desertcart.com: Adventure Time Vol. 1: 9781608862801: Ryan North, Braden Lamb, Shelli Paroline: Books Review: Just as great as the show but in comic book form. - "Adventure Time", despite being marketed as a children's show, is a surprisingly dark and mature universe. As often as there are lighthearted silly adventures, there are nuggets of sadness, anticipation, and dire seriousness in the stories. This comic, while being the first of what is to be a series, remains fairly lighthearted as much of the show, it successfully captures the humorous and simultaneously dark aspects of the cartoon. The visual feel of the book is lively and exciting and takes advantage of the medium in conveying the story to the reader. Bother children and young adults will enjoy this book and will look forward to the next installment. Review: Yessss! - Love this show, love this comic, sooo happy to be able to finally get it in TPB! Pros: Ryan North is a perfect fit for Adventure Time! Story kept as canon as possible! TPB = no ads! Cover gallery for the huge number of alternate covers, many by popular indie artists! Includes Free Comic Book Day story (idk about you but when I made to my my local comic shop for FCBD they had already given out all of the adventure time books) Cons: B-side stories by different writers/artists not included (ryan north posted that they would be collected in a different trade at a later date, I was unable to get anything from boom to confirm this though) :c

Awesome!
I ordered this for my brother-in-law, he's a fan of the show and he's a comic book fan, I know he's going to love it! He hasn't received it yet, but I am positive it will be well received! It is incredible, the colors, the artwork, it's just AWESOME and I love it! I want to order one for myself now! Super fast shipping, etc. etc. etc. I can't say enough good things! :-)

A must have for adventure time fans
First I’m going to say I got mine used because I didn’t want to pay almost $20 for a $10 book. I wasn’t sure what to expect but overall the condition of the book was not bad at all. The biggest problem was that it is damaged from the edge. The other issues were minor but were because the seller packaged the book in a vacuum packed bag meaning the edges were just being tortured during shipping. Now In terms of the story it was great, funny, and interesting just like the show I mean it’s Ryan North after all. If your a fan of Adventure time than I would highly recommend getting into these books.

It's like another Adventure Time Episode!
When I first heard there were comics of the show, I wasn't initially sold on the idea, and got a 'cheap, shoddy cash tie in' vibe. ...But the recommendations were all so good I overcame my wariness and bought the first collected volume. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. The comic conveys the same wit and humor as the show, and being in-canon, within the same continuity as the cartoon, makes it feel all the better, like it's not just some cheap side-project. The "Adventure Time TP Vol 01" collects the primary story from the first four issues, forming what feels like a complete episode in this book. As my understanding of it goes, the issues have a 'primary' story that runs alongside 'secondary' stories illustrated by independent artists. The Trade Paperbacks collect only the primary story, but if you're like me and tend to wait for collected volumes like this, instead of purchasing individual issues as they come out, this is still well worth the price. I heartily recommend this to anyone who's a fan of the show!

Great Graphic Novel!!!
My 11 year old & 13 year old daughter's are both very into Adventure Time. My 11yr old not so much into reading, so I knew she'd love this graphic novel because she loves comics and when she does read chapter books she definitely likes them to have pictures. This book is really bright and colorful, full of Adventure Time art along with the graphic novel. Without counting pages I'd say about 1/3 of this book at the end is full of Adventure Time artwork along with a cover gallery. Which is nice for kids who love to look at the pictures and also draw. The book is 6 1/2" X 10" in size. I think my daughter will love it and anyone who is into Adventure Time.

Great Purchase
My daughter loves Adventure Time and enjoying reading all the differences from the televised show versus the book. It was a fast and wonderful reading experience for her. Highly recommend.

Don't bother reading reviews, just buy it
I LOVE the little notes that the writers leave in the margin. Would buy again just for that. The story itself is as lovely and charming as you would expect for adventure time. The print quality is spectacular and the images are stellar. I so badly want to frame some pages.

Admittedly I am 23 years old and an avid comic book reader. I also happen to adore Adventure Time the TV-Series! When I first heard of the comic book series, I was a bit skeptical, however the artwork is as of taken out of the cartoon series and the writing is so true to the wit and characters of the Land of Ooh! Adventure Time Volume 1 was a pleasure to read and runs at a good pace with a solid story and delivers all the pizzazz and bacon pancakes the TV-series has to offer!

Lo cogí con un poco de miedo por si no mantenía la calidad de la serie, pero el cómic no decepciona. En esta aventura Finn y Jake se enfrentan al Lich, y por supuesto, está lleno de las princesas y de las típicas locuras de la serie. Lo que más me llamó la atención son los comentarios a pie de página de los autores, increíbles.

L'ho acquistato per poter far esercitare mio nipote a leggere in inglese. I personaggi sono simpaticissimi, io lo aiuto con la pronuncia e traducendogli le parole nuove. E' arrivato in buono stato, perfettamente imballato insieme ad altre cose da me ordinate. Sono soddisfatta.

Da ich nach langer Suche in den städtischen Comicläden nichts von Adventure Time gefunden habe, war ich wirklich froh hier auf Amazon diesen Sammelband zu finden! Zum Inhalt muss man denke ich wenig sagen: Die Comics sind großartig, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und vor allem mit vielen Anspielungen zur Serie und anderen aus den Internet bekannten Dingen! Ansonsten sind insgesamt 5 Comics in diesem Sammelband vorhanden + Zeichnungen der Künstler und der Deckblätter aus den Einzelcomcis! Ich kann nur jedem, der die Serie Adventure Time mag, dieses Comicbuch zu bestellen. Das Englisch darin ist wirklich nicht schwer und die Details sind einfach unglaublich ausgeprägt!

1話は、アニメと同様の流れかと思いきや、 別の話しでした、(でもそこが良いと思ってる) ご存知のOPもコミックならではのアレンジで面白かったし リーフの表紙であったと思われるイラストが最後にまとめてあったり 英語なんか読めなくてもストーリーは大体理解できるし、コマ遊びがあったりみていて楽しい。 ATは日本ではグッツさえまだあまり輸入されてきていないし、 これは買っておいて損はないと思う 2も買ったので、今度は性転換シリーズかもしくはハブルガムとマーセリンの話しを検討中
