Oni Press is thrilled to reveal the first glimpse of the captivating covers for ADVENTURE TIME #1 - the inaugural issue of a thrilling new monthly series set to launch in April 2025.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP), is proud to share a first look at the mathematical covers for ADVENTURE TIME #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of an exciting new monthly series debuting in April 2025! Featuring a rotating cast of cutting-edge creative talents 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 - Oni and WBDGCP are proud to kick off a fantastic new era of epic comic book adventure for Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, and the cast of literally thousands that call Ooo home!

"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 comics 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, ha!"

Gracing the shelf covers of issue #1 are totally algebraic artists Nick Winn (Bloody Mary), who is writing and drawing the first story arc "BEST OF BUDS"; David Nakayama (Star Wars: Ahsoka) (also available in a gold foil variant and as a striking black-and-white variant); Trung Le Nguyen (The Magic Fish) (also available as a silver foil variant); and Eisner Award winner Tillie Walden (On a Sunbeam, The Walking Dead: Clementine).

ADVENTURE TIME #1 will also feature variants from Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo) and Eisner Award winner Erica Henderson (Harley Quinn)!

"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!"

This slew of radical covers is topped off with not one, but two sketch covers! These won't be your dad's sketch covers though, no sir! In addition to a standard white sketch cover, the new Adventure Time series will feature a new series of pantone color sketch covers! Each color to reflect one of the rotating cast of characters who will be populating the Land of Ooo over the first year of the title, beginning with the "Finn Blue" Sketch Variant on issue #1!

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, Derek Ballard, and (so many!) more yet to be revealed!
