Okay so hear me out. This one was definitely goofy and some points didn’t feel totally plausible/realistic, even within the adventure time world (which is really saying something - if you know, you know) but it was absolutely hilarious and the characters felt completely true to themselves. It had me laughing out loud at multiple points, and mashing together certain characters was a great move (ie Marceline and Tree Trunks, or Lemon Grab and LSP - though this one wasn’t as original as the other p...
This comic felt the most like an adventure time episode in the best possible way!
This is just adorable.
After TV episodes the likes of "BMO Noire" and "Candy Streets," I was super excited at the prospect of a whole Adventure Time comic mini-series spoofing crime fiction or noir. And as far as hardboiled gumshoes go, the demonic Peppermint Butler seems the right man for the job. But the artists don't take advantage of the opportunity to parody the genre visually. (Apart from some beguiling covers, the comic is drawn in the same bright, cheery style as the main Adventure Time series.) And the storie...
From beginning - Finn n Jake meet princess bubblegum who she was doing her experiment. Finn ask pb, he needs a sword to fight for his quest but pb got another idea that she give Finn the hammer. After few weeks, pb call p.butler to find Finn n Jake because they're got her hammer so princess bubblegum tell p.butler to find them so p.butler n his sidekick cinnamon are in charge looking for Finn n Jake. Sometimes p.butler ask Marceline n tree trunk on a quest to save other villager for help n they'...
I've never watched the TV show so it might be that I was missing some background knowledge, but the stories tended to skip silly and head straight into ridiculous.However, there were a couple of things that did make me laugh out loud and the art is interesting.It was a middle of the pack read for me, yet I think that a fan of the show might really get some enjoyment out of the situations the characters find themselves in.
Of all the Adventure Time comics I've read so far, this was been the biggest disappointment. I was hoping for something along the lines of the BMO Noir episode. Instead, this read like bad Adventure Time fanfic, as the author struggled to find ways to bring in every single character for a "guest spot" in the comic. If you are not familiar with the show, this may be the least accessible as there are references to things that have happened over the previous five seasons of the series. Even fans of...
All Adventure Time books are awesome.
Okay this one was hilarious and it was nice to have some of my favorite characters. Starchy. Treetrunks. Marceline. Cinnamon Bun.
As cute as Peppermint Butler can get -- although he's done a disservice, being smarter than this portrays him as -- but also as forgettable as Cinnamon Bun is. The plot is a good way to cycle through characters in pairings that aren't often seen in the show, but then you realize why these pairings don't intuitively work... A diversion, but nothing more.
Pro: this was surprisingly suspenseful! Con: I got kind of tired of Peppermint Butler. Pro: Marcelline. Pro: there's some surprisingly good art in here. Con: Cinnamon Bun and Starchy just aren't charismatic enough on the page to foil Peppermint Butler.
Why do I love Adventure Time so much? I think I need a therapist.
Princess Bubblegum needs a hammer for one of her experiments. Peppermint Butler promptly tries to find the whereabouts of P.B.'s hammer. Turns out she lent hers to Finn and Jake, who'd misplaced their blood sword and needed a weapon to go on a quest to retrieve it.But... where are Finn and Jake?! Without them, The Land of Ooo is in chaos. Heroes are needed to keep the peace and order of Ooo.So it's up to Peppermint Butler to come up with new heroes to defend the Kingdom.First up, Marceline
This review can also be found on my blog at: https://diminishingthoughts.wordpress...Finn and Jake are missing and obviously that’s a big problem because who will protect The Land of Ooo? Enter Peppermint Butler who believes he’s the man for the job. Translation: Peppermint Butler loses his marbles. Yea, I’d be terrified too.Straight off the bat I’ll say that the artwork was amazing! It was right there in my face and I actually had to back up a bit because of how vivid it was. The detail was ama...
The art when they went into the Land of the Dead was pretty cool. I got a kick out of the concept of the whywolves (“wolf men possessed of equal parts inquiry and bloodlust.”) And it’s always a thrill to see Lemongrab. 🍋
Peppermint Butler is the GOAT
I'd give it 2.5 stars, but it's fairer to round up as it's not bad enough to be a 2 star. However, I have to say I was pretty disappointed with this one.I've read a fair few of the Adventure Time graphic novels now, and this one is by far my least favourite. Usually I like the quirky style and unique subplots, but this one didn't really flow as well. There's a very loose overarching plot, but each chapter is completely different, and follows different characters.On the face of it, I quite like t...
This collection is a fun diversion with lots of interesting character combinations. Just wait for Lemongrab and LSP. It's a fun read.
Finn and Jake are MIA, and PB entrusts Cinnamon Bun and Peppermint Butler to lead the efforts to discover what happened. While the two get several issues on their own, including the anticlimactic finale, much of the book focuses issues on other strange pairings, like Marceline and TreeTrunks, or LSP and Lemongrab, who have isolated adventures that somewhat tie up into the main plot.The prime story is pretty weak, and the finale is intentionally anticlimactic, but the journey is worth the destina...
It was, well, meh. I was expecting more of a 'Candy Streets' or 'BMO Noir' type of mystery but it was neither. Half of it didn't put much effort into Peppermint Butler or Cinnamon Bun. After a while Pep Butler gets annoying after constantly lets out his evil side. I've also noticed that Cinnamon Bun's personality is different than he is in the show. Even the ending really disappointed me because it was super rushed on the last 2 pages, and it a 'problem solved, the end' type of ending. Overall I...
