j4gm asked: Forbidden Planet have sent out emails saying that Season 11 has been cancelled, and Season 11 #7 has also been removed from Previews World. However I can't find a source directly from Boom. Are you able to confirm/deny? And if it really has been cancelled, are you allowed to post the story you've written anyway? I've been a big fan of your Adventure Time series and I can't believe they'd pull the plug on it like this.

It’s true, the series has been canceled. Issue 6 will be the final issue. I had already scripted issue 7, and we’d gotten as far as producing layouts, before the decision was made. I believe the upcoming trade collection for the series will include all six issues, rather than just the first four, so at least you’ll have everything in one big book.



BOOM! specifically noted that the decision was due to low sales, not to the quality of my work or the overall reception of the series. I’m sure this wasn’t an easy decision to make, but to be fair, this was a comic book series continuing a recently-ended TV series that had already been seeing its audience decline; there probably wasn’t much hope for huge sales, no matter how popular it had been in the past. I don’t know what the future of the franchise is—I’m pretty sure Marcy & Simon will finish out its six-issue run, but after that, I have no idea.



I’m eternally grateful to the editors at BOOM! who gave me this chance and for allowing me to be a part of such an incredible series. It’s been a blast, and I still can’t believe they gave me the chance to work on one of my very favorite franchises! And major thanks to Mar Julia, the artist who did such an amazing job on this series—I don’t know what they’re working on now, but I’m sure it’ll be incredible!



I probably won’t be able to share scripts or material for the individual issues—that’s the property of BOOM! Studios and Cartoon Network, after all—but I might be able to talk generally about my plans for the remainder of Season 11. Right now I don’t quite feel up to talking about it, but probably in the future.



Thanks to everyone who read my work! I only got to work on the series for a brief while, but every page of it was an amazingly fun experience. I hope people enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it! (And if you enjoyed my work on AT, maybe check out my work on My Little Pony or my various creator-owned series? #AudienceBuilding)
