The Land of Ooo is expanding its legacy once again. Oni Press and Warner Bros. are teaming up to release Adventure Time Pride Special: PB Marcy's Infinite Mixtape #1 this coming June, marking the very first Pride-focused comic special for the landmark animated series. Centered entirely on fan-favorite couple Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen, the 40-page issue dives into the pair celebrating their anniversary through music and storytelling.
Written by Rosie Knight and illustrated by Evgenia Vereli, the special leans heavily into what made the series so memorable for its grown-up audience of Millennials and Gen Z fans. Beyond the romance, the comic delivers a major treat for music lovers by introducing brand-new canonical songs written and performed by Marceline and Bubblegum within the story. The project also features variant covers from a lineup of acclaimed artists including Chan, Jaki King, and Mary Ainza, giving collectors plenty of options to grab.
For a community that has followed Bubbline from subtle hints in early seasons to their official confirmation in the series finale, seeing the relationship anchor a dedicated Pride special feels like a natural continuation of the show's cultural footprint. It proves that beloved animated universes continue to thrive long after their final episodes air, finding new life in print, digital spaces, and fan culture.
