I've read a handful of comics and am slowly trying to figure out which ones I gravitate towards. Free Comic Book Day is such a good way to do this. Even though I live in The Netherlands and didn't have time to go to a participating book shop I actually managed to snag up some free comics online. Score!
This Adventure Time comic was a safe bet for me. I've read Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake by Natasha Allegri before and loved it. There's just something very endearing about these characters. And if it's one thing I've discovered it's that I enjoy comics about girlpower the most. It's so cool to see that girls don't always have to be the princess who doesn't do much, which was the case for female characters I mostly saw portrayed growing up.
I like that Fionna is a tomboy, but she still has a nice bow around her sword. For some reason I also really gravitate towards Cake (maybe even more than Jake, sorry not sorry). This comic isn't that special, but it was very wonderful to read it in my loungechair on a very relaxed evening. Just sipping a drink and letting myself slide into the land of Ooh for about ten minutes.
I've only read two Free Comic Book Day comics before this, a Spider-Man and a Miraculous Ladybug one. The other two felt like they didn't have enough content. Most of them featured two small stories or even a story that had nothing to do with the rest of it. Beggers can't be choosers, but I really prefer this Adventure Time one where you just read one story. Again, this didn't wow me but it was enough to keep me entertained.
This is hardly among the top stories that I will use as arguments as to why Adventure Time is so good. It doesn't even really have the weird storytelling from the show. In fact it may be a little more relaxing than the tv-series. But as someone who bingewatched a lot of slice of life anime in high school I can't say I mind.
