BMO = ❤️

[Jemma · Rating 4 out of 5]

In 'Masked Mayhem', Jake and BMO are off on an adventure. It is Masquerade Day which means that all our favourites are having parties: the Ice King is throwing an all-you-can-eat luncheon, there's a dance party in Lumpy Space, Marceline is opening her haunted house to visitors, and Princess Bubblegum is hosting a ball. Jake and BMO decide to don their costumes and go to all of these events. However, soon they realise that someone is pranking each party! Can they find out who the prankster is before they ruin Masquerade Day?

This graphic novel was a cute one. I love BMO and he and Jake are the perfect duo. BMO dresses as a detective and the noir-esque touches were adorable. Every line of BMO's is on point for his character.

What the hamsteaks?
Its Masquerade day in the land of Ooo and someone has been pulling pranks. Detective Bmo is on the case.
Bmo with a boss ass mustache makes this one of the greatest mysteries ever in the candy land.

I adored this! Although I may be a little bit biased since I love BMO...

This one was so cute! BMO is so adorable and I love him so much! As always the illustrations are beautiful and vibrant. This one features Jake and BMO on a masquerade holiday.

Mostly a Jake and BMO adventure, and BMO is cute in this one. They go to all kinds of functions of masquerade day where everyone dresses up & BMO finds a case to solve due to a ruinous party prankster.

[Angustia⋆Cósmica · Rating 5 out of 5]

We dived into a cozy mystery territory as Jake and BMO have their party marathon interrupted by several pranks attacking each host; that means detective BMO and taco Jake must find the culprit.

Also I wonder if Finn was dressed up as Vegeta or Megaman, but I doubt this mystery gets to be solved.

BMO stories are always cute as, and this one did not disappoint. A fun story that includes many favourite characters and even a bit of flirtatious Bubbline for the shippers.

Recommended for fans of the series. A lot of words per page, but nothing too complex.

After reading two love based books why not sit back and enjoy some graphic novels?
Adventure Time is definitely one of my guilty pleasures to watch when I actually go downstairs and watch TV. It also holds a lot of fond memories as it is a TV show that brings my other siblings downstairs and we actually spend sometime together in the same room.

This graphic novel was just a cute little read with BMO as the main POV and he id trying to discover who is playing pranks on everyone. It was very fast to read and it is also a very bright and colourful graphic novel. There isn't much to say about this graphic novel other than I enjoyed it and enjoyed seeing all the Adventure Time characters in graphic novel form.

This is a great story, but for some reason there were little continuity errors that just kind of bugged me. Like, B-MO got a mustache! But the next page, B-MO's missing that 'stache in two scenes! B-MO should always have a mustache!! And when B-MO is talking to Ronnie at the end, one page shows B-MO with a medal, but the next page it's missing (for no reason, it shows up on the following pages). Still super cute, I just had to rank for a minute!

Another awesome entry in the Original Adventure Time comics series, check out more on my blog, Reading Rainstorm!

[Melanie Gaum · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute story, but there were some grammatical errors and art inconsistencies for example, Marceline's face is transformed in the haunted house, but in a flash back to that scene she looks totally different.

[Scott wachter · Rating 4 out of 5]

detective BMO fo life.

[Loto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Super cute story and my favorite characters. Only why the jakes and bmos costumes design changes through the book?

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

BMO was perfect in this! The numerous Sherlock Holmes references were also brilliant.

[Ham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as funny as some of the earlier ones. But LSP was worth the extra star.

[Helen Pugsley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read it all today. It was a lot of fun! I need to read more graphic novels!

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Detective BMO is solving the case of the prankster! Jake and BMO are on their way to the Masquerade Day parties and run into some trouble at each stop along the way to the final party at the Candy Kingdom, where BMO reveals the prankster!

[Alex Sarll]

A sweet but entirely inconsequential story, worth it for BMO playing private eye. Really not convinced by the bit where LSP behaves in a mature and responsible fashion.
