Adventure Time #5 Is a Perfect Starting Point for the Oni Press Series

Oni Press recently acquired the rights to the Adventure Time franchise, and they've wasted no time in delivering new comic book adventures featuring Finn, Jake, and the rest of the gang. Oni is about to kick off the monthly series' next major story arc, "Friends to the End," and IGN has an exclusive first look at cover art for issue #5.

Head to the slideshow gallery below to see cover art for Adventure Time #5:

Adventure Time #5 is written by Nick Winn (Silver Sprocket’s Bloody Mary) and drawn by Kenzie Bugg (Adult Swim’s Tuca and Bertie). Both creators have also contributed covers to this issue, alongside Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, and Agustin Morales. Issue #5 also features a backup story by Adventure Time animated series writer and storyboard artist Derek Ballard.

Here's Oni's official description of the new issue:

Finn and Jake, fresh off their funky dance battle in outer space, get word that Billy has mysteriously reappeared in… the Computer Kingdom?! Determined to find the Enchiridion for Computer Princess and prove himself a true hero (and not just some adventurin’ kid), Finn wastes no time in getting there—but Billy is not all he appears… Just what exactly is hiding in Computer Princess’s past? And what darkness awaits in Finn’s future? Definitely totally not something super-duper evil, right? RIGHT?!?!

Adventure Time #5 will be released on September 3, 2025. You can also preorder Adventure Time Vol. 1: Best of Buds on Amazon.
