I wanted to write this blog entry discussing a show
that I recently started watching called, "Adventure Time". I first
want to start by saying that I purely discovered this show through a co-worker
who suggested I should give this show a look at the very least. So eventually I
came around on the idea (plus I had nothing else that I was watching at the
time) and borrowed season 1 from him. I have to admit, the first few episodes I
had no clue what I was watching and things were happening so randomly that it
had almost no structure at all. However this did not take away from me being
introduced to Finn and Jake!!! These two main characters were soooo funny and
engaging that I couldn't stop watching them. Let me give you a brief background
on the show: Adventure Time takes place in the post apocalyptic land of Ooo (yes
that's the name of the place). We as viewers don't get to see much of what
happened to Earth other than some background destruction of cars and some
mentions of "mushroom wars" which is reference to the nuclear war
that destroyed the Earth which left Finn as the only human alive. What I really
love about this show are the supporting characters that make the show very
enjoyable. The first character is Princess Bubble Gum who rules the Candy
Kingdom and is made of bubblegum. I feel like she gives the show a bit of a romantic
tone by her interactions with Finn. Another fun character is The Ice King who
is the lonely antagonist on the show. Through his antics and constant pursuit
of all the princesses in the land, this character adds to the humour element of
the show. Moving right along we get to the main characters, Finn and Jack who
are the best of friends on the show. One interesting fact is the character Jake,
who is a dog that can talk and stretch his body in all directions which is a
cool thing to watch. Most people love Jake and find him humorous, but my
personal favourite is Finn. If there's any character that stands out and takes
us on this bizarre and funny adventure, it's Finn. I'm a huge fan of Finn and
his character along with Jake as they compliment one another perfectly. All in
all, this show is exciting, funny and quirky with not much continuity between
episodes but is a roller coaster ride of laughs and adventure. I highly
recommend the show!!! You shall not be disappointed.

My On My Shelf item is this 1991 Wizard Collectors Edition # 1. I was a huge fan of Wizard in its early years of inception and with great aspects like "hidden gems" and "top 10 books of the month," Wizard really set themselves apart from any competition. Sadly, Wizard has stopped making its price guide books but it's great to remember the early years when this magazine had every comic nerd salivating!!!
