Oni Press And Warner Bros. Trumpet The Return Of ‘Adventure Time’ To Comics

Adventure Time

Grab your friends and head to distant lands because Adventure Time is coming back to comics. Oni Press announced a new partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Cartoon Network to bring the beloved, award-winning library of Adventure Time comic books and graphic novels back into print with brand-new, lovingly crafted compendium collections, beginning in fall 2024 with the Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 1 and Adventure Time: The Fionna and Cake Compendium

In addition to its ongoing collection program for the library, the new partnership between Oni and WBDGCP, will also encompass an array of all-new series and graphic novels – the first comics inspired by the hit animated series in more than five years and slated to begin publication in 2025. 

“For nearly a decade, the Adventure Time line of comics was a magnet for some of the most intensely talented voices working in the comics medium, drawing in an entirely new generation of readers in the process,” said Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Building upon the genius of Pendleton Ward’s inventive, influential, and iconic animated series, this enormous wealth of comics creativity has been out of print for far too long – and it’s an immense privilege to bring it to Oni Press, where we aim to bring forth new collections that will meet the high expectations of both original fans and new readers alike…and start to craft all-new adventures for Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and more.”
