Oni Press October 2026 solicitations: Adventure Time: Quadruple Feature #4

Still no sign of the main series in this month's solicitations. We did get a preview of Quadruple Feature #4, the final issue of Oni Press' first Adventure Time miniseries. It will release on 14 October 2026 and cost $5. Here's the blurb:

Eisner Award–winning writer Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) and artist extraordinaire Brenda Hickey (My Little Pony) return for the last screening in the (soon-to-be) famous Adventure Time Quadruple Feature! Jake, Marceline, BMO, and Lumpy Space Princess arrive at their local movie theater with four very different ideas of what to watch. What's a stretchy dog, a vampire queen, a princess, and, er, BMO to do? Easy! Four separate tickets, please! Lumpy Space Princess may be last but she's certainly not least as she takes the stage for her directorial debut in the breakout film of the season, Quelque Chose de Curieux! (What do you mean you haven't heard of the festival award-winning, independent production Quelque Chose de Curieux?!) Starring Hollywood's newest cinema darling, Finn the Human, step into a space between the familiar and the surreal, between what is known and what is unknown, between the curious—and the curiosity . . . (The editors told LSP this copy was a bit purple and were promptly ignored.) A master class on its own, the epic finale to our Adventure Time love letter to cinema is here!

The covers, from top left, are:

Cover A by Brenda Hickey.

Cover B by Ben Turner.

Cover C by Andy Price.

Cover D black and white variant of Cover A.

Cryptozoic have shown off the factory samples for the completed core book of Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game. The game has been heavily delayed, but it's still making slow and steady progress towards release and hasn't been cancelled.

Retailer listings have appeared for Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 5, published by Oni Press. This will collect five princess-focused graphic novels previously published by BOOM! Studios. It will release on 7th April 2027 and cost $50.

Based on the description, I think the included stories will be Playing With Fire, Pixel Princesses, President Bubblegum, Brain Robbers, and Princess and Princess. It seems like Oni Press will be releasing their own prints of all the graphic novels at this rate.

I'm not sure if this will include the backup stories from these graphic novels. We might learn more when it's officially announced.

New Side Quests preview clip, review embargo lifted

The review embargo for press previews of Adventure Time: Side Quests has lifted. The preview above was released for the episode "Bros & Arrows", and lots of magazines have begun publishing interviews and articles about the series. Here's a couple of interesting things I picked out from them.

This Polygon article mentions that Pendleton Ward has returned to contribute storyboards to an episode of the show called "Rescue Princess". The last episode boarded by Ward was "High Strangeness" from the original series. Nate Cash also mentions in this interview that they completely avoided having the Lich appear.

In this interview with Animation Magazine, Nate Cash told a story that is very familiar to a lot of showrunners in animation at the moment: he pitched an original show, but it was rejected and he was asked to pitch an Adventure Time spin-off instead. For Side Quests, the crew avoided engaging with the lore of the original series, preferring standalone episodes focused on Finn and Jake.
