I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is such a fun collection - it's super short stories written and illustrated by a bunch of different people. This means that you get to experience Adventure Time from a bunch of different perspectives and in different illustration styles (one of my favorite things). Despite the different writers, the collection maintains the spirit and quirkiness of the show, and they really nailed the characterizations. If you enjoy the one-off little stories in the back of collections, this will be right up your alley.

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 [a:Greg Smallwood|7121464|Greg Smallwood|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "The Greatest Warrior Ever" (damn, that one was so good) and [a:Marguerite Sauvage|4151489|Marguerite Sauvage|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Lost in Space". Also, shout out to [a:Art Baltazar|253047|Art Baltazar|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1551835075p2/253047.jpg] and [a:Evgeny Yakovlev|13612833|Evgeny Yakovlev|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] 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.

I’ve been trying to get more into graphic novels, and this looked like a fun one to pick up! However, the problem with this was that I’ve never seen the show. So the characters were all unknown to me. But that being sat aside, some of the short graphic novels in it were just not my style, boring, and I skipped over.

This graphic novel was cute. It features mini stories by loads of different authors - there must have been at least 12 different stories in here. Each contributor used a different art style which was quite cool to see different perspectives on the characters we already know and love.

i've only seen this show a handful of times and still found this collection to be really fun and entertaining. i'm sure for someone who loves the show, it'd be a 5 star read!

I love Adventure Time but this wasn't what I thought it was. This was just a collection of random mini comics from various artists and some of them were only like 2 pages long.
