Just a quick review of this, as it's pretty similar to all the previous volumes.
Familiar characters dominate the stories as usual, including Jake, Finn, BMO, Princess Bubblegum, Ice King, Marceline and even Lemongrab. The relationships between the characters are nice in this, especially regarding PB and Marceline.
The stories are funny, weird and super enjoyable, full of humour and colour and adventure (duh). The fourth wall is, of course, practically nonexistent, as the commentary along the bottom of the pages addresses the audience directly. It really immerses you in the world of Finn and Jake, as well as adding another layer of humour. The commentary makes these comics unique from most others.
The art is awesome. I still love looking through the gallery of covers at the end. The colours are so vivid and the styles are all so wonderful. It's one of the nicest comics to just look at.
Of course, it is kinda childish. But it's an easy and relaxing read, and there are some very subtle jokes and comments that only older readers will understand.
4 stars. It's a really fun read, and I love all the characters so much!

This was another great installment of the Adventure Time comic. In this volume one of Princess Bubblegum's experiments gone wrong wreaks havoc on the candy kingdom and most of Ooo. The best part is that we get to see Marceline and Princess Bubblegum team up to save everyone. It was very entertaining. :)

I'm always amazed by how accurately the comic captures the tone, spirit and utter joy of the cartoon. You always expect it to feel like the B-team or an homage to the original product but it's actually spot on. Plenty of panels made me laugh out loud and forced me to show them to other people. This volume is primarily focused on PB, Marceline and Lemongrab which is fine by me, and all the characters show the fluidity, humanity and craziness you'd expect from the show. It's smart, fun and just a genuinely good time to read, plus it has an amazing cover gallery at the back that I could get lost in for hours.

I'm not sure what specifically keeps me coming back to Adventure Time. The weirdness and creativity are surely important, but it might just be the colors.
In Volume Five, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline need to save the Candy Kingdom from the bubblegum that has overtaken the brains of its people. The semi-sentient bubblegum was PB's fault to begin with of course, in all of her mad scientists-ness. PB finally discover the acidic solution to their problems as they employ the help of the um...delightful Lemongrab.
These Adventure Time stories continue to use Finn & Jake as starting points for adventures, but are delightfully exploring other characters. I am specifically enjoying the backstory and development of Bubblegum's and Marceline's friendships.
Five stars for another fast-paced, quirky Adventure!
