Another month, another set of solicitations from Boom Studios. (ignore Garfield)

The most exciting thing on here is probably the blurb for Season 11 #5, which will be the first issue of the series’ second arc, and the first one to actually follow Ted Anderson’s story. And according to editor Michael Moccio, it’s going to be a good one:

It looks like the arc is going to focus on Finn having to choose between the humans and his friends in Ooo. This is exactly the kind of story I’ve been hoping the comics would explore now that they don’t have to avoid stepping on the show’s toes. This will also be the first arc conceptualised after the release of the finale, so it should be a lot more lore-consistent than the first arc. Season 11 #5 will release on the thirteenth of February.

Marcy & Simon #2 will be coming out on the twentieth of February. The blurb doesn’t reveal much but I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what Olson can do with these characters post-finale.

Finally, we also have an advanced solicit for the last collected volume of the original main Adventure Time comic series, Volume 17, which will collect the final two issues as well as the 2018 Free Comic Book Day Special. It’s coming out on the third of April.

Also coming out in February is the new graphic novel, Marceline the Pirate Queen. And speaking of graphic novels, another early listing has revealed that the next graphic novel after that will be a Fionna and Cake story titled Party Bash Blues. Check out the Amazon listing for the blurb. It is set to come out in August, but the exact date is subject to change.

In other news, former Boom editor Whitney Leopard did an interview for Previews World the other day where she stated that “Season 11 and Marcy & Simon are just the beginning of the plans we [Boom Studios] have for this franchise.” So despite the end of the show it’s still an exciting time to be an Adventure Time fan.

Also as a recap of this past month, we’ve seen the release of Season 11 #2 and also the collected edition of Beginning of the End, which contains a bonus full length fourth chapter which is pretty cool.

Check out the ATChronology media list for the known release dates of all upcoming media. See you next month.
