'Islands' is a spin-off Adventure Time graphic novel, not based in Finn and Jake's storyline but one where something terrible has happened in Ooo. Jo, aka Bunny Girl, who was a friend of Marceline's finds herself with a group on board a ship fleeing a vampire infestation and hoping to find somewhere safer to settle. There are things to fear from the sea, but soon enough their ship sights land and when they disembark they find other survivors from Ooo. As the group decides to settle on this island, Jo accidentally gets lost and must face her fears on her own.
This story was quite short, and at first I wasn't sure I liked the art style as it is quite different from the normal style of the Adventure Time graphic novels. However, I soon came to appreciate it for the sweet, empowering tale it tells.

A bonus entry for an earlier post on my Reading Rainstorm blog, this was a little Adventure Time comic prequel from a couple of years ago I missed. I think it may be among my favorite of the Adventure Time Original Graphic Novels so far, with a fun, colorful art style distinctive from any of the other comics, which I found quite interesting. For me, having not yet caught up with the show, there is a definite mysteriousness involved in the proceedings. Characters who seem reminiscent of those from the show, and a cameo by Marceline show that there are connections, though how these animal hatted characters adrift on a post apocalyptic sea relate to Finn the Human Boy or perhaps the Hyoomans still remains to be seen for someone a little behind. Definitely makes me curious as to what’s going on with the show and it’s upcoming final season.
