Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Adventure Time Vol 1: Best Of Buds" by Nick Winn & Derek M Ballard. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Netgalley synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers to please keep that in mind!)
"C'mon grab your friends and head to distant lands for a brand - new ADVENTURE (er, TIME!)!
When Finn and Jake save the newly installed computer princess from the clutches of the evil Ice King - he just wants a bride. OK, is that too much to ask?! - the two escort her back to the Computer Kingdom, where she gives the best of buds a new quest: find the powerful guide for heroes, the Enchiridon, and bring it back to her so she can scan it for her digital archive! But where are they going to find it? And how?!
From songwriting with lovesick poets to attending art shows with megalomaniacs to dance battles with the Cat Queen in the funky reaches of outer space. Finn and Jake find themselves on a truly mathematical (and dare we say... radical?!) journey on their quest to complete CP's request - but surely nothing can stop the best of buds! That is to say, surely their friendship is totally, completely, definitely not about to be put to the test! Right?
Written and drawn by Annie - nominated designer for TV and feature animation Nick Winn, highlighting a host of talented artists and featuring backup stories by Adventure Time alum Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), this new Adventure Time series is one you won't want to miss!
Collects issues #1-4 of the new Oni Press Adventure Time series."
I did receive this book as an ARC on Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this is because as you all know I love graphic novels, but what you might not know is Oni Press is one of my favourite graphic novel publishers and Adventure time is one of my all time favourite cartoons. So when I saw the three combined I knew I had to apply for this one. Friends, I am so ecstatic that I got to read this. This graphic novel truly sent me back, to me and Jamie binging the adventure time series at the start of our relationship, and gave me all of the nostalgia I could ever want. I loved every moment of reading it and had so much fun. I actually managed to get through this in two sittings in a single day (and honestly, I would of done it in one if I didn't have to stop because of other responsibilities), I genuinely would never need a reminder of how much I love Adventure time, but if anything was going to remind me it would have been this, and I definitely think I'm up for a rewatch after reading this. I'm so excited to see what the future entails due to this graphic novel, and I am 100% going to be grabbing the next ones as and when they come out. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who loves Adventure time, heck, even if you've never watched Adventure time I would recommend this as it's just such a fun read.
I gave this book a 4/5 star rating on Goodreads.
This book comes out on the 25th November 2025!
