I personally do not think you need to know about the characters in order to enjoy this. You’ll be able to see from context clues that are provided each of the powers of the characters.. for example Jake can shift his body quite a bit and that’s made pretty clear throughout the book. If you do feel inclined, I obviously encourage watching the show as well just because I am a huge fan, but I personally don’t think you need context in order to enjoy this.

Thank you so much for this ARC! I appreciate the opportunity to leave honest feedback voluntarily.

So fun and nostalgic!

Finn and Jake go on many adventures in this volume (a little over 100 pages). They deal with the Ice King, Computer Princess, many new characters, a disco-dancing cat, multiple dance battles, and many more shenanigans.

I really love this art style, it is so nostalgic and lively. I especially loved all of the different issue covers and their variants, those were all so much fun! I sped through this in an afternoon, easily could've done it in one sitting.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

This was cute! I'm actually in the middle of a rewatch of Adventure Time so it felt like an appropriate time to read one of the comics. It was a fun little jaunt through Ooo. This comic book felt a lot like the episodes - quick little adventures with a through line of trying to find Billy so they can locate the Enchiridion. My favorite of the issues in the volume was the one where all the character attend an art gallery and get sucked into the paintings. Not only did it remind me of the other book I'm reading, The Macabre by Kosoko Jackson, but it was stylistically the segment of the book that was the most fun. Each different painting had a different style of art and seeing all the characters I know and love rendered in other art forms was cute.

If you're a fan of the show this is the perfect way to extend that story a little farther and to revisit some of your favorite characters.

Thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for sending this my way.

First question: Are you guys working on the next one already? I absolutely loved this vist to Ooo.

Review:

OK, so my review might lean toward slightly biased as I'm a fan of the cartoon show but this was such a happy and fun read. Spotting my favourite characters was delightful.

The story flows from panel to panel and I loved the expressive and detailed art. It felt like there was always something to spot along the way.

The art is vibrant and represents The Land of Ooo that I remember from the show. Very nostalgic.
Music and movement is also a big focus in the story and though I think that's hard to capture in comic panels generally, I thought it was done so well.

I had to laugh at some of the expressions on Finn's face. It reminded me that he's a kid and wants to get things his own way. And Jake's patience and friendship is as strong as ever.

Thinking about character voice, I think it stayed true to what I remember the characters being like. There was no stumble or break as I was reading to question if a character seemed different for example.

Both fans and newcomers to the characters and world will enjoy this Volume. It's a cosy adventure with a delightful and quirky bunch of characters; bringing a message of friendship and working together.

Also, the bonus shorts at the end were a little treat especially as it featured Tree Trunks!

Gratitude:
Thank you so much to Nick Winn, all artists involved, Oni Press and Netgalley for making an ARC available to review. It's probably my most favourite ARC of the year and an absolute pleasure to read.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Oni Press for this arc!

5/5 stars!

This was a really fun visit back to the land of Ooo! This really felt just like a continuation of the show. All the characters had the same personality and sense of humour as the og show, and this fresh new story was a great addition to the show. I loved volume four with the dance battle the best, of course with the very stylish cat queen and her kittens!! This left me with many questions though. Who is computer princess, and why am I getting bad vibes from her? Is Billy ok? Does the Enchiridion have some sort of hold over Finn? I'm super excited for volume two, and want to rewatch this show again!

I’ve always been a huge fan of the show, so reading this was an absolute joy and such a nostalgic experience. The story flowed so smoothly, and I loved how much attention was given to all the little details that made the Land of Ooo feel alive again. It was amazing to revisit this world and catch up with all the characters I’ve loved for so long, and it really felt like a natural continuation of the adventures I remember so fondly.

Adventure Time? Yes, please. I love this show and I love this short Adventure Time volume. The pictures were so bright and amazing -- how is it do short though? More, please!

An incredibly fun return to the Land of Ooo that felt like you got dropped into episodes of the show and it was pitch perfect as the adventures were silly, the characters felt like themselves (and I could easily hear the voice actors in my head) and it didn't feel like I was missing any Adventure Time Lore. A fun way to spend some time reading.

Special Thanks to Oni Press and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review

This was a fun read if you love the show ❤️ I loved how all the stories were just little adventures Jake and Finn were going on! The colors are very pleasing and I loved anytime marcline talked her speech bubbles were dark vs everyone else were white. The little touches like that made the book even more special!

Adventure Time continues to entertain. I laughed. I laughed some more. Annnnnd laughed again.

"Best of Buds" covers all the usual fantastic-ness you have come to expect from Adventure Time and more. I read this out loud with my 9 and 11 year olds and they loved it too.


Thank you to netgalley for a copy to enjoy.

