Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen are back in Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1, a new comic from Oni Press, with story and art from Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (PeePeePooPoo, Girl In The World.) Polygon has a sneak peek at the comic, which should be utter bliss who wanted more after the Adventure Time special Obsidian.
Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special takes place in an alternate universe in which the couple (who are not yet dating) are attending Ooo University. Princess Bubblegum is a new student, double-majoring in chemistry and “princess.” (Yes, “princess” is a major; this is Ooo University we’re talking about.)
All seems well at first, but between her overloaded course schedule (those princess pre-reqs are no joke), conflicts with roommates (including the ever-selfish Lumpy Space Princess), overly enthusiastic bodyguards (presumably of the banana variety,) and assassination attempts, Bubblegum is struggling to acclimate to her new environment. How will she cope?
The answer, naturally, is Marceline: the (mostly) laid-back, rebellious Vampire Queen of Ooo.
Oni Press has provided Polygon with a sneak peek at the upcoming title, which you can check out below.
“Turns out Marceline and Bubblegum are made for each other in any universe!” reads a press release from the comic’s publisher.
With additional covers by Robyn Smith and Chloé Stawski, Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1 is perfect for Adventure Time fans who are still craving more Bubbline goodness in the same vein as the heartwarming “Obsidian” episode of HBO’s Adventure Time: Distant Lands.
Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1 lands in stores on Aug. 20.
