Mid. Only story in this one worth the read is the original fight between Marcy and The Moon.

All the others are garbo

[Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

At the very least, the mini-comics collected in the fourth and fifth volumes of Sugary Shorts, extras compiled from various Adventure Time publications, are all fun. While some may be a bit sillier than others, like the other volumes of the series, the eclectic artists included do a great job capturing the voice and tone of the show. Some attempt to replicate the style of the show deeply, while others interpret its characters and themes through their own artistic lens. Some work better than others and some are just filler, but the best, such as Dale Beran’s piece in Vol. 4, Flowers for Paulticore, really accomplish both.

I share more of my thoughts on Adventure Time comic tie ins my article "Adventure Time” in Amber: Its Bittersweet Nostalgia and Comics, at Fandom Fanatics.

I really liked the Marceline storyline in this one, it gave good lore. The rest of the stories were kind of flat, but I enjoyed them anyway
