Media Release -- Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997– and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) are beyond excited to show off the first look inside ADVENTURE TIME #2!

It's POETRY TIME! Finn and Jake may be looking for the Enchiridion, but that doesn't mean they can't help out a citizen in need! So when they stumble upon Henry Alexander, poet extraordinaire, trying to win the heart back of his lost lady love, the duo springs into action!
Joined by the never-ending pie-throwing robot N.E.P.T.R and Finn's totally not-a-crush (stop making it weird, Jake) Flame Princess, can our melodic, mellifluous, magnificent musicians help Henry craft the sickest rhymes and most epic love poetry of all time? If music is the food of love, dear friends . . .
Featuring a rotating cast of awesomely algebraic artists and writers including 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 Hickey (My Little Pony), Kenzie Bugg (Tuca and Bertie), Beck Kubrick (Coby, Alone) and former Adventure Time writer/storyboard artist and 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow); get ready for a new era of adventure in Ooo with the all-new ongoing comic book series that will make you say "Oh my Glob!"
