But I’ll try not to spoil anything more, so you’ll have some incentive to pick up this wicked fun little book!įrom cover to cover, the Adventure Time 2017 Spooktacular is… well, spooky. Peppermint Butler is great at hiding his more sinister side from Princess Bubblegum, and even Finn and Jake… until, of course, they need help and he asks for their souls in return. I also enjoyed how “Candy In the House”, written by Chris Lackey and illustrated by Kate Sherron, takes a new twist on the Hansel and Gretel/old hag living in a candy house concept. His means of protecting the prince remind me of a misguided parent trying to keep their kid from getting hurt by their first love, and that’s kind of oddly sweet. While I don’t find Butterscotch Butler as creepy as his Peppermint counterpart, I do find his unfailing loyalty to Prince Gumball really endearing. I adore the Fionna and Cake verse, and I was tickled pink to see them appear in this anthology. Written by Alyssa Wong, illustrated by Heather Danforth, and lettered by Warren Montgomery, this story follows Butterscotch Butler as he attempts to keep Marshall Lee away from Prince Gumball. My favorite story in this year’s Spooktacular was “Gumball’s Masquerade”. No matter how he presents himself, one thing is clear: this little candy man is hiding something big behind his beady little eyes. Peppermint Butler’s questionable alliance with the devil is explored quite a few times, even in the Fionna and Cake universe where he’s Butterscotch Butler instead. The 2017 Spooktacular, though, is in a league of its own. I love how dark and weird Adventure Time can be. The Adventure Time 2017 Spooktacular from KaBOOM! explores his general creepiness in four short comics collected as an anthology, each one a little different from the last. Several of the characters - Peppermint Butler included - are vaguely terrifying. In Obsidian, set a few years after the series finale, Marceline has grown into a much more emotionally mature person while retaining her playfulness.Writers: Grady Hendrix, Alyssa Wong, Adam Cesare, Chris LackeyĪrtists: Heather Danforth, Christine Larsen, Slimm Fabert, Kate Sherronįor a series that’s mostly about candy people, a human boy, and his dog, Adventure Time often takes some pretty dark turns. However, it is still unknown if she overcame her emptiness in the end. She also learned to be more empathetic towards others. Marceline had learned to mature, which is proven by accepting her immortality by declaring that she can hang out with Princess Bubblegum forever. Towards the end of The Dark Cloud, her personality changed slightly. She keeps a journal that she uses as inspiration for songs like those on "Marceline's Closet." When Marceline read the lyrics of "Remember You", the song that Simon Petrikov had written for her, she started to cry. Marceline finds it easier to express her feelings through music, as seen in "Fry Song" and "I'm Just Your Problem", but has trouble expressing them in other ways. She is also very independent and has often acted without regard to Finn or his friends in early episodes. For example, in "What Was Missing" she appeared to be more aggressive towards Princess Bubblegum than she usually is. However, she was willing to give up Hambo to help Simon reconnect with his wife Betty Grof. Later, Princess Bubblegum got Hambo back in the episode "Sky Witch". She was emotionally very attached to her teddy bear, Hambo, which was given to her by Simon Petrikov After Ash sold it to Maya, she was angry and broke up with him. In "Vamps About", Marceline agreed to Peppermint Butler making guns to kill her as an emergency, stating that she could have snapped and killed anyone at any time. In "Red Starved", Marceline slowly becomes vicious and sinister after being deprived of food and tries to seduce Jake so she can eat him. It is implied that some of her more malevolent traits stem solely from her vampire instincts.
