To start, the art looks amazingly like the cartoon. There are a lot of things about this book that I loved. If you love Adventure Time, this is a fantastic way to indulge yourself beyond the show. Overall, 4.5 is probably a better rating, but 4 is what I can give it. The cover gallery in the back of the book was also fun to look at since some of them were drawn in an artists specific style. They do some fantastic things with those designs, though, so I can hardly complain. The art is gorgeous and more or less resembles the show exactly. I liked the little comments that they leave at the bottom of some of the pages as well. It's also clever and funny, with a plenty of references sprinkled in for both the show and material beyond. The dialogue was spot-on and I can easily found my mind filling in the voice actors for their respective parts.

So, while it was great for an Adventure Time story, the Lich aspect was a bit tiring for me. The story was good for the most part, though after the few heavy Lich episodes in the show, I've found I'm a bit tired of the Lich himself, though not what his appearances typically mean for the storyline and history of Ooo. The first volume spins the tale of how The Lich uses a bag with infinite space to suck up Ooo with a plan to then toss it into the sun and destroy everything once and for all. I picked this up because I adore Adventure Time and thought it would be fun to read the comics that followed our mathematical heroes Finn and Jake in the magical land of Ooo. What time is it?! ADVENTURE TIME COMICS REVIEW TIME!
