Coover, C. & Tobin, P. (2014). Adventure time: The flip side. Los Angeles, CA: KaBOOM
Finn and Jake are off for an adventure of a life time. Finn has been suffering from “Quest
Deficiency” so Jake is trying to find a quest fast! Not just any quest, it must be a great
one. Jake goes to the Quest Board which
is a place for others to post quests that are needed. He finds a quest worthy of their time on the
back of the board. He is not sure why
Princess Bubblegum is upset about getting a quest from the back of the
board. Finn and Jake quickly learn that
they have actually accepted a reverse quest.
Their quest was to rescue Painting Princess from the Monkey Wizard but
Painting Princess has not yet been kidnapped by the Monkey Wizard. They must now convince Monkey Wizard to
kidnap her or all of Ooo will be doomed.
Finn and Jake encounter con men, ogres, and many other obstacles and
tests they must pass such as eating a ton of ice cream in order to move on in
their quest. Ooo begins to unravel, with
everything being in a reversed world.
Zombies attack the town when finally the Monkey Wizard agrees to kidnap
Painting Princess to set Ooo straight again.
This graphic novel was a quick read and entertaining. This was my first “Adventure Time” graphic
novel to read and I enjoyed getting to know Finn and Jake. The illustrations work well with the text to
tell of the adventures of Finn and Jake.
The panels are full of action with some wordless frames. Readers will laugh out loud at the humor in
this novel. For instance, in one panel,
Finn says, “You’re…not sure? Jake…what
do I do?” and Jake replies with “I don’t have all the answers dude. If I did, I could finished this crossword.” This all takes place while in an intense
scene with zombies attacking them.
