Oni Press June 2025 Solicitations: Adventure Time (2025) #3

Oni Press have published their advanced solicitations for June, giving us our first look at Adventure Time (2025) #3. It will be released on 4 June 2025 and retail for $5.

Here's the blurb:

It’s ART TIME! Princess Bubblegum and Marceline have made a gallery for the ages—a celebration of the finest paintings the Candy Kingdom has to offer! Best buds Finn and Jake have taken a break from their quest to find the Enchiridion to accompany Flame Princess to the show—but it turns out to be anything but a relaxing date (totally-not-a-date, Jake) when the Impressionist shows up! Seeking to create a kingdom of his own, this wannabe maestro is trapping everyone inside his totally boring paintings! What the heck! Will Finn’s algebraic drawing skills be able to stand up to the challenge? Will Jake ever get to draw any hands? WILL ICE KING STOP EATING THE ART?! From cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (Bloody Mary) and artist Jorge Monlongo (Over the Garden Wall)—the next in this first arc’s rotating cast of interior artists—and featuring a brand-new back-up story by 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalists Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), the all-new Adventure Time ongoing series continues here!

This is the third part of the Best of Buds Arc. It will be written by Nick Winn and illustrated by Jorge Monlongo, with Derek Ballard continuing his series of backup stories, and Shawn Lee on letters.

The covers, from top left, are:

Cover A by Nick Winn.

Cover B by Jorge Monlongo.

"Princess Bubblegum" blank variant.

Part 3 of Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb's "Infinite Interlocking" cover art.

Oni Press May 2025 Solicitations: Adventure Time (2025) #2 and a new paperback collection of old comics

The advance solicitations for May have given us our first look at the second issue of Adventure Time (2025) #2, which will be released on 7 May 2025 and retail for $5.

Here is the blurb:

It’s POETRY TIME! Finn and Jake may be looking for the Enchiridion, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help out a citizen in need! So when they stumble upon Henry Alexander, poet extraordinaire, trying to win the heart back of his lost lady love, the duo springs into action! Joined by the never-ending pie-throwing robot Neptr and Finn’s totally not-a-crush (stop making it weird, Jake) Flame Princess, can our melodic, mellifluous, magnificent musicians help Henry craft the sickest rhymes and most epic love poetry of all time? If music be the food of love, dear friends . . . From cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (Bloody Mary) and artist Asia Simone (Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll)—the next in this first arc’s rotating cast of interior artists—and featuring a brand-new back-up story by 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), the all-new Adventure Time ongoing series continues here!

Asia Simone will illustrate this second issue, with Nick Winn as lead writer. Derek Ballard's series of backup stories will continue in this issue as well. Also credited on the cover is Shawn Lee, who I think is doing the lettering.

The above covers, from the top left, are:

Cover A by Nick Winn.

Cover B by Asia Simone.

"Infinite Interlocking" part 2 by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, which will form a complete scene when all placed in a row.

Variant cover by Adventure Time character and visual designer Michael DeForge.

Black and white variant of Cover A.

Blank yellow "Jake" variant, matching the blank blue "Finn" variant of issue #1.

Oni Press have also announced this month a new collection of old comics. Down Memory Lane will collect the main stories from three arcs of the 2012 comics series; #31-34, #46-49, and #54-57.

This is part of Oni Press' Compact Comics line, which means it is smaller and cheaper than most volumised comics, and is sized and shaped more like a paperback novella. It will be coming out on 3 September 2025 and will retail for $10.

It's worth noting that all the stories in this edition will already be collected by the Compendiums, but this is a good option if you're not picking those up. It includes stories written by Ryan North and Christopher Hastings, and drawn by various illustrators. The cover art is from Adventure Time (2012) #56, and is by Bree Lundberg.
