Kaboom! did an amazing job compiling the entire 'Marceline and the Scream Queens' comic mini-series. You can tell they put a lot of love and attention into everything - they made the book "feel" very rock, as if you had bought a biography about a favorite band of yours with behind-the-scene pictures and copies of their posters, etc. It's hard to explain without seeing it for yourself, but it's great.
The good news is all of the "side stories" made by other artists in the original comics made it into the book too. I heard that the compiled 'Adventure Time' comics did not have all the "side stories" did not make it in, so I was a bit worried. The book is also jammed with "clean" covers and art from the original separate issues. They are so bright and colorful that some may be tempted to tear them out and hang them on their walls.
The story itself is very entertaining (and actually pretty emotional towards the end) and very true to the overall feel of the 'Adventure Time' cartoon. Marceline is about to go on tour with her band, but before she does, Princess Bubblegum sets up their concert in the Candy Kingdom. Princess Bubblegum dismisses Marceline's music as a bunch of noise, but when Finn and Jake convince her to go see the band in action, she feels the open road calling. PB signs on as the manager of the tour and off they go. While on tour though, Marceline gets more and more paranoid and depressed about her music. Will her real and imaginary critics turn her into a rock-and-roll monster? At the core it's a story about PB and Marceline's strained friendship (they obviously have a past together, what happened between them is still a mystery) and Marceline's deep insecurity. That's where the story works best.
