Of the various tie-in comics in the Adventure Time expanded universe, I think the most effective are the spin-off miniseries, often focusing on fan favorite characters who have a relatively limited time in the show itself, and tying them more directly to the events of the show as it began wrapping up its bittersweet run in 2018.
Beginning of the End, written by Ted Anderson and illustrated by Marina Julia, continues the series' strong replication of the TV show's voice and style while also bringing some unique ideas. Serving as a fun and nostalgic retrospective for many of the weird one-shot characters and plot twists of the show thanks to a strange time-eating entity, this comic is a great nostalgic send off for fans of the show.
