With a plot steeped deep in Adventure Time lore, Adventure Time #50 wasn’t for me, but more knowledgeable fans may get a kick out of it. The comic is technically sound though with creative lettering from Steve Wands to show how overblown and melodramatic the Lich is, bright and spooky colors from Maarta Laiho, and fun, expressive art from Ian McGinty. If you like a certain type of pet or hero cycles, the last few pages will be a treat.
Delightful for readers of any age, Masked Mayhem is a fun and adorable read set in the Adventure Time universe. With Leth’s absolutely charming BMO as the central character and the darling art from Underwood, Ayoub, and Moore, this costumed party hopping adventure is one part mystery and three parts a reminder that friendship is mathematical.
Over the television year, not only do specific shows and specific seasons stand out, but so do specific episodes. Certain episodes rise above the rest of the television landscape in a variety of ways, whether it’s due to excellent direction, strong character exploration, or something else entirely. For the past few years, Sound on Sight …
Adventure Time # 39 keeps the final part of the story arc strong and enjoyable. The comic will surely delight readers of all ages for its jokes, fast paced story, and beautiful artwork.
For a comic such as Adventure Time, the writing reflects a maturity in it for adults and humor for children. Hastings stops to reflect on the important role of food in the everyday world and its role in society. Food and cooking in the land of Ooo plays a large role in keeping social order and peace. Without food, the citizens of the Ooo become restless and dangerous. The concept gives readers food for thought.
Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward’s kids show turned Cartoon Network cult sensation, is being turned into a big screen, animated movie by Warner Bros., Deadline reported Friday. Mathematical! Chris McKay and Roy Lee, both of whom were producers on The Lego Movie, and McKay of Cartoon Network’s Robot Chicken, will produce the Adventure Time movie. The …
Many critics wont to sing Adventure Time’s praises admire how gets packed into each episode’s 11-minute run time. It’s difficult to reconcile that with the very slight beginning of Marceline Gone Adrift, the six-issue kaboom! series focused on the show’s vampire/demon princess.
Adventure Time has always had a seemingly loose continuity filled with standalone stories that becomes woven together over the course of the series. Bitter Sweets, published by Boom! Studios, feels no different.
Bee and Puppycat is undoubtedly unusual and also utterly unique, which is a little surprising considering it wears it influences on its sleeve. The brain child of Natasha Allegri, Bee and Puppycat owes a lot to the shojo and magical girl genres of manga and anime, particularly Sailor Moon, with a side helping of influence from shows like Powerpuff Girls. It also takes after the animated creations by Allegri’s peers: Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, and Steven Universe. A Venn diagram illustrating the overlapping fanbases of these four properties might as well just be a single circle.
Sound on Sight takes a look at the best episodes of television that have aired so far this year. Part one includes episodes from shows such as Rick and Morty and True Detective.

At the core of Adventure Time lies childhood unbridled: a boy and his dog live together in a tree fort, defend a kingdom made of candy and a bevy of strange princesses (notably no queens) from all sorts of monsters. Their only real imperative is, like the title suggests, adventure. And that’s definitely part of it. The other part is the other part of childhood, discovering out who you are, who you want to be with, and who you will be. Adventure Time: 2014 Annual takes a time out to refocus the themes and stories on the early childhood of fan favorite female analogs Fiona and Cake.
One of the rising stars in comics didn’t get her start pencilling fill-in issues of Uncanny X-Men or Birds of Prey, but through Tumblr and a self-published webcomic. Webcomics have become a bigger deal over the past decade. Even some cartoonists like Randall Munroe of xkcd and Kate Beaton of Hark! A Vagrant have made a living through their webcomics. Without constraints …

2013 was an incredible year for standout episodes – even, in some cases, for series that didn’t necessarily have a great year overall. Prompted by this wealth of televised riches, TV editor Kate Kulzick, Televerse cohost Simon Howell, general editor Ricky D, and managing editor for TV Randy Dankievitch brainstormed and compiled their personal favorites, with only those deemed worthy by a majority making the cut. The resulting list of survivors (organized by airdate) is a wonderfully diverse picture of the medium at work in 2013, in 15-to-60 minute chunks.
Books are often the source for some of the greatest film and television adaptations, but flip the scenario and it can be said that movies and TV can also be among the greatest sources for books. Behind the scenes nonfiction offers a peak behind the curtain of the dream factory. Art books often enhance a …
I kicked off Saturday at SDCC 2013 almost indulgently, skipping the crazy lines in favor of a sit down breakfast with a group of lovely, intelligent ladies. Then I made my way over to the convention center to get in for the Ray Bradbury panel- as a fan of his, I was disappointed to miss …
On Friday, the convention kicked into full gear, with more people in attendance than the previous two days and the start of the big ticket programming in Hall H (The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones). Many of those following the TV programming at the Con opted for Ballroom 20, with Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. among …

As my Televerse cohost Simon Howell and I discussed in our Top 10 TV Series of 2013 (So Far), this has been a spectacular year for television, with many shows delivering remarkably consistent seasons (or half-seasons) of memorable, moving television. A number of series were in contention for our Top 10 but didn’t quite make …
