After finishing the first volume I couldn't wait to get stuck into this one and was overjoyed to find that this volume was bigger (collecting 5 comics as opposed to 4 in v.1)and better! First off, an single issue story in which Finn and Jake meet the very odd Adventure Tim in a strange distant, but somewhat familiar land. The an epic time travel adventure lasting four issues/chapters which is an absolute blockbuster. Can't wait to see what volume 3 brings. This is the second installment of the Adventure Time comic series and this issue we go traveling through time! Ryan North has done a really good job in not detatching this from the TV show as this really feels like an episode in the tv series. In some ways it's better because it feels like the stories go on for longer than the 15 minutes it's usually condensed into.The story starts with Finn and Jake fighting over who will eat the delicious cupcake BMO has made. The adorable BMO challenges them to see who can go the furthest in a straight line in order to win the cupcake prize. We get to see some lovely scenes of the Land Of Ooo we haven't seen before because of this story and some parts that even Finn and Jake haven't encountered before. They come across a familiar looking treehouse inhabited by a strange character who appears to be an embodiment of Finn and Jake melded together. Our math pals help "Adventure Tim" fight the Mice King in a gross battle to save Princess Chewypaste. I hope Tim appears in later issues of this comic, as his character would make for some hilarious stories.When that's all done and our pals are safely back home we find out that Princess Bubblegum has invented... A TIME MACHINE!!!!! Jake can't resist toying with the new invention that sends you back to the moment in time when it was created. He can't resist doing over his mistakes and after one big "Don't Worry, Do What You Like. I'll Reset The Timeline" Party, Jake finds out that Princess Bubblegum has destroyed the machine. Well she did tell them it was only for emergencies.Jake tells Finn about his problem and with the help of NEPTR the pie throwing robot they fix the time machine. But when they press the button they're transported to the future! (Gasp! Oh no... but at least they have awesome buffed up future bodies!) They meet Queen Bubblegum and she explains to them that BMO created some creepy robot versions of Finn and Jake (which we see earlier on in a small comic strip at the bottom of the page), but the robots turned evil and now their lives consist of fighting the evil robots and trying to get the Land Of Ooo back to how it used to be! The artwork in these scenes is really beautiful, the Candy Kingdom, Finn and Jake's treehouse and the entire land has been transformed into a mechanical dystopian world. Finn looks like he's walked out of a children's version of Terminator. They did a brilliant job of the whole comic here, the story was brilliant. It was really exciting to see our favourite characters in the future. There's been mention that Bubblegum and Marceline are lovers but Cartoon Network didn't want to go through with it in the tv show. I think there are some quite blatent references to it in the tv show and I think they've kept that in the comics as well, which is really sweet to see.I won't spoil the ending for you though, you'll have to read it for yourself! I can't wait to read the next ones and see what new adventure we go on.Oh, just one last thing... Will you do the science dance with me?
What do You think about Adventure Time Vol. 2 (2013)?
Vol 1 was better, but this one still is sweet :)
