Media Release -- BOOM! Studios and Cartoon Network Enterprises are proud to debut ADVENTURE TIME: BEGINNING OF THE END #1, the first issue of a new three issue limited comic book series set in a world separate from but inspired by the Emmy® Award-winning Cartoon Network animated series Adventure Time, in May 2018. When Finn breaks a promise he can't remember making, Chronologius Rex, the Lord of Hours and All Time, confronts him. Ted Anderson (My Little Pony) and Marina Julia (Lumberjanes, SLAM! The Next Jam) set Finn on a journey to confront the ghosts of his past selves, the alternate selves of his present, and all his possible futures, while Jake gathers help from all of Ooo and beyond. Together, they must save Finn before he goes beyond the Vanishing Point and is erased from every reality!

ADVENTURE TIME: BEGINNING OF THE END #1 features a wraparound main cover by Victoria Maderna (Adventure Time), along with variant covers by Diigii Daguna (Adventure Time Comics) and Corey Booth (Over The Garden Wall).

"Adventure Time is a show that holds a special place in my heart—it's so big, so weird, so beautiful, and it never goes where you expect it to," said Ted Anderson. "This series is my tribute to the characters and that special world, focusing on what makes Finn and Jake's adventures so special."

"I'm excited to be working on BEGINNING OF THE END—I've definitely been a fan of Adventure Time for a while!" said Marina Julia. "It's a really great creative show and it's gone in so many different directions and done so many different things over the years, and that's really fun to get to dive into."

Studios' critically acclaimed KaBOOM! imprint, publisher of world-class licensed series such as Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Peanuts, and Garfield, along with original series like Brave Chef Brianna by Sam Sykes and Selina Espiritu and The Deep by Tom Taylor and James Brouwer.

"ADVENTURE TIME: BEGINNING OF THE END is a celebration of the show and of the comic," said Whitney Leopard, Editor, BOOM! Studios. "Every page will be a wild ride filled with exciting moments for our two best pals, Finn and Jake. Ted and Marina are a perfect team and you won't want to miss their love letter to the series."
