I've fallen into a good rhythm with these comics; it's much easier to transition from one story/art style to the next than when I started the first volume in this series.  I am curious as to how these stories were chosen and to what extent the artists and writers were expected to change them.  I noticed one instance of poor word choice, where Princess Bubblegum described Finn as "restless," when he was exhausted and half-asleep.  It's true that he lacked rest (and was technically restless), but I'm surprised that an editor didn't point out how "restless" implies "agitated" and "frantic" more so than "sleepy" and "tired."  Perhaps the comics were accepted as they were submitted, without a feedback period and chance for edits?  I'd be curious to know more about how these stories were compiled.  Minor details aside, I am very impressed by all of these artists and their comic-making prowess!
