Adventure Time #27

This 2014 KaBOOM! release kicks off "Jelly Wars Part 1," and the cover by Brittney Williams perfectly captures the sprawling, chaotic charm of the Land of Ooo — a massive pile of beloved characters including Marceline, Lumpy Space Princess, the Ice King, Jake, BMO, and a crowd of familiar faces all tumbling together in a cozy indoor scene, with a glowing sword looming ominously overhead. The warm ensemble energy and hint of supernatural mischief make this a thoroughly inviting entry point into whatever purple, jelly-filled mayhem Ryan North and Jim Rugg have cooked up inside.
