  Back to the Ice King, later on in the issue we encounter, THE ICE QUEEN! How wacky is this? It’s actually a big deal, this is the first time we’ve seen a crossover with the fictional-fictional universe of Fionna and Cake. Granted, this version of the Ice Queen is just a robot but it`s still cool. A line, following asking her creator why he left her alone for 200 years was actually pretty damn sad. Ice King immediately and cheerfully begins to destroy his creation who asks, “Why? Why did you create me just to do this?” and I promise you it never gets mentioned again. It certainly doesn’t here. Why you gotta be so cold AT? Follow that with a scene where Ice King explains the torture of being so old and having so many painful memories and so much loss that’s great, “Finn, when you get older you realize some things...memories blow so hard sometimes” and you have a great issue of Adventure Time.

  Furthermore, this is the best licensed comic I've ever read. KaBOOM and their creators are telling wonderful original tales " it truly is a golden age when you consider also Regular Show #1 released last week. Read Full Review

  With all that said, this issue is a great jumping on point for readers that may have been on the fence about this series. This issue is a wonderful example of why Adventure Timehas been so popular for Boom! Studios and why this is the hottest selling all-ages book out there right now. Read Full Review

  As always, the backups provide a great place for some lesser known talent to shine while bringing a style to Adventure Time that probably wouldn't be allowed for a full book. Honestly, most of the time the backups are my favorite parts, and Sina Grace and S. Steven Struble's "Opposite Day" and Reed, Grant, and Jai Nitz with Pranas T. Naujokaitis have a cute two-page in "Ninja Princess." Read Full Review
