When Adventure Time first introduced Fionna and Cake, it was through the Ice King's self-indulgent storytelling—a sword-wielding heroine and her shape-shifting cat in a gender-swapped Land of Ooo. That whimsical premise has since grown into a beloved corner of the franchise, and now Oni Press is bringing the duo back for a four-issue comic series that promises plenty of chaos.
The second issue, hitting shelves on February 24, 2027, finds Ice Queen feeling left out after Prince Gumball invites Fionna and Cake to a one-night-only show in the Circus Kingdom—without her. She crashes the event, declares herself in charge, and takes the entire kingdom hostage. Her demand? Fionna and Cake must join her act and perform flawlessly. For two adventurers used to improvising their way out of trouble, that's a tall order.
Exclusive Covers Revealed
Collider has your first look at three covers for Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake #2, featuring art by series writer Jenna Ayoub, Reggie Graham, and Dakota Cates. Ayoub's Cover A and Graham's Cover B are joined by a Fionna Blue blank sketch variant, plus two retailer incentive covers—a 1:10 variant by Cates and a 1:20 by Calculus Homework. Each cover captures the playful yet perilous tone of the story, with Ice Queen looming large over the proceedings.
What to Expect in Issue #2
Ayoub writes the issue, with Damali Beatty on interiors. The clever twist here is that Ice Queen's ultimatum turns Fionna and Cake's usual strengths into liabilities. Fionna can swing a sword, and Cake can stretch into any shape, but charging the ringmaster becomes a much riskier move when the audience is held hostage. For once, improvising through a disaster also means giving the villain exactly the show she wants.
If you're jumping in fresh, the first issue arrives on January 13, 2027, setting up Prince Gumball's invitation and the party crash that kicks off this whole mess. It's a fun, chaotic ride that fans of the original series won't want to miss.
