Princess Bubblegum needs a hammer for one of her experiments. Peppermint Butler promptly tries to find the whereabouts of P.B.'s hammer. Turns out she lent hers to Finn and Jake, who'd misplaced their blood sword and needed a weapon to go on a quest to retrieve it.

But... where are Finn and Jake?!



Without them, The Land of Ooo is in chaos.



Heroes are needed to keep the peace and order of Ooo.
So it's up to Peppermint Butler to come up with new heroes to defend the Kingdom.

First up, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Tree Trunks.



Who, despite their differences, manage to solve the problems with which they are faced. Too bad they decide this hero business is not their thing...

Next up, The Earl of Lemongrab and Lumpy Space Princess.




...who turn out not to be the best "heroes" for the job.

So, on to Ice King and Susan Strong!



Who do manage to solve their mission, but Susan can't work with someone who refuses to acknowledge his deep psychological problems...

So Peppermint Butler takes matters into his own hands. Remembering Marceline's suggestion, Peppermint Butler goes to the Land of the Dead, to visit his old pal Death and see if Finn and Jake are, indeed, dead.



Of course, this wouldn't be Adventure Time if they didn't have to face a perilous challenge...


With the help of Cinnamon Bun, Peppermint Butler assembles several other "heroes", some of them playing unlikely roles on the team...



They try to save Finn and Jake.
But are Finn and Jake really in need of saving?

En Chuches detectives seguimos las aventuras del mayordomo Menta (un personaje pero que muy interesante) y Don Polvorón, que reciben el encargo de la princesa Chicle de mantener a salvo Chuchelandia. El toque de novela negra le sienta muy bien a la obra, pudiendo tirar de algunos de sus clichés con bastante gracia. Creo que estos cómics con los personajes secundarios de la serie son incluso más entretenidos que los de Finn y Jake, quizá por la libertad que le da a los guionistas, y la oportunidad de ver a aquellos personajes de otra forma. Una lectura muy amena.

This collection is full of awesome team ups! Did you ever want to know what would happen if Lumpy Space Princess met Lemongrab, or if Marceline and Tree Trunks had to work together? This story was really goofy and fun, and the art was fantastic. You'll love it.
