Last year Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products & Cartoon Network announced an exciting new partnership promising the return of Adventure Time comics both old and new. After releasing the Adventure Time Compendium Vol 1 a few months ago, today Oni Press announced a brand new Adventure Time ongoing series arriving this April. This Adventure Time ongoing series will feature a rotating cast of cutting-edge creators and cartoonists.
Official press release and details below:
Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comic books and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to announce ADVENTURE TIME #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of an exciting new monthly series debuting in April 2025! In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Cartoon Network, Oni is proud to kick off a fantastic new era of epic adventure for Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, and the cast of literally thousands that call Ooo home, featuring a rotating cast of cutting-edge creative talents across its first year including acclaimed cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (Bloody Mary), 2024 Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo), Asia Simone (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll), Jorge Monlongo (Over the Garden Wall: Hallow Town), Brenda Hicke (My Little Pony) and former Adventure Time writer/storyboard artist and 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow) … and even more yet to come!
Beginning with part one of the all-new story arc “BEST OF BUDS” by cartoonist Nick Winn in April 2025, Oni’s all-new ADVENTURE TIME #1 will kick off in whimsical force as it rushes headlong into an unexpected new quest for Finn the Human and Jake the Dog that will bring new challenges, new creatures, and a brand-new princess crashing into their path. And, then, in the months to follow: All-new stories and unexpected surprises from cartoonists Caroline Cash, Derek Ballard, and more of the most inspired talents working in comics today!
“ADVENTURE TIME was such a huge part of me growing up,” said series writer and artist Nick Winn.” Not only was it hilarious, but it had such an emotional intelligence that very few shows could pull off back then. Being able to revisit the land of Ooo through Oni Press has really been such a joy and a challenge to build something new while still keeping the energy and charm the show cast on me in middle school!”
“We’re thrilled to welcome readers back to distant lands with all new adventures featuring their favorite ADVENTURE TIME characters”, said series editor Megan Brown. “The land of Ooo has long been home to some of the most radically unique comics, and we’re excited to add to their rich legacy with an incredible creative team crafting a story that is full of friendship, heart, and wild new challenges for Finn & Jake to overcome. BEST OF BUDS is the perfect jumping-off point for new readers—and a return to form for old friends!”
Fantasy and friendship unite as the beloved animation icons of the ADVENTURE TIME universe return to comics for the first time in nearly a decade to pick up where their Eisner Award-winning adventures left off! It all begins in the all-new ADVENTURE TIME #1 – coming to comic shops everywhere in 2025 with creators Nick Winn, Caroline Cash, Asia Simone, Jorge Monlongo, Brenda Hickey, Derek Ballard, and (so many!) more yet to be revealed!
