ADVENTURE TIME: THE BUBBLINE COLLEGE SPECIAL #1
Creator: Caroline Cash
Experience all the fun of college (and none of the stress) in this giant-sized comic spectacular starring Princess Bubblegum and Marceline! What, do you think Ice King should get to have all the fun?! Heck nah! Fanfics are cool and all, but you know what’s even cooler? Peering into alternate universes—and Prismo’s got the perfect one in mind . . . Princess Bubblegum has just started school at Ooo University (double majoring in chemistry and princess, of course!). But between difficult roommates, overreaching bodyguards, assassination attempts, and—more importantly—a full class schedule, will Bubblegum be able to survive her first year in college?! With the help of one super-cool, super-mysterious flying vampire who she is mayybeee falling in love with, it shouldn’t be all that hard. Turns out Marceline and Bubblegum are made for each other in any universe!
"I've been a fan of the show since it came out," said writer and artist Caroline Cash. "I remember watching it when it premiered on Cartoon Network. I think I was 14 years old? It completely shaped my comics making career as well, the first comics I read (outside of manga and newspaper comics) were by people who worked on Adventure Time. Since the show ended, I didn't think I would ever have a chance to work on anything Adventure Time related, so this has been a bit of a dream come true.
Featuring covers by Caroline Cash, Robyn Smith (Nubia: Real One), and Chloé Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), don’t be tardy– get ADVENTURE TIME: THE BUBBLINE COLLEGE SPECIAL #1 when it hits stores on August 20, 2025!
