Exclusive Preview: ADVENTURE TIME #13 marks a new jumping-on point for readers

If you’ve been waiting to dive into the current Adventure Time ongoing series from Oni Press, now is your chance. Adventure Time #13 begins a brand new arc, and today, The Beat has an exclusive first look at what’s to come.

Written by Nick Winn, illustrated by John P Golden, colored by Heather Breckel, and lettered by Shawn Lee, Adventure Time #13 kicks off “Test of Heroes,” the next story arc featuring a quest to save Ooo from the Magic Man after his reunion with Betty, the Ice King, and the heroes of the land goes… well, a little sideways.

Here’s the synopsis:

Why was Magic Man using Finn’s robotic doppelgänger to steal important artifacts fro across Ooo? To impress the one and only Betty Grof, of course! Now a resident of Mars, Betty used to travel Ooo with Marceline and one Simon Petrikov—better known now as Ice King! But this family reunion takes a turn for the worse when Magic Man’s jealousy gets the better of him and he accidentally—maybe—starts the apocalypse.

A sleight of hand turns sour, and a “Test of Heroes” begins! Can Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, and more of your favorite concerned citizens band together to save their home? One thing’s for sure—after this exam, Ooo will never be the same!

Check out interior art below, as well as cover art by Winn, Golden, and Ren Lindroos.  

“Issues #1-12 have led up to the first big test in Finn and Jake’s heroics. The Lich and GOLB were just the beginning (and maybe the end???), but these guys have a lot more to clean up now,” said Winn. “These issues will take the reader down to the Nightosphere, around the Candy Kingdom, and in and out of Ice King’s mind. I’m excited for y’all to enjoy this wacky and intense journey with us!”

Adventure Time #13 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on May 20.
