The Adventure Time fandom has its fair share of shippers, including a sizable contingent who ship Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen. Those fans will be thrilled to know that Oni Press is exploring that relationship in an alternate universe comic called Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1.
IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1 ahead of its October 2025 release. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1 is written and illustrated by Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Carlone Cash (PeePee PooPoo). This 56-page issue features covers by Cash, Robyn Smith, and Chloé Stawski. Here's the official description of the issue:
Experience all the fun of college (and none of the stress) in this giant-sized comic spectacular starring Princess Bubblegum and Marceline! What, do you think Ice King should get to have all the fun?! Heck nah! Fanfics are cool and all, but you know what’s even cooler? Peering into alternate universes—and Prismo’s got the perfect one in mind . . . Princess Bubblegum has just started school at Ooo University (double majoring in chemistry and princess, of course!). But between difficult roommates, overreaching bodyguards, assassination attempts, and—more importantly—a full class schedule, will Bubblegum be able to survive her first year in college?! With the help of one super-cool, super-mysterious flying vampire who she is mayybeee falling in love with, it shouldn’t be all that hard. Turns out Marceline and Bubblegum are made for each other in any universe!
Adventure Time: The Bubbline College Special #1 is priced at $7.99 and will be released on October 10. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
If the misadventures of Jake and Finn are mroe your speed, Oni also recently launched a new Adventure Time ongoing series that acts as a sequel to the cartoon.
