It was great, funny. My only beef with it was the little author notes at the bottom of the pages that kept distracting me from the story. Seriously, just don't do it.

I’m happy I found a series of graphic novels I really like and has a lot of volumes so I won’t run out of reading material anytime soon

Time travel always seems like a good idea at the time— y'know? But then at the same time, but later— whah. That could have gone better. (So you do.)

This issue is so ridiculous? And also so great? There was a darkness to this issue that I didn't expect, which started with the creepy-crawly feeling that BMO was up to something Very Not Good in making the Finn and Jake robots. That feeling only intensified the more I read, and it didn't even entirely fade once everything had been resolved.

I did love the focus on Princess Bubblegum's intelligence herein, and the blatant reference to her relationship with Marceline (!!!!), as well as the alteration in her relationship with Finn fifteen years in the future. This issue combined a lot of the more childish elements of "Adventure Time" with its more adult elements and blended them in such a way that even though everything was dark and kind of depressing, it also had a light and fluffy feeling to it that made me feel like everything was going to be okay.

That being said, the idea that such a future could exist for these characters, even on an alternate timeline, is painful. Really painful. And I didn't expect to experience that kind of pain with these comics, but I enjoyed it an awful lot.

Volume 2 of the Adventure Timr comics were slightly less enjoyable than the first. If only because it mostly centred around time travelling and robots from the future, which seemed kind of... infantile and obvious. Maybe it sounds pretentious and optimistic, but usually Adventure Time mixes in the generic cool cartoon fantasy stuff with something a little bit different and puts a different spin on it. This mostly felt like... robots from the future.

I still enjoyed the characters though, and like in Volume 1 I loved the little writer notes written at the bottom of most pages.