I enjoy Adventure Time stories. They're always fun and creative, and this new series was no exception. In this volume, we are introduced to a new princess - Computer Princess, so I'm curious what her deal is. We also get to see the Afronauts, who are just goofy. My favorite issue takes place at an art show. I've seen this idea of using different art styles before, but I really enjoyed seeing it anyway. I recommend this for anyone who enjoys Adventure Time or anyone looking for a cute and unique cozy read.

Adventure Time will always have a special place in my heart, I watched the series whenever it came out and it was so fun going back to the land of Ooo! If you have ever seen any episode of Adventure Time you will know what to expect and have a fun time with Finn and Jake saving princesses, singing, and being heros! I am so ready to know what happens next with the gang and, what's going on with Billy 👀

Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!


🎶 Come on, grab your friends. We'll go to very distant lands 🎶
This is my first adventure time comic I've read and it was a good time.
The art translates very well into comic form with vibrant colors and characters that seem to leap off the pages.
There were musical numbers in it too and I was surprised at how well they fit in a two dimensional space.

I've been a fan of the series for a long time, and it felt like I was reading through some episodes of it!
I may be biased, adventure time is one of my comfort shows and I named my dog after Jake.

I'm also going to side with Jake and his assessment that raspberry flavor being gross.
I couldn't imagine that being all I smelled for an extended period of time. Yuck.

I felt like I could hear the character's voices, and appreciated that nearly all of them got a cameo. Although the comic is short, it is jam packed with adventures!

If you enjoyed the show and need more adventure time, definitely give this one a chance!
It also works as a good introduction to the series too, if you are curious.

I haven't done a Netgalley review in a few years. What better to return with than Adventure Time?

This is the start of a new graphic novel series, and it's a lot of fun. I felt quite nostalgic reading it. I've not watched the show in a long time, and its been a while since I read any of the original comics. This was a lovely return to the Land of Ooo. So many old favourites showed up, all of them as weird and funny as I remember. Alongside, there are some new characters too. Computer Princess fits right in with Bubblegum and the gang.

It's a pretty typical Adventure Time story. I didn't feel like it was doing much new, but at the same time, does it need to? Adventure Time works because it's Adventure Time, I wouldn't want a story to stray too far from what I know and love about the show.

This is only the beginning of the story, and I think I will keep my eyes open for volume 2 when that eventually comes out, because man, that cliff hanger!

A fun read that I would recommend to any Adventure Time fan.

I love Adventure Time and reading this with my kids was so fun 😄

We’re on the edge of our seats to know what’s going on with Billy and Computer Princess! Then the shorts at the end had me cracking up 😆

Excited to read more!

Thanks to NetGalley & and Oni Press for the advance copy 💝 Releases November 25th!

Adventure Time: Best of Buds captures everything that made the show a cult favorite: chaotic heart, surreal humor, and bursts of unexpected depth. This collection highlights Finn and Jake’s best bromance moments across various creators, giving each story its own visual rhythm but keeping that candy-coated melancholy Adventure Time is known for. It’s not a linear arc, more a mixtape of weirdness and warmth; a love letter to friendship, nonsense, and the occasional existential crisis. Perfect for fans of Steven Universe, Bee and PuppyCat, Regular Show, or Calvin and Hobbes.

I've always loved adventure time and I really enjoyed reading this! I don't usually read comic books but this was a nice reading reset, Funny as always with Jake and Finn! Loved it

This was pure joy from start to finish. The stories bounce between silly and surprisingly sweet, and it genuinely feels like watching the show again - just in book form. Even if you’ve never seen Adventure Time, you can still jump right in; everything you need to know about the characters comes through naturally.

If you love cozy, chaotic adventures with heart, you need this one on your shelf. It’s nostalgic, funny, and full of the kind of whimsy that makes you feel like a kid again.

I grew up watching Adventure Time, so reading this graphic novel felt like stepping right back into that wild, wonderful world. I finished it in one sitting and honestly had the best time, it captures everything I love about the show: the chaos, the humor, and that weirdly heartfelt magic that sneaks up on you.

You get to hang out with all the classics - Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Ice King, Tree Trunks, and yes, the one and only Lumpy Space Princess (forever iconic). There’s even a new face, Computer Princess, who I adored instantly, such a fun addition to the gang.

Each short story feels like a mini adventure, full of strange quests, dance battles, talking animals, and ridiculous one-liners that had me grinning the entire time. The artwork is bright, nostalgic, and packed with detail- it perfectly nails the show’s energy.

i’ve read almost all of the adventure time comics so i was very excited to get this as an arc! it’s as always fun, silly & expressive. i think issues three & four were my favourites, i loved all the different art styles & seeing more of finn & jakes family :) excited for volume two to see more of computer princess & whatever is happening with billy!
