Adventure Time #1 is a wonderful example of what an all-ages comic can and should be. The dialog is genuinely funny and pulls off the fine balance of being intelligently written but still well within the grasp of kids. The writer (Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics fame) has a Master’s in computational linguistics, so maybe that helps?

In any case, the writing is paired with some incredible art by Shelli Paroline. It’s insanely detailed without losing its caroonish charm; and when characters go off-model, it’s always in a fun way, not in a “this looks wrong” way.

All together, this book is packed with content, from the main story to the backup story to the extra jokes crammed in the page margins. Easily worth your $4.
