It should have stood to reason, but the wildly successful Adventure Time TV series spun off into an equally successful Adventure Time comic for Boom! Studios.  It’s consistently been one of my favorite reads every month, featuring the same surreal sense of humor as the show, but using the expanded frame of a comic series to allow it to stand on its own (it also resulted in Adventure Tim, a character that needs to hit TV).  Add that there are variant covers and back stories every month from some of the best talents in the world of independent and online comics, and you have a diverse read that reaches the front of my stack every time a new issue is out.

This same process has resulted in a brilliant mini-series for Marceline and the Scream Queens (written and drawn by Octopus Pie’s Meredith Gran) and caused Boom! to snatch up the rights to Pendelton Ward’s upcoming online series, Bravest Warriors.

The Adventure Time gravy train will keep rolling on, however, as Boom! revealed today the next mini-series coming down the pike - Adventure Time With Fionna & Cake!

Based on the popular gender swapped episode of the series (resulting in human boy Finn and dog Jake being replaced with female Fionna and cat Cake), this six issue mini series will be launched in January 2013, and will be written and drawn by Adventure Time storyboard artist Natasha Allegri, who originally cut her teeth in the online comics game before going big time.

The first cover is at the top of the post, and if this holds up to the standard set by the Adventure Time ongoing and the Marceline mini series, this will be a heck of a read!
